Kingston, Mass. – August 18, 2008-Brite-Strike Tactical Illumination Products, Inc. (OTC: BSTI.PK), a leader in the design of advanced, high-intensity LED (light-emitting diode) tactical flashlights and personal protection systems for the military, law enforcement and consumer markets, announced today that BJ’s Wholesale Club is selling the company’s highly popular seven-piece personal protection system, Lightning Strike™, at 28 membership warehouse clubs in 16 eastern United States and online at www.bjs.com
With the kids heading back to school the patented Lightning Strike™ Personal Protection System is a must have item for personal safety. The flashlight thwarts potential attackers with a combination of high-intensity flashing strobe lighting and an audible alarm, specifically designed for women, seniors, students and other private citizens seeking an easy-to-deploy personal protection system.
The system comes equipped with the only tactical flashlight specifically designed as a personal safety product for women, as well as a personal alarm, the "Attacker-Blaster," that emits a 110-130 decibel shrieking alarm when activated and cost $79.99. It is designed as not just a product, but an overall personal protection program for women to utilize on college campuses, while jogging or walking, or even just strolling to their car in a dark parking lot.
“BJ’s has strong locations in attractive markets,” said Glenn Bushee, president and founder of Brite-Strike Technologies. “BJ’s has built a loyal customer base by identifying premium products to meet their customers’ needs, and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship.”
Designed by police officers, the company’s high-performance flashlights use cutting-edge Philips Lumileds Luxeon ® technology to produce 198 lumens of ultra-bright light that can disorient and temporarily impair the vision of an attacker. Plus, all models are equipped with a defensive crown on the front and rear of the light for maximum impact should it be needed as a weapon.
Brite-Strike’s Tactical Blue-Dot™ Series is currently used by various government agencies, the military, SWAT teams and other law enforcement officials. Its patented Lightning Strike™ Personal Protection System thwarts potential attackers with a combination of a high-intensity flashing strobe light and a super loud ear piercing personal alarm, specifically designed for women, seniors, students and other private citizens seeking an easy-to-deploy personal protection system.
Previously, Brite-Strike’s line of protection products had only been available by word-of-mouth, the company’s website, or several high-end catalogs, including Frontgate and Herrington. Recently, however, retail giants such as BJ’S Wholesale Clubs, Amazon.com, and Lowes.com have agreed to join the growing number of retail channels carrying Brite-Strike.
