Wholesale LED Flashlights Source: CREE LED Market Ripe For Resellers

June 10th, 2010

Shenzhen, Guangdong ( prfriend.com ) June 9, 2010 — Established LED flashlights retailers need to face some challenges from resellers, according to China wholesale LED flashlight manufacturer Chinavasion.

The ‘upmarket’ LED Flashlights industry is one that attracts motivated buyers, who often end up paying far more than they should for lights that don’t have outputs they would expect.

According to Rose Li, PR Manager for wholesale LED flashlights manufacturer, the average LED flashlight from a branded LED torchlight ‘leader’ can cost anywhere between 200 and 500 US dollars.

“The average consumer purchasing something from ‘industry leaders’ is looking at paying more than 300 dollars for a flashlight output of more than 50 lumens.”

And while consumers are willing to pay these prices, Chinavasion’s Rose Li said this opens up a golden opportunity for resellers – thanks to the good quality LED flashlights becoming available in China.

An example Chinavasion’s Rose Li uses is the company’s own industry leading FlashMAX series that is priced between two to 40 dollars, more than five times less than name brand offerings.

“The Chinavasion FlashMAX series of LED flashlights has no LED flashlight under 100 lumens,” according to Chinavasion’s Rose Li.

However, dropshippers and resellers need more than low prices, they also need a good level of support.

According to Chinavasion’s Rose Li, that’s something that only Chinavasion can offer with same day processing, full QC checking and a 12-month manufacturers warranty.

“With Chinavasion’s low price and fast shipping times, it is completely possible to make a healthy profit and still undercut better-known brands while gaining a good reputation with customers.”

“How many LED flashlights suppliers can offer what Chinavasion can with its FlashMAX series lights?”

Noise Control in the Workplace is essential and a legal requirement

March 5th, 2010

Noise control in the work environment where machinery is operating can easily be attained by the use of noise control products.

Noise can be a safety hazard at work, in more than one way. Firstly exposure to noise in the workplace can cause irreversible hearing loss to those working in the area. Secondly, constant exposure to noise is a large contributor to stress in the workplace. Thirdly, if there is a loud noise, then communication between people is hampered, instructions can be misunderstood or not heard, warning signals from machinery and fire alarms not heard.

Each situation is of course unique and assessments are required to be able to attain the best noise reduction results for each situation. However, as an example, you may at the moment have staff wearing personal hearing protection because you have a loud piece of equipment operating nearby. With proper assessment and assistance from professional noise control experts, an acoustic enclosure could be the answer. Surrounding the offending piece of equipment with sound absorption panels may then create an environment where the noise level is comfortable and staff no longer need to protect their hearing at a personal level.

During the design of the acoustic enclosure, air exchange, temperature control and other necessary

Factors enabling your equipment to work to optimum will be taken into consideration.

It is worth considering whether you have a noise problem in your workplace, and by asking these simple questions you will be able to determine whether steps should be taken to eliminate the noise from your environment.

1. Does the noise intrude – like a vacuum cleaner, or a busy restaurant – into your environment for most of the day.

2. Do you have to raise you voice to carry out a normal conversation from about 2 meters away for most of the day.

3. Is your industry one that is known to be a noisy one. E.g. Plastics processing, engineering.

4. Are there noises from operations such as hammering, pneumatic tools taking place.

If you answer yes to any of the above questions, then proper assessment of noise in your environment should be undertaken by noise control solution experts, who will be able to advise, manufacture, supply and install noise control products such as flexible noise control barriers, sound proof doors, acoustic enclosures and much more.

Noise control products, acoustic enclosures, attenuators, baffle silencers, modular acoustic panel, flexible noise control barriers and much more!

Security Lights – A Reliable Watch Dog

December 17th, 2009

Before deciding to own outdoor Flood lighting one should think of the requirements also. The two important questions are that whether Flood lights are needed and if so where it is needed. One should remember that light which is not directed in proper way is going to do more harm than good. Also, it is a point that very weak light sabotages the basic need of erecting Flood lights. These sorts of confusions should be cleared well before going for installing outdoor Flood lights.

To avoid darkness at our homes at night we make use of Security lights. Usually security lights will be having motion detection facility which enables it to switch on when any movement occurs in the surrounding area. Security light is a good device to assure the security of houses. For many reasons, security lights are turning out to be a basic requirement to keep our homes safe and secure. Addition of security lights to the family budget has become inevitable.

Security lights prevent crime to a large extent. Think of a situation where a burglar enters the compound of a house with the intention of burglary. Once he jumps into the compound suddenly a very high beam of light falls on him. No doubt, he will run out of the premises to save himself. No thief is going to break into a house when heavy lights are on and he himself seems to be visible in the security light. But clearly that’s important too, because we know that diffuse reflections get brighter as the light gets closer to the reflecting surface. Once again, we are using a wide-angle lens to photograph the subject. But the edge of the subject that is closer to the light receives so much more light than the edge farther away that uniform exposure is impossible.

Security lights are a security not just against burglary. Security lights help house owner and visitors also. Security light is a boon for whoever reaches the particular home in darkness. Security lights will get switched on once somebody advances towards the front door. To all those, excluding teenager who want to sneak into the house without being noticed by someone else, Security light thus comes to be very much helpful. Outdoor security lights are money savers also. It consumes power only occasionally. It would not remain lighting all the time. The police suggest installing security lights at all houses as it brings down cases of burglary drastically. For those residing in rural and mountainous areas security lights are helpful because it scars pets away. Thus security lights have become inevitable for all families who want peaceful and safe days in life. Obviously, a second light on the other side of the subject would help provide more even illumination. (This is exactly why most copy setups do, indeed, uses two lights.) With extremely shallow lighting angles, however, the second light still does not provide uniform exposure. We simply get two overexposed areas instead of one, with a dark area in the center.
