If I wanted to start my own business manufacturing flashlights (hypothetically speaking) how would I start? Can I buy all the components and just put them together? Is that how they are made in the U.S.?
How much of the technology is patented? When we talk about a regulated LED flashlight, how complicated is the electronics for the regulation and again is it patented?
Just wondering, I have no skills in any of the required field, just wanted to know how many manufacturers are actually designing and manufacturing or are they just putting the things together and charging us a lot of money for them?! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
