What is the performance difference between the Halogen and the LED lights? In general the Halogen is slightly brighter than the 1 watt LED (SS Series) and can focus into a smaller more intense spot.  However the 1 watt LED puts off a homogenous beam in pure white while being completely portable  so there is a trade off.  In general the 1 watt SS series should offer a sufficient amount of light in situations where it is not competing with bright tightly focused overhead lights as you would find in an operatory.   The 700 Series 3 watt LED's are the brightest lights we manufacture.  You get the portability and beam quality benefits of LEDs and a brighter beam than the 10 watt Halogen.

Can I adjust the spot size of the projected beam?  Yes,  All Light-Tech lights have this feature.

How many candle power/mscp/lux etc.. is the light?  There is no standard way to measure the light in the usable beam.  All available measurements are only meaningful when comparing two lights with identical beam patterns and physical area.  Candle power in particular can be the most misleading measurement of light since the beam is not measured just a angle within the beam usually only covering the brightest spot in the beam.  Since any number we give would be useless or even serve to confuse someone trying to compare brands or models we instead try lead the customer to the light best suited for the task at hand.  If you call our factory we can tell with good confidence if the light will meet your needs.  We do not like getting lights back, and that means being responsible about how we represent our products.

If it doesn't work for me, can I return it?  Yes,  There is a 30 day return privilege on all Light-Tech lights.

Can I add the battery and charger later?  Yes.

How long does the battery last?  The battery last about an hour and requires 12 hours to recharge on Halogen lights.  LED lights run for about 3.5 hours and require a 3.5 hour charge.   The cells typically have a lifespan of 500-1000 charges depending on the type of usage they see.  In our experience this has meant 3-5 years in the field to the users of the model #375 battery pack.  We use NiCd cells because they are the most durable of rechargeable battery technologies.  Li-ion cells typically survive only 2 years whether you use them or not and NiMh suffer from a high self discharge rate and damage from extended periods of non-use.

How long does the bulb last?  The bulb is rated for 100 hours.
