Today, before the bell, Brite-Strike Tactical Illumination Products announced that the company and its president have received US Patent No. 7,350,692, for a Solar Powered Mailbox/Driveway Lamp. The first product based on this concept is anticipated to be commercially available next year and will be the first Brite-Strike device to utilize LED lighting powered by small solar panels.
Glenn Bushee, President of Brite-Strike, stated, “This product will be our first entry that marries the energy efficiency of LED light with the portability of solar. The technology we developed for our revolutionary tactical flashlights has direct applications for many lighting applications, as we can produce a light far brighter than those currently available in the marketplace. LED lights only use 5% of the equivalent energy of incandescent lights, with almost no heat, so developing products utilizing this technology can make major inroads in cutting energy consumption in this country.
“Our first product will be of the highest quality, and will function as a driveway lamp with mailbox light, address number lights, and an optional motion-activated light with camera-all powered by solar, with no external wiring required. It will offer incredible value for the consumer. We have other more significant products which we are working on, which will be announced in the weeks to come,” continued Mr. Bushee.
