· 9430: The 9430 RALS is a completely portable, high-performance light that can be trusted to illuminate work or rescue areas in all weather conditions. Weigh is only 22 pounds, its 360-degree swivel mast telescopes to nearly three feet, throwing the light’s 2,000 lumens over a wide area. The maintenance-free LED array is powered by a 15-hour rechargeable battery. Available from Canyonwest Cases immediately for $546.00, MSRP is $800.00.

· 9450B: Built for mobility, the 9450B RALS is a rapid-deploying emergency area light, self-contained inside a tough-as-nails Pelican 1510 Case featuring a pull handle and polyurethane wheels. Assembling in minutes, the 9450B RALS features a multi-angle telescoping light tower that can reach up to eight feet in the air. Its detachable bank of sixteen 1-watt LEDs can generate up to 1280 lumens of clean, brilliant light. Featuring a removable diffuser filter, the 9450B RALS gives off enough light to cover an entire emergency scene. By removing the diffuser, it becomes a high-powered spot beam, perfect for piercing darkness hundreds of yards away. The 9450B RALS is powered by a 17-hour rechargeable battery that offers up to 9 hours of peak light. Available from Canyonwest Cases immediately for $853.00, MSRP is $1,249.00.

The system’s combined 48 LEDs and dual power modes (with 2 water-proof switches) combine to radiate 4,000 lumens in high and 2,000 in low. Powered by a rechargeable battery, the system offers up to 7 hours of peak brightness or 14 hours in low power mode. Built self-contained in a tough-as-nails 1510 Carry-On Case, the 9460 is engineered to take as little space as possible and provide easy ground transport with a pull handle and polyurethane wheels. Available from Canyonwest Cases immediately for $1,229.00, MSRP is $1,800.00.
