Leading LED Manufacturer Lights the Way for Reconnaissance Pilots in Iraq. TerraLUX, Inc. Supplies US Army Pilots with World’s Brightest LEDs

BOULDER, CO. – TerraLUX, Inc, the world’s largest manufacturer of LED upgrades for the Maglite® flashlights pitches in to help reconnaissance pilots flying missions in Iraq. Said President and founder Tony Catalano, “when we heard just how useful TerraLUX LED Light Engines® have been for the pilots, we responded to their request to purchase our products by shipping 30 MiniStar2s, a tactical LED upgrade for the Mini Maglite, to every RC-12 pilot in the unit at no charge.”

US Army Pilot Rodney Pais had emailed TerraLUX as follows:

“I am a reconnaissance pilot flying here in Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. My unit, the 1st Military Intelligence Battalion flies combat sorties nearly every night here in the desert. This is what brings me to write this email.

I want to thank you for making an outstanding product. One of the pilots in my unit introduced me to the TLE-5 LED upgrade kit, along with the tail cap for Mini Maglites that you make. Incredible product!!! We fly 90% of our missions during the hours of darkness, and your flashlight enhancements have contributed directly to an increase in our performance and awareness while conducting pre-flight duties, performing tasks in the cockpit while in flight, and all the way through the post flight inspections we complete when the mission is accomplished. “

In addition to professional and consumer products, TerraLUX manufactures a wide variety of medical and industrial products that replace incandescent lighting with LED Light Engines for surgical and safety applications. The TerraLUX LED Light Engines are unique because of the combination of the world’s brightest LEDs plus the proprietary PowerPush™ regulation circuit, that gives unrivaled brightness and run time from the batteries
