When a major metropolitan transit authority requested a special longer-running version of the powerful, remarkably lightweight rechargeable lantern that’s taken the fire service by storm, Bright Star delivered a new LightHawk—with applications that go far beyond transit.

The request: A bright, tough, totally reliable, rechargeable Xenon lantern that would run for a full shift on a single charge...with a bulb that simply won’t burn out.

The result: The Lighthawk 8-cell Utility Lantern—The lightest, longest running, most advanced Transit, Utility, SAR and Sportsman’s lantern available today. With its longer-lasting, 8-cell Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery, the Lighthawk Utility provides a dust-and-smoke-piercing 95 lumen beam of light for at least 10 hours on a single charge. Its dual filament Xenon bulb provides instant back-up lighting with the flick of a switch—there's no need to chnage bulbs in the field. Surprisingly bright non-flashing red LED locator lights make the lantern, or its operator easy to find without compromising critical night vision. The Lighthawk Utility Lantern uses the same proven, super-tough waterproof nylon case with an articulating light head, so it can be stored and charged in any Lighthawk AC or DC charger base.

Like the Lighthawk Fire Lantern, this long-burning lightweight powerhouse was born from over 75 years of flashlight research, testing, and development; combined with thorough analysis of existing technology and industry needs. The Lighthawk redefined what firefighters should expect from a lantern. This special model does the same for transit workers, utility workers, Search and Rescue, hunters, fishermen, campers, or anyone who needs a versatile, lightweight lantern with extra long runtime and unquestionable reliability.

Only 2.3 lbs. The Lighthawk is less than 1/3 the weight of its closest competition. You’ll be amazed at just how light this lantern really is. Front and rear attachment rings let you connect the light to its included quick-release shoulder strap, or any carabineer, snap-hook, retractable gear-keeper or lanyard. No matter how you choose to carry it—or how long—this is one lantern you’ll always be glad to have.

10 full hours of 95-lumen light…with a 60-minute warning. The 8-cell version of the Lighthawk rechargeable lantern not only offers the right level of brightness for its application, Bright Star's high-quality reflector ensures superlative throw and smoke-piercing ability. The Lithium-Ion battery technology provides an exceptionally long run time, and its microprocessor controlled power regulation system ensures you get a full power beam right to the end. And because the light level doesn’t fall off significantly until the batteries are almost exhausted, the Lighthawk gives you plenty of warning. Its exclusive Battery Status Indicator will flash to let you know when you have 60 minutes of power remaining.
