English term
bolt streak
English to Spanish
Tech/Engineering
Electronics / Elect Eng
Hello everyone.
I am translating an advert for a vacuum cleaning robot and, among other technical specifications (such as 2 x side brushes, 2 x filters, 2 x polishing pads...), there is one that I don't understand and have no idea what it refers to, which is 1 x BOLT STREAK.
I'd really appreciate if you could help me on this matter, because I'm completely lost!
Thank you very much!

cepillo giratorio
"bolt streak" could refer to "cepillo giratorio", as this type of brush is more or less a bolt-shaped streak of bristles.

May it refer to a flashing light?
I have never seen a term like this in a translation of this kind. As I don't think this machine electrocutes people or pets, I guess "bolt streak" refers to some light flashing to the ground.
As you can see in the "belly" area of the cleaner, there is something similar to a camera flash. It may work as a flashing light just as an option to make this robot... cool (strange as it may seem) or to make sure no one steps on it by night.
¿Does it sound sensible?

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Pepe. That's what I was thinking too, so I finally decided to translate it as "1 x luz en la parte inferior" |
