FAQ-PETL

PETL Lights last 3 to 6 days on a constant setting and 5 to 8 days on a flashing selection. US Army testing reported an average of 4.5 days to 9.5 days on a constant setting. The longevity depends on the color selection. Infrared last close to 48 hours constant and 72 hours on a flashing selection.

The PETL Lights have CR2 lithium metal batteries with a shelf life of 5 years. Once you replace the CR2 battery most of the shelf brands like Duracell or Energizer have shelf lives of 10 years. Following is an email from a customer related to this question. “What is the "normal" battery life?? Just curious on this one. I know that ours had to be at least 6 or 7 years old. They had been stored in a Pelican case outside in a trailer. So they were subject to very extreme temps during winter and summer of each year. And EVERY single one of them worked. That was amazing!!”

PETL Lights were originally designed to meet a 66 ft. depth requirement. Today they have been used successfully by divers around the world. One company tested the PETL Lights to a depth of 200 ft. for one minute.

This depends very much on environmental conditions. Third parties have reported from ¾ of a mile to a mile away.

The PETL Lights have been field tested by AFSOC personnel to a temperature of -20 degrees for an hour with no issues reported. The PETL Light enclosure is made of silicon so they perform in very low and very high temperature settings. One fireman personally reported having used the PETL Lights in close to 500 degree scenarios and it was still working. This gentleman brought the PETL Lights down to -109 degrees, then thawed the PETL Lights and they still continued to function. He also proceeded to drop them in boiling water and they still kept on functioning.
