\"Brinkmann\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before I get into the industry standard terms that each Brinkmann<\/a> light is based off of, I wanted to go into a quick overview of Brinkmann as a company.<\/p>\n

Brinkmann was established in 1974 and it is owned and operated today by J. Baxter Brinkmann. Brinkmann prides themselves on offering high quality products at a great value to all of their customers. The Brinkmann Corporation is also a leading member of the Flashlight Standards Committee (FSC) within the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This institute, helps it’s members strengthen the U.S. marketplace position in the global economy, all while helping to assure the safety and health of consumers and the protection of the environment. These extra steps and costs they incur help highlight\u00a0 the ethics and values instilled in the organization since the day it opened in 1974.<\/p>\n

Brinkmann employs designers and engineers in Hong Kong and the USA, and all of Brinkmann’s lights and parts are manufactured within these countries. Lots of time and energy goes into testing each and every product. This is shown with the state-of-the-art facility Brinkmann uses to test the industry standard (ANSI\/NEMA FL1) on all of their lights. Some of the equipment used to test these lights includes a Spectroradiometer, Photometer, Colorimeter and you can find a picture of an example testing facility below!<\/p>\n
