No Battery Flashlight. Overview: Make money with flashlight that don't require batteries. Modesto entrepreneur bearing the torch of a battery-free flashlightBy Marijke Rowland
Dan Costa has seen the light. In fact, he might just hold the future of flashlights in his
hands. The Modesto entrepreneur and 5.11 Tactical founder has just
launched the Light for Life flashlight, which he and many of those who have
used the product believe will change the hand-held lighting industry
forever.
AT A GLANCEPURCHASE PRICE: $169.99
Those are big claims for what most people think of as a
simple product. But the Light for Life's abilities might be even bigger. The
flashlight is battery-free, recharges in 90 seconds, runs continuously for
two hours and doesn't need replacement parts. Costa said it is the last flashlight you will ever have to
buy. "You are going to buy one flashlight and hand it down to
your kids," he said while showing it off last week in the Modesto
headquarters of 5.11 Tactical, which makes tactical uniforms and gear
favored by law enforcement. "Certain technologies change the landscape, they change
the way things are done. You're never going to go to a drawer where you have
a bunch of flashlights and have to figure out which one works. This will
always work." That may sound like an inflated infomercial promise, but
people who have No Battery Flashlighted and bought the product say seeing is believing. "It sounds like snake oil, but the light works
great," said Ripon police Sgt. Steve Merchant, whose Police Department
was one of the first to have officers order the light after they saw it
demonstrated six months ago. About a dozen officers ordered it on the spot. Merchant has
been using it as his primary on-the-job light for more than a week. "I think this light will become the standard light for
law enforcement. Police officers, we want equipment that works," he
said. "We really have to risk our lives on a flashlight sometimes. We
use our flashlights more than our guns, thank God." The 11½-inch Light for Life, which hit store shelves Aug.
21, is initially being marketed to public safety officers only. At $169.99,
it costs more than what the average consumer has considered paying for a
flashlight
