NightStar Technical Specs

Applicable to all NightStars, except as noted

  • Polycarbonate, waterproof housing - Tough enough to take extreme/repeated impacts
  • Bright white LED - rated for 100,000 hours of operation drawing up to 5.4 Volts (NightStar CS series rated for 50,000 hours).
  • Charging magnet - core strength of 30 million Gauss with a surface strength of 5200 Gauss (NightStar CS is smaller - contact us for exact figures).
  • Wire Coil - coil that the magnet passed through to generate electricity
  • 1 Farad 5.5 Volt capacitor - holds the charge generated by passing the magnet through the coil
  • Glow-in-the-dark switchs - allows the NightStar to be turned on and off without penetrating the waterproof housing
  • Plastic lens - focuses and concentrates the light from the LED
