...KICKSTARTER...???

RacingHart, we are happy you are here. Being that you are new to the forum I will assist you a bit. You are obviously a very smart man. As you may know there are plenty of scams out there on the forums of any hobby I won’t even get into Kickstarter. From manufactures, modders, to customer builders everyone has to be cautious who they do business with. On this forum, we take pride in our in-depth discussions of flashlights. Many of us are also on guard with it comes to the newest, hyped product.

Not to mention, this is BUDGET Light Forum. After reading on your light, I personally don’t see anything Budget about it. Unless you can prove other wise. I am only speaking about the price, not value. In no way am I saying it isn’t worth it. I am only saying it doesn’t fit my idea of budget. I am sure many other members here would echo my sentiments.

If you were lurking for some time and never explained your position and were offended by what you read, then that you can take credit for. I could never find a introduction from you. Also, you seemed offended by our assumptions. Yet you waited to provide information? Then you had a snappy reply. In my opinion, from a PR stand point, it just doesn’t bode well out the gate.

So, how to improve this going forward and win our love and support? I would start by doing a nice formal introduction. If you already have, link it here on this thread. Please don’t link us to some non personal junk you have already posted elsewhere. We have already read your linkedin. :slight_smile: I would next send out some samples for members here to review. DenBarrettSAR has already offered to do such a review. That is very considerate of him to offer to donate his time, skills and knowledge on your behalf. I would be very thankful. If you have already sent some members here a light and they have done a review. Please link it here. Personally, I don’t want a link to a different forum.

Next I would start a discussion thread on this forum and monitor it closely. As you know, communication & perception is key. You will likely get some great feedback that will only help improve your products and services. Unless I missed it, you have yet speak a word about how you plan to warranty the product, handle customer complaints, and generally care for the customer. I would say that in the price range you are in, there is some tough competition. You can hang your hat on the built in charger, and cutting edge tech but if there is no product support, I don’t see a long product life.
If you don’t have the time to do all this, find someone who does.

Finally, be open for negative opinions. Not all lights,no matter how good, fit all people. You got kinda snappy earlier. I fully understand that. But your tone seemed as though you were talking down to us due to us not being informed about your product. To me, and maybe others, that is a major turn off. Perhaps instead of lurking you should have been typing. “)

I wish you the best of luck. I think it has potential. So far just reading on your light: I like the ability to store stuff in the end and still use the light. I don’t like not having ultra low mode (below 5 lumen). Then there is the whole price thing. But, I am sure you are going to offer us a 50% discount code though? :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

BTW, you and your products are mentioned in several threads here I found with out searching.

Hope to hear from you soon. Have a great weekend.
