Closing Down!

Ok I’m shutting up shop, It’s been a pleasure over the past 5 years!

It started out as a forum thread and evolved into a website selling multi-nationally! Some countries I’ve sent to even the post office had to look up!

It was always just a small business/hobby to make some extra pocket money, but due to other commitments I just don’t have the time to work on the site anymore.

There will be no closing down sale as I will keep the parts and still be doing builds for people if requested. I’ll still be experimenting and building in my spare time, so may still post/sell on my instagram account.

I’ll keep it Short and sweet. But thanks everyone who has placed an order/s with me, I’ve enjoyed it!

My email / PM will still be active so if you need builds or parts then I’ll still be about.

Lights out!

Closing Down?

Orly.

oki… :blush:

happy trails!

Sorry to hear that. Expanding a bussines/hobby can be very involving, and at some point you realise that you are not a Chinese acrobat (so to speak). It takes (too) much effort to keep all those plates spinning and the moment comes you will have to make a choice. You have made that choice. So: don’t look back, you’ll miss what’s in front of you.

Sorry to hear that, bought off you a few times over the last year. Good luck for the future though.

It is a pity for the flashlight community to loose such a nice source, but good luck in your other commitments.
See you around on BLF hopefully!

Sad to hear that mate :frowning: but good luck in whatever else you do - though I doubt you’ll need it being such a genuine guy. :+1: :beer: All the best!

I have never heard that before - but what a good way of looking at things, I’ll take that onboard myself :slight_smile: Thanks!

All the best for the future. Also thanks for the past and future contributions. you have certainly bought a lot to the table. :slight_smile:

Best Wishes :+1:

Best of Luck in your future endeavors!!! :+1:

Stay Gold!!! :wink:

Yeah +1

Hope you continue with that wicked powder coating!

Yeah, i never got round to pursue a powder coated screaming yellow host, but hope to see you around here in the future.

Ah, sorry to see you go. Never did get around to ordering a silver chrome light from ya. Good luck on your future endeavors!

Sorry to hear you are shutting down. Good luck on what ever is next.

I’m really liking my yellow S2+. Thank you!

Thanks everyone! I’ve tried my hardest to give the best customer service possible, no machines, no receptionists/secretaries. Every question/problem/query has been handled by me, faulty items were replaced free of charge and torches under warranty were fixed within a few days, unlike some manafacturers where you wait months.

I’ve tried to treat you guys the way I wanted to be treated by other companies.

I’m still around and my Email is still active.

The website closing just means I won’t be keeping stock on hand. If you want a light I’ll have to order it in, then mod, then send out. So there will be a longer wait.

I won’t be doing many “small parts” orders. As some days it was costing me more for packaging and the post office trip than the order was worth.

Anyone needs anything let me know! Just through email not on the website!

Nitches like this are the hardest to make a go of, especially for good people that care about the customer and products they deliver. I hope you can find an alternative model that allows you the keep doing what you enjoy.

I hear ya. So much work involved that its becoming a job rather than a hobby. Hope you will do well with whatever you come up with next.

Thanks guys,

I’ve only stopped because I’m going to be so busy

It was never supposed to start little and take off, it was always a hobby, I’ve always had other plans for the future

I was already working a full time job around doing this, but now I’ve got a new job which will take up much more time.

Hence the reason I’m not completely shutting down and will still do requested builds if I have the time!

nice just going for the really nice projects, leaving the administration, stock inventaory, making shipments of small parts behind, smart!
