Were starting to see a variety of lights using Crees XM-L emitter, all the way from the MiNiX 123 up to the v2 Catapult. And growing in popularity are lights having some form of variable brightness control (Ra Rotary, RRT MCS rings, etc.). What I havent seen is a light incorporating both of...
Amen, brother. I work for a company (not going to state which one, but one might be able to figure it out) that's been embroiled in a patent-infringement case for many, many years. We're only fortunate that our company owner does have deep enough pockets (still) to deal with the legal fees.
