Product News

Streamlight Inc. 3AA ProPolymer® Dualie® is an intrinsically safe, multifunction flashlight. The company also launched a laser model of the same light, the 3AA ProPolymer® Dualie® Laser, the first intrinsically safe flashlight featuring a red laser pointer. The 3AA ProPolymer Dualie features three output modes. Its LED spot beam provides distance illumination while its LED flood beam is designed for close-up work. The two beams also can be used together to create an uninterrupted light pattern that delivers 245 lumens while optimizing navigation and eliminating blind spots. The laser model of the light provides a focused LED spot beam in combination with the laser pointer, also for separate or simultaneous use. Both lights are safety-rated for use in Class 1, Division 1 environments faced by many industrial workers. www.streamlight.com, 610-631-0600

Kenworth Truck Co. fuel tanks mounted between the frame rails behind the rear axle and a narrower battery box are product enhancements on the Kenworth T270 and T370. Together, these enhancements are part of a focused Medium Duty Body Builder Expansion program that opens up more frame packaging options for medium-duty customers with complex body installations such as utilities, fire and street maintenance departments, towing operators, and hydronic service providers. The new battery box is six inches narrower than the standard box and frees up space on the left-hand side for body installations and for a small DEF tank to be mounted under the cab. With this option, the air tanks are now located on the back of the cab rather than the standard placement below the battery box. The new steel rectangular fuel tanks, mounted between the frame rails behind the rear axle, are available in 45- and 70-gallon capacities. www.kenworth.com, 425-828-5000

TheFireStore NightStick offers a Helmet-Mounted Dual Light constructed from ADC12 aluminum alloy that has a powerful, front-facing 220-lumen beam capable of extending to 600 feet. Meeting all NFPA 1971 8.6 requirements, it is equipped with NightStick’s dual-light technology. The front-facing light has settings of 30 or 100 lumens, whereas the bottom-facing floodlight has settings of 50 or 100 lumens. Illuminating nearby objects, reading gauges, or performing work within an arm’s reach are all possible thanks to the light’s user-selectable brightness floodlight. The light is compatible with virtually all types of helmets and hardhats and can be mounted on the brims of either side of most helmets. Other features include a “survival” mode that offers 15 lumens for more than 60 hours in case of emergencies and a rear-facing, green safety LED. www.thefirestore.com, 800-852-6088
