Brite-Strike Technologies, Inc. (OTC: BSTI) is a tactical safety product company that was created by two police officers with the intention to develop LED flashlights that possessed the features needed by police officers and citizens to keep them safe. Their innovative and flawless white light flashlights – which come in various sizes and weights – are used to temporarily blind and disorient a suspect or attacker, providing police officers and citizens with added safety. The company only manufactures tactical LED flashlights with the latest Luxeon® LED and EMP chip technology, as older LED and incandescent lighting technology cannot compare.
In the past, numerous police departments came under public scrutiny when officers used their heavy metal flashlights for beating suspects. Many police departments and law enforcement agencies have now abandoned those heavy-duty flashlights. This series of events led to having the old flashlights replaced with lightweight flashlights that are small but very bright, with the ability to be used as a self-defense mechanism to disorient an attacker.
Brite-Strike Technologies, Inc. designed the Brite-Strike Tactical Blue-Dot Patrol Officer flashlight series specifically for officers. The flashlights are made from milled aircraft aluminum, making them significantly lighter and easier to handle. They have a unique three-sided body for an ergonomic grip, with a front and rear “Tri-Strike crown” for maximum impact for pressure-point and weapon-retention techniques. The flashlights utilize the latest version of electronic power management (EPM), and are all made from LED lights that hold more than 100,000 hours of use so no bulb replacement is necessary.
Compared to an ordinary flashlight, the Brite-Strike beam is a brilliant white light with a wider spread for flood effect. This results in an entire area of a vehicle on a stop being illuminated, and allows the officer to quickly look for weapons, drugs, or someone trying to hide inside the vehicle. If a police officer is attacked, the white light has the ability to temporarily blind and disorient a subject during a hostile situation. With a quick click of the end cap switch, the light switches to a low setting for use as a normal flashlight. The end cap switch is flush, preventing accidental power switches from on to off.
