Please post pictures of flashlight companies

Hello,

We are always discussing and playing with flashlights. Often I think where they are made and by who.
But I really have no idea how these companies look like.
I know that Maglite must be a large industrial complex, where Peak is supposedly a small workshop.
I guess Surefire is quite large as well but I have no idea what it is in reality.

So I guess it would be a nice idea to post pictures of flashlight companies.
Maybe also of the internet vendors and the people we often hear about on this site.

It surprises me a bit that such kind of thread has never been launched on cpf.

Kind regards,
Joris

There are some pictures on the Fenix Homepage of their location:

lol, someone hosted the shot show promo to youtube, I think that was the 2006 edition, not sure though, 2005s also hosted on http://www.pk-e.com/

There was that show on how flashlights are made that had several good clips of the SF factory and machining process.

yeah, all those videos of surefire's facility are pretty cool. i am interested to see what other results we get from this thread as well.

perhaps someone can solicit another tour into PK's cavern
like this guy?
