Thanks for the photos! It's mind-boggling to think how many lights must be put together there each day.

That was a nice story thanks it looks like so much fun. I wish I could go to all my favorite flashlight manufactures around the world and explore them, it would be like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory for a flashaholic.

It's always amazing to see behind the scenes. It's a bit unfortunate that many associate Far East products with poor quality, however, it's often the opposite. This gentleman was so impressed that he dedicated a separate article to discussing QC.

Excellent article. Nicely written and some great photos of the Fenix production; you really get the 'atmosphere' of the place.

Thanks also for the english conversion . :thumbsup:

Great report and very interesting details of the mfg. process.

I will say though that the water in the water resistance tank test is a bit nasty looking. I'd rather not handle a light that had been soaked in that water, looks rather like sewage IMO.

Nice work and I hope to read more reports like this one.

lol, ignorance would have been bliss in this case, I guess. Let's just say it was warm flashahol bath. :D

In some parts of China, based on my experiences traveling there in the past, that's what the water looks like. :sick2: Just don't ever drink it!

You get spoiled when you live in some countries where clean tap water that you can drink is totally taken for granted.
