Well, really the rumors of my untimely death...I mean retirement are greatly exaggerated. I have had to take off most all of this year to handle other matters but I have still been working on projects. Just slowly. Keep in mind I am back to a one man show after having lost my sister as a master builder. Can't tell you how lonely it is in the shop now without her. Anyways I am delighted to let you know that I am back with a little more gusto and will be trying to work through a backlog of emails and launching some new products very very soon. Thanks all for your patience.

There are two lights that will release soon. A follow-on product to the DEFT-edc that will majorly up the game in small light throw. Think baby DEFT-X here. The other will be a twin brother to the DEFT-X but without all the brightwork and a cheaper price. There will also be one more surprise that I am going to try and squeeze in before the holidays but I can't promise anything at this point.

I'm not sure we've ever met and I've never purchased - to say nothing of seen - one of your lights, but I'm glad to hear that a Metromess local is going active again. Would love to meet up some day - perhaps there will be another DFW get-together someday.
