Technology Associates Announces Licensing Deal
Technology Associates Inc. Press Release
FlashlightNews.org - 05/10/2006
RENO, Nv. - Technology Associates has licensed some of our technology to a partner in China. This partner produces wind-up generator LED flashlights. The license allows for a product which combines their generator flashlights with the Derringer. The new hybrid is called GeneRay.
GeneRay X1 with EternaLight Technology
We will be selling the GeneRay model X1 on our website here shortly. The GeneRay carries a one year warranty. Like the Derringer, it has two white and one red LED as well as all of the Derringer's functions. Besides the added functionality to the light, the power saving features of EternaLights lend themselves well to this combination because you can get a much longer run-time with less winding.
Products which look very similar to the GeneRay are already on the market and some make remarkable claims like "One minute of wind-up provides up to 1 hour of continuous ultra bright light." Our tests showed this unit was only producing 50% of it's light output after only about 8 minutes and less than 20% of it's output in about 13 minutes! A gross exaggeration.
For the GeneRay, we conservatively claim "Crank 30 seconds for over 30 minutes of light!" And, at the end of 30 minutes, we are still producing over 30%. Both tests were conducted with the same winding velocities for the same period on the lowest power settings of both lights. Both units were fully discharged before charging. Both units require the same mechanical energies for charging. So, GeneRay, like EternaLight products, under promises and over delivers. The X1 is also capable of using its generator to charge many cell phones in a pinch. We're excited to be introducing this product. We expect many more exciting products as we merge our technologies.
