I've been poring over the forum and following links to try to find what I'm lusting for - an N-cell (for size) Luxeon (for white-light output) made for keychain use. The NLS "Larry-light" shown in MrBulk's reviews strikes me as perfect.
My question is - given that there is a proven demand for such a product, and given that prototypes have been made and sold by several people, why hasn't someone (like Arc) actually manufactured and marketed such a product?
I must be missing something - is it a lack of critical component supply? Is it a perceived lack of a market for a short-life light? Is it a pricing issue?
Seems to me that all these things can be overcome - why haven't these lights been brought past the prototype stage?
Can anyone shed some light on this (sorry) for me? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
