Frelux Synergy1 Passaround
I don't know how many of you guys are familiar with the Frelux Synergy1, it's a new light that had its first batch dropped about two weeks ago and currently open for preorders on the second batch. I mentioned doing a CPF passaround to Benjamin and he said go for it so here we are!
About the maker:
Frelux is a a one man operation ran by a dude named Benjamin that makes stuff as a hobby. Quite literally one man, He designes, machines, finishes, anodizes, assembles and even ships it all personally. This is his first flashlight, his previous product was a task light geared towards his fellow machinists. Not really a flashlight guy, he just carried a Streamlight AAA that broke one day so he set out to design a light he'd want to carry and use. Compactness, ergonomics and ease of use were the main goal, and of course, form must follow function. He came up with the Synergy1
Passaround Rules:
The purpose of this passaround is to expose anyone interested to this form factor. It is decidedly unique and wonderfully innovative, as with anything new, people often hesitate. Here's a way to check it out at no risk.
The Synergy1 is a customize-able flashlight that allows you to design your own colorway and choose various engravings. The passaround light is a tumbled clear anodized light to hide any wear.
This is a product still in development, the passaround unit is from only the second batch ever made. Being that the design is still in development and Frelux is of the Constant Improvement school of thought, there may be small differences between batches, eg. a new driver and firmware design is currently in development. Thoughts, comments and feedback are greatly appreciated.
Fine Print:This passaround has been crossposted but the central participant list is here. Some participants may be manually added by myself.
