How elegantly simple is that lanyard keeper-in-place of the LED one? (Very.)

Nice work ernsanada...:thumbsup:

I'd missed this story before now, I'll add it to the list of news stories for tomorrow's daily update.

And add DME to my watchlist...

Agreed. I like the stretchy lanyard that attaches at the bottom and hooks on near the top. Sort of like a palm strap that you might find on a mini DV cam.

Only three years shelf life of the battery... I wonder if they're using carbon cells or heavy duties? (I suppose either would save weight over alkalines.)

I think you may find that they have a very large safety margin on the batteries so even if the batteries had a ten year self life, they replace them every three years anyway.

I sent Scott Price an email asking about more details about the Led Light.

This is his reply.

Ernest, thanks for the insight and support into your Candle Power Forum. I
agree that having an LED approved for commercial aircraft is exciting. The
flashlight will be powered by a Luxeon 3 watt LED. The batteries are
lithium, which as you know will provide a long "on-time".

Thanks for the posting. I am looking forward to see the new DME LED
flashlight fly next year on the 787.

If there was a (crashed) plane to get stranded on an island with... this'd be the one. :crackup:
