When the company designed its newest flashlight, an ergonomic style was added to the list of requirements. The company's industrial flashlight now fits the hand comfortably and comes in two styles.

After testing several materials for the its industrial flashlight lens, the company chose Eastman Chemical Co.'s (Kingsport, TN) Eastalloy polymer DA003. Jim Neyer, program manager for lights, said, "We must test the resins we select very carefully. There are four criteria we measure our materials against resistance to heat, chemicals, scratching and impact. In addition, the resin for lenses must be clear."
