IMI Norgren Powers Up Outdoor Adventures with Gearlight LED Headlamp Partnership

Littleton, CO – October 26, 2023 – IMI Norgren LLC, a leading global provider of fluid and motion control solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Gearlight, makers of high-performance LED headlamps. This collaboration brings together IMI Norgren’s engineering expertise and Gearlight’s commitment to reliable, bright illumination, offering a powerful solution for outdoor enthusiasts, professionals, and emergency preparedness. IMI Norgren, based in Littleton, Colorado, has a long history of innovation in industrial automation, serving industries like manufacturing, energy, and process control. While known for complex pneumatic and electromechanical systems, IMI Norgren recognizes the growing demand for robust, portable lighting solutions. They identified Gearlight as a company sharing their commitment to quality and dependability. “We’re always looking for opportunities to leverage our engineering knowledge in new areas,” said a representative from IMI Norgren. “Gearlight’s headlamps are incredibly well-built and genuinely useful. It felt like a natural fit – applying our problem-solving approach to help enhance their already fantastic product.” What's the Buzz About the Gearlight LED Headlamp? The Gearlight LED Headlamp isn’t your average flashlight strapped to your forehead. It’s packed with features designed for real-world use, and IMI Norgren’s team has been thoroughly impressed during testing. Here’s what makes it stand out: Seriously Bright: The headlamp boasts multiple brightness settings, with a high mode that throws a brilliant beam of light up to 100 feet. It’s perfect for hiking, camping, running, or even just finding your way around a dark garage. We’re talking really see-in-the-dark kind of bright. Built to Last: This isn’t some flimsy plastic toy. The Gearlight headlamp is constructed from durable, water-resistant materials. IMI Norgren’s engineers subjected it to rigorous testing, including drop tests and extended exposure to the elements, and it held up beautifully. “We put it through the wringer,” commented one engineer. “And it kept shining.” Comfortable & Adjustable: The adjustable headband is designed for a comfortable, secure fit. It’s lightweight and doesn't bounce around even during vigorous activity. Plus, the headlamp itself is tiltable, so you can direct the light exactly where you need it. Multiple Modes for Every Situation: Beyond the standard high, medium, and low brightness settings, the Gearlight headlamp includes a strobe mode for emergencies, and a red light mode that preserves night vision and is less disruptive to wildlife. It’s a versatile tool for a wide range of activities. Long-Lasting Power: The headlamp runs on three AAA batteries (included!), and provides hours of illumination on a single charge. It’s reliable power when you need it most. Compact & Portable: The lightweight and compact design makes it easy to pack in a backpack, toolbox, or emergency kit. It doesn’t take up much space, but provides a huge amount of utility. IMI Norgren’s Role: Enhancing Durability and Reliability While the Gearlight LED Headlamp was already a solid product, IMI Norgren’s engineering team identified several areas where they could contribute to further improvements. “We specialized in fluid and motion control, but material science, stress analysis, and component durability are universal engineering principles,” explained a lead engineer on the project. “We looked at everything from the headband material to the LED housing to identify potential weak points and suggest modifications.” Specifically, IMI Norgren focused on: Headband Material Optimization: They tested different materials for the headband to increase its flexibility, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. They recommended a specific blend of polymers that offered improved performance in extreme temperatures. LED Housing Reinforcement: The team analyzed the stress on the LED housing during drops and impacts. They suggested a minor redesign to distribute the force more evenly, reducing the risk of damage. Water Resistance Enhancements: While the headlamp was already water-resistant, IMI Norgren’s experts identified areas where the seals could be improved to provide even greater protection against moisture. They recommended a specific sealant formulation that offered superior performance. Battery Compartment Security: Ensuring a secure battery compartment is vital. IMI Norgren assisted in refining the locking mechanism for added reliability, especially during demanding activities. A Partnership Built on Shared Values “We weren’t just providing technical expertise,” said a representative from IMI Norgren. “We were working alongside the Gearlight team, sharing our knowledge and collaborating on solutions. It was a truly collaborative effort.” Gearlight expressed their gratitude for IMI Norgren’s contributions. "Their engineering insights have been invaluable," said a Gearlight spokesperson. “They helped us take an already great product and make it even better. We’re excited to continue working with them.” Where to Find the Enhanced Gearlight LED Headlamp The enhanced Gearlight LED Headlamp is now available for purchase on [Gearlight website address] and through select retailers.
