I seriously doubt you do enough business to threaten Maglite. No offense. Your lights target a totally different market than Maglite does, and there are many higher-volume flashlight makers that Maglite could go after if they wanted to.
Personally I'd much rather have an aspheric "zoomie" rather than a reflector "zoomie"; All the Maglites I've ever seen have horrible donut-holes when the reflector is adjusted, whereas I don't particularly care if the edges of the beam look like an outline of the emitter as long as the brightness is consistent in the middle. And given how incredibly bright LEDs are nowadays, I'd be willing to write-off a significant portion of their output in exchange for adjustable focus, because the end product would still be more than bright enough for any task a single-cell pocket flashlight is suited for. Keep in mind I still carry a Jetbeam TC-R2 XP-G S2 from 2011 and I rarely wish for more brightness than it offers.
