I just found out last night that lighthound.com is down.
From the website:
LIGHTHOUND IS CLOSED
We would like to thank you for allowing us to serve you all these wonderful years.
Please note that all orders placed have shipped.
I was just about to place an order with them. Too bad they’re closed, I have the button light they included as a freebie in my pocket right now.
I also didn’t know that they were in Alvin, TX - fairly close to Houston.
That’s unexpected… just a few days ago they just announced the new PD35 TAC and the CL25R lantern on their facebook page… they also had very recent activities in their eBay store and out of the sudden there are 0 items?
I too have had excellent past experience with them and was shocked to see that they had closed. They just had a Christmas in July sale too. I really wonder what is behind the closure….
Taxes will do that. Got a friend that has a business. The taxman taxes everything in the building. Shelves, chairs everything. Too bad it’s an auto repair shop. He can’t go amazon on them.
I will miss Lighthound . I hope the owner, John Crighton , is well and wish him all the best. John was a member of CPF back when it had a very different vibe. Much of my shopping in this hobby was done at Lighthound, Battery Station, and Wayne Yamaguchi’s The Sandwich Shoppe.
