Tactical Torches for Law Enforcement
Technological advances help all aspects of modern day society, and law enforcement is no different.
Advancements in non-lethal force weapons and crowd control tools have helped police agencies across the country better deal with difficult situations without resorting to guns or other more dangerous means.
One of these amazing new devices is the LED light.
LED, or, light-emitting diode, is a type of light that is extremely powerful, long-lasting and efficient.
Law enforcement officers have started using LED tactical torches for a number of different reasons, including search and rescue, crowd control, and everyday use.
Before we look at how LED torches make a law enforcement officer’s life a lot easier, however, let’s explore the recent history of the remarkable LED.
A Brief History Of the LED
LED tactical torches are a fairly new offshoot of traditional LED applications.
When LED’s were first introduced they were used primarily for practical high-power applications, such as flashlights, area lighting, and indicator lights on electronic devices.
LED lights come in a variety of colors and types, including infrared, visible, or ultraviolet.
LED lights have also gained popularity as grow lights for indoor plants and are also used to sterilize and disinfect water and solid substances.
Although LED’s have not been around for very long their durability and ease of use were immediately recognized and put to good use by a variety of different professionals.
What Makes LED Lights Different?
LED lights and torches are superior to regular lights in a number of different ways.
First, the type of light produced by LED’s is much brighter and more powerful.
A few LED bulbs are all it takes to make an extremely high-powered beam, allowing manufacturers to make very compact hand held lights, such as the Coast LED Lenser HP P7.
Another reason LED products are gaining popularity are because of their incredible efficiency.
LED’s produce more light per watt than regular incandescent bulbs, making them perfect for hand held devices.
LED’s are also very durable due to their nature as solid state components; they are hard to damage with external shock.
And lastly, but probably most importantly, they have a very long life.
The average LED lasts an estimated 35,000 to 50,000 hours, compared to the 10,000 to 15,000 hours you would get with a fluorescent bulb.
The long life span of LED’s also means you save money by not having to constantly replace bulbs.
Many Uses For LED’s In Law Enforcement
Law enforcement agencies have started using LED torches and area lights in a number of different ways, and to great success.
The most commonly used LED tool is the torch, flashlight, or hand held light.
LED torches run circles around traditional flashlights and search lights.
Their brilliant beams help police officers search dark and dangerous areas safely.
The durability of LED’s allows officers to be a lot harder on their torches or flashlights without having to worry about the bulb breaking.
And their long lives mean officers don’t have to worry about their torch going out in the middle of a darkened search.
LED For Non-Violent Crowd Control
Search and rescue isn’t the only use for LED’s that law enforcement agents rely on.
High-frequency flashing LED’s have been used recently as a very effective form of non-violent crowd control.
Known as a strobing tactical torch, or LED incapacitator, this device employs a series of super bright pulses, strobes, light frequencies, and colors to confuse and disorient an attacker or riotous mob.
Although these devices are still fairly experimental, test trials have proved promising and the LED incapacitator may soon be as common a non-lethal weapon as tear gas, pepper spray or Tasers.
Coast brand LED products offer the latest in beam focus technology at a great price.
It’s no wonder, then, that law enforcement officers turn to Coast again and again for all their LED lighting needs.
The advanced focus system Coast developed in their LED Lenser HP P7, for instance, provides a sharply focused beam with a range of up to 1,750 feet and is “a major step forward in flashlight focusing technology,” according to Coast president David Brands.
“No longer will users see dark or hot spots in their flashlight beam.”
LED lighting products have come a long way since their invention in the early 1900s.
Law enforcement officers have found LED’s crucial in almost every aspect of their jobs, from a routine traffic stop in the middle of the night to a high-risk search-and-rescue operation.

About the Author
The P7 Flashlight Shop is a blog/website dedicated to the LED flashlight and more specifically, the SSC P7 Flashlight, which is a bin-c diode that is capable of an incredable 900 lumen output.
P Seven is really a guy named Dave who was pretty blown away with the first high intensity LED flashlight he had an oppourtunity to use while looking for a nice buck that went down in a huge field just after dark.
That was a few years ago and since then the tecnology has gotten much more impressive and much more affordable.
In application, the output is about 250 lumen, but still an impressive amount of light.
I hope you find my article fun and informative and if you have a few minutes, you might want to check out my website: http://p7flashlight.snipershots.net
