    Tektite on How Its Made

    Yes the photos are low res, to work with the current (old) platform. We are looking to hire a new designer for upgrades to our websites, the last 2 we hired have not performed as promised.

    Tektite on How Its Made

    We used to produce the Crane lights in Petaluma, only 200 mi. down 101. Occaisionally, we would drive or fly (in a Cessna) product to them if they ran short. Always enjoyed that drive...:tired:

    BR, If you're ever in the area, feel free to stop in for the nickel tour. Just PM in advance to make sure I'll be in. That is an open invite to all CPF members, too (just don't all crowd in at once).

    Tektite on How Its Made

    Thanks for the request, and the sprit it's offered. I don't want to give the impression I'm too busy for CPF, but my postings have usually been limited to answering questions, or providing clarifications, regarding the Tekna and Tektite brands. This usually happens when I'm checking incoming...

    Tektite on How Its Made

    The production company is Canadian. The BBC does also run it, I'm told. FYI- The film crew was here for 7-1/2 hours, the first "Raw cut" was 15 min., the final version 4.5 minutes. :wave:

    Minimag and Solitaire: new led upgrade kits

    I don't usually blow our horn here, but I wanted to correct some incorrect assumptions: 1.This is a custom-made 3mm LED, NOT a cut-down LED. 2. This is brighter than the original incandescent bulb supplied with the Solitaire or other 1AAA lights. So there... ;)

    Tektite flashlights on The Discovery Channel

    CHEESY-YOU'RE RIGHT, It is a retired Chieftan. The store owner starts it up every week. :D Thanks for the link, I always wondered where the cammo paint scheme came from. Oddly enough (or not, now that we know why), when you are travelling northbound on the divided highway in front of the store...

    Only Across the Pond, the Great White North, Down Under, or anywhere that the King's English is spoken. :D Please note the test title was "Tank Torcher Test" (TT=TTT); see what beer does to engineers..."danger, Will Robinson!" :crackup:

    Nichia 5mm color question...

    Hi Paul, The single LED with reflector is equal to a the current 2 LED module without reflector, The LEDs are the NSPW500CS C0T or C0U One of the CS is likely close to the output of a Trek 4 from 1998-2000 vintage. Send me a PM with a mailing address, I'll send you some parts.

    Tektite flashlights on The Discovery Channel

    Well, as an environmentally concerned company (see link to our policy below), we would NOT throw away all that aluminum, especially at today's prices!! We have a scrap company come by whenever the scrap bin is full. The extra money goes into the company coffee/snack fund, and the scrap goes...

    Tektite flashlights on The Discovery Channel

    Many thanks for the video link, too; It's been a problem figuring out when the episode next airs, and getting it up on our website... ...And yes, we hand solder every LED to ensure correct placement and aim. As you can see, we also hand assemble each one. The aluminum light is an Expedition...

    Tek-tite Splashlite LED

    Raptor99: Tektite brand lights are US-made. The Tekna Splash-Lite is a legacy product that we bought from another company. This is quoted from our TEKNA page: "...These Items are manufactured by us, and companies in Europe, China and the U.S.A., usually on the original Tekna tooling, and may...
