Maglite to introduce LED\'s in near future
Here's an excerpt from an e-mail I just received from a Maglite representative. Thought it was interesting.
".....please be advised that numerous new products are presently under development at Mag Instrument including LED flashlights. LED technology is a rapidly changing technology and, in Mag Instrument's opinion, the LED flashlight products which are presently being sold are lacking in the type of performance and quality needed by a consumer. Mag Instrument expects to introduce LED flashlights within the very near future. When they are introduced, we believe they will be the best LED flashlights on the market and worthy to carry the Maglite® name."
When asked why it's taking them so long, they said that they ".....invest heavily in automation so that it can compete with the pitifully low labor wages in foreign countries. Consequently, the development and introduction of new products takes longer at Mag Instrument than it does for companies selling foreign made flashlights."
