Compact, lightweight and bright. The Adalit L90 has arrived.

Adaro, the creators of the Adalit range of torches, have a proud history of innovation, spanning more than 100 years. They have achieved notoriety by combining the most advanced technology with cutting-edge design to create lighting solutions that cater to highly specialised situations – like the fire-ground.

Adalit L90 Right Angle Torch from Adaro

The concept for the L90 was originally tabled over 2 years ago, after feedback on the L3000 revealed fondness for Adaro’s LEDEngine Optics and Step Lighting System but a preference toward a smaller unit that would be compatible with the pockets on modern turnout gear. After consultation with firefighters, Adaro set about designing a compact, right angled body that would encapsulate the brightness and features of the L3000 while achieving an ATEX intrinsically safe certification, ensuring the torch was safe to use in hazardous environments found in underground mining and structural fire.

From this development and design process, the Adalit L90 was born. The L90 is light, small, bright and easy to operate right angle torch. It incorporates Adaro’s famous LEDEngine Optics and Step Lighting System, highlighted early in the development process as ‘must have’ features. Adaro’s iconic, yellow thermoplastic resin body is anti-static, chemical resistant and tough – standing up to serious impacts. Aspiring to appeal to a wide range of firefighter preferences, L90 and L90 Power are available using replaceable AA Alkaline batteries or a rechargeable 3.7v Li-ion cell.

Adalit L90 Power Right Angle Torch from Adaro

Released earlier in 2022, the Adalit L90 has been received with excitement and acclaim having already being put to work in fire services within the United Kingdom, France, Thailand and Taiwan.

The Pac Fire 2021-22 Catalogue has gone digital

2021 hasn’t been what we’d call a ‘typical year’. Pac Fire’s catalogue is traditionally released at the annual AFAC conference. Due to the cancellation of AFAC21 (…and many other, important events in our calendar), Pac Fire’s updated catalogue never made it to the printer.

In a year where it seems everything has been cancelled – we’ve decided not to cancel the release of the 2021-22 catalogue, and rather release it digitally via our website.

This edition of the catalogue features great new releases like the Pacific F16 Multi-Level Helmet, MSA Bristol EOS structural fire ensemble and the ‘Evo’ wildland fire ensemble. But that’s not all…. Check out all of the recent releases in this years digital catalogue.

Never fear all your hard copy lovers! The catalogue will be back in all it’s printed glory in August 2022.

Download the updated digital catalogue here and remember it’s been designed to work in conjunction with the website and our new YouTube channel.
