heh... Surefire's answer to the shake light? :thumbsdow

However, it looks more like a school project... "design a marketing piece for an imaginary light"

Can't be a Surefire. No mention of "Nitrolon" even though it's a plastic light, and I doubt Surefire would ever make a light that doesn't use CR123A's. Maybe some flashaholic graphic designer's final's project?

I wonder if "John Chambers" exists, and does he really consider "grilling" a hobby??! :crackup:

Dead giveway it's not SureFire's: No circle with a "R" in it denoting SureFire's registered trademark.

I can read most of it. It uses ultra capacitors and the tether cord is a pull string to a generator to charge it up. So you pull the cord to run the generator and charge up the capacitors. The guy in the lower left photo holding it extended is actually charging it. The pull cord is tethered to his back pack so by extending his arm out he's running the generator to chuge the "ultra" capacitor which accoding to this wonderful product sheet, only takes a few strokes to reach a "useful charge".

Its supposedly made of polycarbonate and has a pyrex window. Supposed to be totally sealed to the outside world. I don't think its real, I think some one should try and email Adam Scott Hammerman at gmail.com and see what happens.

I am sure it will sell for $395.95 and should be listed as being available in June (what year we may never know for sure). :poke:

Wow... What a load of :barf:! That ad is such a shameless use of SureFire's good name.:tsk:

I hope the proper people at SureFire who handle such things know about that and give them a good :whoopin:!

I'd like one for on top of the fridge. The cord could attach to the milk so when the kids get cereals it charges it up.

Looks like those pictures have been posted by user quattrokid73 on flickr http://www.flickr.com/people/25312165@N00/

According to his website, he's studiying design in San Francisco

So emailling him wont get you a new flashlight in your mailboxl, but will certainly make him proud about his work.

It's a school project, as described here
