Irene is named the first major Atlantic hurricane of the 2011 Season, threatening to hit the Southeastern region of the U.S. late this week and possibly becoming a category 3 hurricane by Thursday morning. Residents in the area are being advised by the authorities to stock up on preparedness items as emergency situations such as power outages are very likely to happen. The South-Florida based subsidiary of CHDT Corporation (OTCBB: CHDO), Capstone Industries, has for years now made available through its retail partners, a line of Multi-function LED Power Failure Lights that turn on automatically when electricity fails. This year, the Company again hopes to help consumers during possible natural disasters such as Irene by making the Eco-i-Lite products available through Hardware Stores, Office Supply Stores, Online Catalogs, Specialty Retailer Stores and Warehouse Clubs.
One of the collection's most remarkable features is its multi-functionality, allowing the products to be used for different purposes, which is helpful when power and other resources might be unavailable or scarce. The Eco-i-Lites sit in their own Induction Charging base that has no metal connectors. This way, they are charged and ready when an emergency occurs. They may also be removed effortlessly from their base to function as a handheld light that lasts up to 7 hours.
With LEDs that are always cool to the touch and over five times more efficient at one third of the energy cost of regular incandescent bulbs, Eco-i-Lite is not only a storm-preparedness necessity but also a money-saving alternative as the products never require batteries to be purchased or replaced. Therefore, the line fully complements the modern household, introducing bold designs to any room or workspace, while providing safety and security to the consumer.
The Company has received numerous letters, phone calls and e-mails from end users of the items, telling of how the lights have made their lives easier and safer. The Eco-i-Lite has even saved the life of one customer from the grips of a raging flood that left her stranded in the darkness as she was able to attract the attention of rescue teams with the Eco-i-Lite's flasher setting.
"Eco-i-Lites have become very popular throughout the country as storm-prep items," said Reid Goldstein, President of Capstone Industries. "Through the use of technology, we have offered peace of mind during emergency situations, when it often becomes challenging to complete even ordinary tasks such as finding your way out of a room," continued Goldstein. "Because of the upcoming storm, retailers currently carrying Eco-i-Lite in the threatened area, expect a significant sell-through in the next few days," he concluded.
