Definitely the brightest of all the colors I’ve purchased which is all of them I’m hoping the orange is super bright I’m hoping the orange is super bright%.
This is fantastic. Military uses them because they are durable, long-lasting, and have a high cool factor. For many years, I worked as a camp ground security 'official' (lol), and I can think of numerous applications for these. Trail markers on the inside of the tent, sticking them on my'securi- Anyway, the price is a little high, but they are brand new, so. The fact that I cracked one at around 1:50 made me feel a lot better about the price. 00 p. m. , and by 3 p. m. , 00 a. m. , it was still producing enough light for me to get around fine in a dark suburban house (so fifteen hours or more; they are advertised at ten, I believe). The only disadvantage was the short shelf life (like a year).
Amazon sells two different kinds of them. There are two types of people: those who are cheap and those who are wealthy. Choose the less expensive option; both are manufactured by Cyalume and emit the same amount of light. br>br>These aren't meant to light up a room; they're meant to mark it.
They are extremely bright and last for a long time.
First and foremost, these should not be used as a substitute for traditional stick chem lights in the majority of cases. The light output is in no way comparable to that of a good stick chem light. However, these are much more convenient to use than a stick chem light for marking and identification purposes. br>br>They fit into a cargo pocket, tactical vest pocket, or IFAK with ease. The adhesive backing adheres to most clothing reasonably well, but it will slip off with vigorous movement, such as running, and it does not handle moisture well. At up to 75-foot distances, the light output is sufficient for identification. With the naked eye, you can see 100 yards, but beyond that, it gets pretty faint, at least in my opinion. These had an exceptional "burn" time, lasting about 8 hours at full brightness and then dimming slowly for at least another 10 hours. br>br>These are primarily used during tactical/combat medicine courses to identify "bodies" that need to be treated or have already been treated. They can be an excellent organizational tool when used in conjunction with a color-coding system to distinguish between different types of injuries and treatments. The ability to write on them is also useful; for example, you can indicate blood type, time of treatment/injury, and so on. They can also be used to identify team members during night simulations. br>br>An IR version of these would be fantastic at some point. I would recommend these for specific applications, but not as a complete replacement for a traditional stick chem light.
The ones that cost $60 or the ones that cost $28. Vispads can be divided into two groups. br>The $60 box of 25br>orbr>The $28 box of 25br>According to the advertisement page, one is manufactured by Cyalume and the other is manufactured by Chemlight. These and the less expensive ones were both made by Cyalume when I received them. br>I can't imagine paying twice as much for something just because it says "military.

It's bright and lasts for a long time.
It was purchased in March of 2015 and will expire in May of that same year. Date of manufacture: 05/2013.
