Patlite XP Signal Light vs. Rudolph

Illumination – Patlite XP Series lights can project up to 1,000m. Rudolph’s nose is based on 1939 technology. His nose projects up to 50m, and only after a good night’s rest and on a full belly. 

Weather – the Patlite XP Series is made from a light weight translucent AS resin. It can withstand heat, cold and water (rain/snow). We all know as you get older your body has a tough time handling weather changes. From the scorching desert to the snow packed tundra, Rudolph’s body begins to show wear and tear.

Impact Resistant – The Patlite XP Series AS resin body can withstand impact. With all of the airplanes, satellites, and meteorites in the atmosphere, Rudolph is at high risk of being pummeled. 

Color – the Patlite XP Series is available in Red, Amber or Blue. Rudolph is limited to Red. Depending on the circumstances an Amber or blue light may be more appropriate. When Santa is coming in for a difficult landing, Amber may be the way to go. Blue could be used as a special signal for the Elves. By implementing a color signal, Santa may make his route much more efficient.

These are just the opinions of a Mother, but I know I want to make sure Santa is able to complete his job in a timely and accurate manner. My boys would be devastated if Santa were not able to make it to our house. Do we want to continue to depend on Rudolph (old technology), or is it time to upgrade to the dependable, bright light of the Patlite XP Signal Light?
