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.

My Ti Pocket Clip Wins an Award!
------------------------------------------------
Best Accessory: Prometheus Pocket Clip
"The best accessories make the main product better than it was before, but the truly elite gear is something that seems like it should have been included in the first place. The Prometheus Pocket Clip is the best flashlight clip on the planet, bar none.
It is better than my old favorite, the McGizmo clip, because it is just as secure and can be added and removed from a light without tools. It is simply, unquestionably the best design out there. Its so good that absent a few tritium inserts I can't think of a way to make it better. The titantium is very flexible and smooth cut with a perfect amount of tension. Let me put it bluntly: if you own a light compatible with this clip buy it. " -- Everyday Commentary

Customer Review: "The Coach" on his brushed MC18-B
Dark Sucks MC18-B
So, here is what I found in my mailbox this morning. This is my new Style 3 MC18-B from Dark Sucks (I'm SO glad Jason didn't laser etch that on the side of this light). It has three speeds, kind of bright, bright and VERY BRIGHT.
