TripleLite for Safety
- , by Trudy Chuoke Trudy Chuoke
I lose power at my home at the most inconvenient times. Not that any time is really convenient, but at night is the worst. The other night, I was watching a scary movie, which, if you know me, you know how ridiculous that statement is. I never get to really watch all of a scary movie because half the time I have my eyes closed and, if necessary, my ears covered. But the other night was an exception. When the movie was over, I went to clean up the kitchen. All of a sudden, I heard a loud bang outside, and my whole house went black. I started giggling, because of how ridiculous the situation was, and my dog Max became glued right by my side. But luckily, I had my favorite flashlight in my kitchen junk drawer, and I pulled it out, turned it on and put an end to the blackout.
My favorite flashlight is TripleLite. The minute I saw them at the Do It Best Show, I was sold. TripleLite has a unique head on the front of the light. Instead of just a cylinder beam that most flashlights have, TripleLite is designed with an 180-degree curved beam. So, when you point TripleLite down at the ground to illuminate where you are walking, you don’t have to swing a flashlight back and forth to see; TripleLite lights the path 6 to 8 feet wide. Also, the light it projects is the whitest, brightest light I have seen from a flashlight.
I talked to the owners and inventors of TripleLite. And the story is really good. Ron Pritchett (inventor) was walking one night and swinging his flashlight back and forth as we all do, and he almost missed a step, tripping but luckily, he did not fall. When he got back home, he knew he could make a better flashlight, and he sure did.
TripleLite comes in several sizes and lumen. There is a small 50-lumen model that works great for the pocket or purse. It has a carabiner clip attached that is convenient. I attach it to the key strap in my purse. It has come in so handy when I come in late from a hardware or gift show. It helps me find exactly where the key slot is on my front door. They retail for 10.95 and come in 2 colors. If you are sending a graduate off to college, this would be a great gift to send them with to college. Then there is a 300-lumen light that fits comfortably in your hand. It has 2 power settings, high and strobe. This would be perfect for the car. It would fit perfectly in the glove box. It retails for 29.99. There is an 800-lumen light that is larger and would be good for a larger hand. It has 3 power settings: low, high, and strobe. It also has a wider beam for secure walks at night. It sells for 35.99. Then, what I have is the TripleLite 1000 lumen, which is USB rechargeable. All I have to do is plug it in a couple of times a month, and I have plenty of light for up to 8 hours. So, the night the lights went out, I put my TripleLite right on the island, handle-down, lights pointing up to the ceiling. It was like my electricity had been restored; it was that bright. Not only did it light up my kitchen, but my dining and den area. I cleaned my kitchen and packed my lunch for the next day.
I love products that are family owned. Meeting these owners and understanding their enthusiasm was the best part. On all their flashlight packaging, they added a bible verse. John 8:12... I am the Light of the world; whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life. These flashlights are great for security, emergencies, roadside assistance, and repair projects. They are all on the website. Remember: order 4 or more products and your shipping is FREE!!
When you read this article, it will almost be the 4th of July. I have such great memories of Lake McQueeney and this holiday. Fireworks over the water after being on the water and skiing all day long is the best way to spend the day. When I travel, and I love to travel. When I come home, I always feel that I am blessed to live in the greatest country. Have a Happy Fourth of July and make some new memories with the people you love.
