limited production :: hand crafted :: high performance :: rechargeable :: premium flashlights

This is my blog about creating a startup LED flashlight business. I'm a designer, fabricator, and strategist and I'm passionate about making ideas real. I believe that products are about people, that they should be built to last, deliver real value, and that we need to do a better job than we have in the recent past.

Most of my career has been contract or freelance work and I've crafted products and strategies for both big international companies and startups. I also used to work in the "industry" fabricating special effects for film and TV, along with the occasional hot rod. Bottom line, I love making things.

I'm starting this blog so you can follow along, from day one, and see what it's like to start a business, or fail in the process. Only time will tell, but I hope you find this interesting enough to stay tuned, comment, link, like, tweet, and (most importantly) participate in turning this idea into something tangible and valuable.

For a good place to get started with general info about who, what, why, etc., check out the "Stickies" on the left side of the page. Thanks for stopping by and please don't hesitate to ask questions and get involved!

Special offer on eye protection from ESS

Hi all,

So Burnley SlingPop production is nearly finished and we are about to begin shipping! Related to that, our friends at ESS have allowed me to extend the 10% discount on their "Crossbow Ballistic Eyeshield" to the Prometheus Lights audience as well!

Here at Prometheus safety is a top priority and I only trust my eyes to ESS, both in the shop and at the range. The Crossbow represents the absolute best in no-compromise eye protection available today. I've been using their glasses for years and reached out to them during the Burnley Kickstarter campaign about supplying some glasses...they said yes :)

PRE ORDER NOW! Just follow this link to pre-order now at the 10% discounted price. This offer closes soon, so don't wait.

The Crossbow features extra thick ballistic-grade lenses which can be easily replaced if they become damaged or if you want to swap out for another color. They also come with an optional low-profile strap that attaches to the small holes at the tip of the bow. Check out the ESS website if you would like more information. 

If you missed the Kickstarter campaign you can still pre-order a SlingPop through the link above...and you can check out the original Kicstarter campaign/video if you are interested. The design is by Burnley Knives, project management by Scout Leather Co., and CNC machining by yours truly.

If you follow the pre-order link you can also pick up one (or more) of my Photon Lanyard Beads for $35 each ($10 off the retail price) and choose from 3 anodized colors that are exclusively available for this campaign (and happen to match the SlingPop colors :) Type II Clear and Violet or Type III Black. You can pre-order through the link above, but you can get more info on the Photon Beads on my own website via this link.

ESS "clear" lens Crossbow Eyeshield ("smoke" tinted lens also available)
Clear anodize Burnley SlingPop (Black and Violet also available)
Photon Lanyard Bead in "Clear" anodize (Black and Violet also available)
