What is an LED and why is it ideal for our Marshalling Wands?

"LED" stands for "Light Emitting Diode". Enormously improved since their development in the 1960's, current LED's have surpassed the efficiency of incandescent light bulbs. Combined with their rugged, unbreakable construction and long life of over 100,000 hours (over 11 years of continuous use) they make the ideal light source for our high tech marshalling wands.

Why do the wands last so long on a single set of batteries?

Our marshalling wands are designed with a battery management electronic control system.  Each marshalling wand is equipped with a "Battery Management Electronic Control Unit" (BMECU).  The BMECU controls the voltage and amperage of the Light Emitting Diode (LED) circuitry, making our marshalling wands more "intelligent".  Now any ordinary 'AA' can power the wands.  Expensive Lithium batteries are no longer needed to power LED's as in the more expensive LED flashlights.  We recommend that simple 'AA' alkaline batteries are used.

Alkaline versus Lithium batteries

Many LED flashlights utilize a Lithium battery to drive the LED. Although these flashlights are typically quite small, the downside is the high cost of battery replacement. Some lithium flashlights require special tools to remove the battery. Also, finding a replacement battery can be a challenge.

Our marshalling wands are designed to work with an ordinary 'AA' battery. Replacement costs are about 1/10 the cost of Lithium's. In addition, battery replacement is very easy, requires no tools and the batteries can be purchased almost anywhere.

We recommend that simple 'AA' alkaline batteries are used in our wands for best performance.
