Industry and Market Reporting?

Dear All,

I am the guy who makes the BoGo solar lights. All is well - coming out with new models, opening a second factory in India, Rockefeller Foundation is providing grants and life is very good. I just came back from Angola, where ExxonMobil put 7500 of my lights in some villages - really amazing to see the impact on people's lives.

I have a quick question - I need information on international flashlight sales and trends - I am loath to spend th $2000 plus for an 'industry report'. Does anyone have any links to open source material/information? I am going for a second round of finanacing, and this informaiton would be valuable.

Thanks - Mark
