FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HDS Systems releases EDC Executive™ 200 lumen flashlight
November 30, 2011 - Tucson, Arizona - HDS Systems, the premier designer and
manufacture of the most advanced small flashlights in the world is releasing the EDC
EDC Executive 200 lumen flashlight - the latest member of the EDC Clicky series of
flashlights. This single battery 200 lumen flashlight provides four directly accessible
preset brightness levels that are optimized for everyday use. The flashlight will run for
over 22 hours on the default Medium setting. Yet a blinding 200 lumens is always
available when needed to fend off an attacker or to see something at a great distance.
The EDC Executive flashlight's small size allows the flashlight to be carried in a pocket
or purse, in a holster, of clipped to a belt at all times. There is no reason to leave this
versatile flashlight at home. A flashlight is only useful if you have it with you when you
need it. Hence the name EDC - which stands for everyday carry.
The EDC Executive has 4 presets that may be quickly accessed. A click of the switch
turns the light on to the Medium brightness level (12 lumens). A press and hold of the
button at any time will immediately get you 200 lumens output. Releasing the button
will return you to the previous brightness level. A double-click provides a toggle to a
Medium High brightness level (35 lumens). A triple-click activates a low brightness
level (0.3 lumens). You always have direct access to the amount of light desired -
without the annoyance of scrolling through unwanted settings. The EDC Executive
comes with a silver bezel and flush button.
The EDC Executive has the lowest cost of ownership compared to other flashlights
due to its human factors engineering and extreme efficiency. In normal use, the
runtime is 22 hours. If you assume you purchase premium batteries at $1.75 each,
that comes to $0.08 per hour. Compare that to a typical 2-cell tactical flashlight that
takes 2 batteries every hour and thus costs $3.50 per hour. The EDC Executive pays
for itself very quickly in batteries alone - and even faster if you include the price of the
2-cell tactical flashlight.
The flashlight is built rugged - to tolerate drops and gun recoil. The electronics are
fully potted for maximum moisture, vibration and shock protection. We even use
ACME threads throughout - the strongest threads available.
This highly versatile flashlight can also be customized for added utility. You can
customize this light to keep up with your changing needs or to perform a specific
mission.
HDS Systems has been designing LED flashlights since the white LED was invented
in the mid 1990s. We have built our reputation on lights that survive the harshest
treatment and still get you home safely. HDS Systems manufactured the first high
power, fully regulated, multi-brightness LED flashlight 14 years ago.
HDS Systems' products are designed and built in the United States.
