    The vintage California cop light company thread

    I just posted on the "Where's all the old timers?" thread. Been here since 2001. Seems like just 27 years ago I was being called a "young upstart" when I started the company. The collection photo is about 12 years old; It's considerably expanded over the years. Here's 3 of my faves: L to R, all...

    Resurrecting My old Tekna-Lite 4

    Many Tekna lovers from around the world simply refuse (understandably) to abandon their Lites. These went out of production in 1990. I never cease to be amazed at how many loyal owners still use them regularly, a testament to the quality of construction of Ralph Osterhout's design. I still have...

    Old Tekna incan modified to LED

    Wow, nice job. This looks to originally have been a Tekna Lite 1 (1AA), yes?

    Tekna Flashlights

    The Trek Lithium uses a 3.6v Lithium-Thionyl-Chloride AA battery, with a max of 100ma draw. The GS is directly run from this. Lumens is more like 8 with the new LED. Only our solo-LED lights use the GS, due to the reduced LED life (1,000 hr). The rest of our white LED arrays use the Nichia DS.

    Tekna Flashlights

    Right now, only the ARC light in alum. We do make 2 GS-based keychain ABS lights; Trek Lithium (1-3.6v lith AA) and the Knifelite (2-cr2025).

    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:
