Emergency Light Center
Self-powered LED flashlights in an emergency center charger

By Freeplay

The best kind of emergency lighting... never needs bulbs, never needs batteries, & always ready when you need it.

The Light Center is a wall mounted cabinet housing a bank of three Freeplay flashlights. The flashlights are constantly on charge from an AC wall adapter, ready for use at any time. In a power failure an ultra bright red LED beacon is activated, pinpointing the location of the unit. And if you use one of the flashlights for so long that its charge runs out, its built-in crank allows you to charge it yourself. The flashlights use an ultra bright white LED cluster so there are no bulbs to burn out.

About the Light Center

Guaranteed light when the power fails, the Light Center provides the ultimate independent lighting solution for emergency and everyday situations. The Light Center is a wall-mounted cabinet housing a bank of 3 Freeplay self-charge and rechargeable Sherpa LED flashlights. The cabinet is visually unobtrusive, equally at home in a residential, office, commercial or industrial environment. The flashlights are always visible through a transparent window, constantly reinforcing awareness of the contents and function of the unit.

The Light Center is connected to an AC wall adapter, which provides a constant trickle charge to the array of flashlights. This ensures an optimum charge to the internal batteries of the flashlights at all times. Each flashlight is equipped with a green LED that illuminates when charging.

In the event of a power outage, the magnetically latched door releases easily by pulling the handle, allowing extraction of the flashlights inside – ready for immediate use. Upon resumption of normal power the flashlights are returned to the cabinet to be charged, ready for the next emergency.

The Freeplay Sherpa LED flashlight epitomizes the dependability to the Freeplay flashlight range. This compact and robust flashlight incorporates failsafe Freeplay self-charge technology and recharge ability together with the reliability of ultra-bright white Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The LEDs provide excellent brightness, efficiency and shine time with their longevity providing the peace of mind of never needing to ever replace bulbs again. Ideal for both every day and emergency use the Sherpa LED is designed to be a serious tool, the self-charge system offering maximum dependability for those times when you can’t afford to be left in the dark by dead batteries.

A quick wind of about 60 seconds gives approximately 30 minutes of light on normal beam and you can rewind at any time for as much shine-time as you want. An LED charge level indicator tells you the optimal winding speed. Offering a choice of 2 brightness settings (economy or maximum brightness) allows you to choose the light setting according to your needs to extend shine times in self-charge or external charge modes. A switch mode power supply drives the LED cluster at a constant brightness, providing a high quality, reliable beam in either economy or maximum brightness settings.

The Sherpa LED is rechargeable and, fully charged, the flashlight provides up to 3 hours 20 minutes of ultra bright light, and 20 hours of normal light (economy setting). Internal mechanical components are specified to industrial standards for repeated use and long life.

The Light Center provides an ideal housing for the Sherpa LED, ensuring that it’s always available and ready to use – at your convenience or in an emergency you’ve got dependable light anytime, anywhere.
