The rechargeable LED flashlight featuring high CRI light with Streamlight’s Color-Rite Technology for true color recognition was recognized during the magazine’s recent awards ceremony at AAPEX (Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo) in Las Vegas.
The flashlight uses a High Color Rendering Index (90 CRI) LED for enhanced visualization under low-light conditions, allowing users to see the color spectrum as they would in natural light. Its softer, warmer beam can help automotive technicians spot subtle details in color matching and paint repairs and differentiate colored electrical wires in hard-to-see areas under a vehicle hood or chassis.
Established in 1999, the Innovation Awards recognize the most innovative automotive tools and equipment and honor those companies that help technicians excel at their jobs. This year, more than 100 products were submitted for consideration across 25 categories and were rated by judges on their ability to make diagnoses and repairs easier and more efficient, as well as increase shop productivity.
“Streamlight is very proud to be honored with this award,” said Streamlight Chief Revenue Officer Michael F. Dineen. “As a company we have always taken pride in designing and manufacturing lighting products that make our customers’ jobs easier, improve their productivity and help to keep them safe while on the job. With more than 50 years of operation, the company’s focus remains on designing products that solve the lighting needs of automotive and other professionals, while leveraging the latest technological advances to produce ever brighter, more useful lighting tools.”
