    Amazon.com Product Description

    The VPX1401 is powered by Black & Decker's convenient VPX Battery System.

    The integrated bungee cord fastens the light securely and holds the beam steady.

    The flashlight props up on three flat surfaces, so it stands or leans in exactly the position you require.
    Introducing the VPX Lithium-Ion Battery System
    Black & Decker's advanced, powerful VPX system guarantees the convenience of a rechargeable battery with maximum versatility. At the center of the VPX system is the 7-volt high-energy VPX rechargeable battery, which features breakthrough lithium-ion technology to generate more energy in a smaller package. The end result is a battery that's super-compact and 60-percent lighter than Black & Decker's Ni-Cad power tool batteries. And the VPX holds a charge longer, too -- so it's ready to work whenever you are.

    With its versatile design and Black & Decker exclusive technology, a VPX battery is interchangeable with all the products in Black & Decker's growing VPX line. Swap out one battery for the flashlight, inflator, screwdriver, USB power source, cut saw, or 7-volt drill driver; or double the juice with two batteries to operate the 14-volt drill driver or the hand vac. And of course, every VXP battery and compatible product features the rugged, dependable construction you expect from an industry leader in home power tools.

    About the New VPX Flashlight
    The 3-LED VPX flashlight from Black & Decker positions light where you need it most. This durable device is just one more great offering from the revolutionary new VPX interchangeable lithium-ion battery system. Once you get started with the VPX system, it's easy to expand with other power tools, household devices, and electronic products like this one.

    The VPX1401 flashlight is designed to fit right in the palm of your hand, and it features a super-bright LED beam for plenty of illumination wherever you want it. The flashlight's pivoting head adjusts so you can direct the light in any direction, and its integrated flat surfaces let you rest the light in three different positions. An adjustable bungee cord can be used to twist the light securely around 2-by-4 beams, pipes or tree branches; or use the belt clip to keep the flashlight close and steady while you walk. The VPX1401 is powered by a single 7-volt VPX battery that is interchangeable with all the other VPX products in Black & Decker's inventory.

    This flashlight is a VPX expansion product with the VPX battery and charger sold separately.

    Key Technical Specs:

    • Powered by one 7-volt VPX battery (not included)
    • 3 LED bulbs
    • Up to 5 hours of run-time on 1 battery charge

    Applications
    Use the VPX1401 LED flashlight whenever you need a little extra light to help finish the job. The adjustable bungee cord makes the light super-versatile for auto work, duct work, plumbing, or any other kind of repair or installation that might occur in a darkened space.

    Warranty
    This VPX product is covered by a two-year warranty from Black & Decker.

    5 out of 5 stars longest lasting flashlight I have had.   November 18, 2009
    Thomas R. Reno (Alabama,USA)
    Even though B&D discontiued this line I think it was the longest lasting flashlight I have known? I have 2 and even when a friend leaves them on as usuall they are still bright! I wished I had more.


    5 out of 5 stars Love the Product - Hate Black and Decker   June 27, 2009
    William R. Mann (Scottsbluff, NE USA)
    I am very impressed with the features of the VPX Series of tools but not happy to find out that Black and Decker has discontinued this entire line.


    5 out of 5 stars Nice LED Flashlight   February 5, 2009
    CharleK
    I love the VPX tools - The batteries last a long time and the tools do the job for light duty work.


    2 out of 5 stars Not very bright   January 5, 2009
    T. Do (Los Angeles, Ca - USA)
    The light is not very bright, I have an LED mag light (2 D cell) and several other LED flashlights and this one by far is the weakest. If you get it on the cheap then I guess it may be worth it. Some light is still better than no light at all but don't expect to see any further than a foot and a half away or so with this thing.


    4 out of 5 stars A nice addition to the VPX lineup   February 7, 2008

    This is a flashlight, a three LED flashlight that has a jointed head so it can be turned in different directions It uses VPX batteries. VPX is black and decker's new system that uses the same lithium ion batteries for several devices including this one. You don't get a battery or a charger with this item, it's assumed you already own other vpx powered gadgets and have batteries and chargers from those items. The drill is worth buying, they also have two versions of a light duty drill/screwdriver, a saw, an inflator, and a USB or AC inverter for charging small devices like an ipod or a cell phone. I have many of the gadgets, they are very handy and the lithium ion batteries have good life. Someone was thoughtful when they setup the chargers they can be daisy chained together so they use only a single plug. I like this system and I've used my devices quite a bit, the local home depot was clearing these out because it was a christmas item and I got a good deal on all the pieces. This item does what it claims but it's not worth 19 bucks.
