TerraLUX, Inc., makers of LED portable lighting products and OEM lighting solutions, will unveil the LightStar80™ penlight at the 2011 National Hardware Show this month. The penlight features durability and energy efficiency, with a high color rendering index (CRI) LED and a bite grip for hands-free use. The CRI measures the ability of a light source to represent colors as they appear in natural light. For distributors or retailers looking for technician tools, a high CRI is useful when working with automotive repair, HVAC, telephone systems and other applications. Like others in the LightStar™ family of flashlights, the LightStar80™ is made of durable, aircraft-grade aluminum. Additionally, the flashlight is electronically regulated for constant brightness, with a circuit that adjusts to fluctuations in voltage to ensure constant light output. Not to miss out on design, it is available in titanium grey and high-visibility orange. For more information about the LightStar80™, visit www.terralux.com.
