Switch on the latest innovations from Active Products
Do-it-yourself and mail order companies, superstores and wholesalers across the UK will all welcome the launch of the new additions to the innovative AP Torch and AP Pro Series lighting ranges.
Ted McLoughlin, Sales Director at Active Products says: “Since we launched our first lighting products in 2003, we have continued to evolve our range. We are continually enhancing our existing lines and creating new high quality, sensibly priced products that add value for our customers."
“We pride ourselves on our ability to embrace new technologies and incorporate them quickly in new and innovative products. The outstanding brightness and performance of the new CREE LEDs and the effectiveness of the chip on board (COB) modules deliver great enhancements to our popular Torch and Pro Series ranges.”
New items included in the 2016 AP Torch range go from light to bright, with a 20 lumens mini head torch all the way up to four different CREE LED high performance torches that will illuminate even the darkest corners with 100, 225, 300 and 500 lumens respectively.
There’s a handy CREE LED key-ring torch delivering an impressive 70 lumens and, for the great outdoors, there’s a new ultra bright 60 LED camping lantern with detachable side torches and an energy-efficient 115 lumens CREE LED camping lantern.
COB LED technology included in the new 90 lumens pocket-sized work light, 135 lumens round hand light, 140 lumens head torch and 185 lumens handheld inspection light means that they all deliver a high quality white light without the glare.
Suitable for the most challenging work environments, the AP Pro series also has impressive additions. There’s a rechargeable COB LED 270 lumens handheld inspection light and a high performance 250 lumens spotlight with an extraordinary 100 hours of battery life on low-beam. New high performance CREE LED torches in the range include new 100 and 500 lumens models, along with new and upgraded 300 and 430 lumens models and a 150 lumens head torch.

CREE LEDs
A CREE LED is a microchip that emits a pure, bright white light. Because CREE LEDs are small and efficient, they outperform traditional torches, even those including traditional LEDs. They require less battery power than a standard torch and have an estimated lifespan of around 100,000 hours.
COB (Chip on Board)
COB is another new technology using multiple LED chips, combined together into one lighting module. When switched on, it looks like a panel of light rather than a single unit, and can produce a light 10 times more intense, without glare.
