Flashlight Enthusiast
I was wandering around that company's website...I won't say the name, just in case...
Anyways, it came to me that, more than likely, the reason that the M-light's aren't improved or substantially redesigned (i.e. stipled reflector, Li-power, etc etc) is that if Mr. M. can't patent the design, he will not use the design. He has 81 patents registered, on just about everything flashlight related, and sues everybody (Brinkmann, Bison, Streamlight, etc) whom he thinks has infringed on his related patents.
I personally think he's stifling his own company's development...
Did you all see the legal-beagle info on the website, the agreement to "use" the website reads like a legal sourcebook...And, don't forget, if you submit any ideas, suggestions, new product designs, they become the property of Mr. M...
Don't use the M word, anymore...it may be dangerous...
