What is the 5.11 Light for Life™ Foundation?
5.11
Tactical Series will introduce a revolutionary new flashlight this
spring. It uses no batteries, charges in just 90 seconds and shines at
90 lumens for 90 minutes per charge. In bright mode, it shines at 270
peak lumens. Called the Light for Life™ UC3.400™, the flashlight is
rated for 50,000 charge cycles (that equals one charge a day for 135
years) and has no memory degradation issues. As the world’s first
“battery-less” flashlight, it’s green, lightweight, cost-effective and
lasts practically forever. It is the only flashlight an officer or
family may need for a lifetime.
As part of 5.11’s efforts to
give back to the community and world, the company has created the 5.11
Light for Life Foundation. 5.11 recently formed a partnership with
D.A.R.E. in order to serve both Law Enforcement and the community at
large.
The mission of the 5.11 Light for Life Foundation is to
promote the health and well being of deserving children and their
families by providing outstanding outdoor recreational activities,
educational opportunities, scholarships and other beneficial programs
in conjunction with Law Enforcement organizations with the same
mission.
5.11’s new Light for Life flashlight is designed to
last for generations to come, and so will D.A.R.E. and the children we
hope to positively influence with the Life for Life Foundation –
sending youth out to be “positive lights” in their communities!
Don’t wait!
The
Montana Adventure contest is an outstanding opportunity to recognize a
student who serves as a positive role model in their school and/or
community and exemplifies the principles of D.A.R.E. Nominate your
deserving student today! To learn more about 5.11 Tactical, visit
