The Pixel: A precision crafted LED flashlight designed for hard-use everyday carry

Now before I go and post all kinds of pretty pictures, I need to make a couple of clarifications.

1. This is NOT a flashlight you will use to light up your back yard, blind your neighbor, or impress your friends with. It is a tiny, convenient, useful, tiny, durable and tiny flashlight. Did I mention that it is really small?
2. I have not been able to synchronize with Jon to get these in the forum store upon their release. Therefore I am going to set up the following process if anyone from this forum wants to purchase one from our website:

Now, please read this carefully:
I want to make sure Jon gets credit for allowing us/me (TEC Accessories) to utilize this forum for business purposes. If you place on order on our web site for the Pixel, a portion of the ENTIRE sale will get donated into Jon’s PayPal account. In order for us to identify where the forum sales are coming from, we will offer a coupon code which will last for a fixed period of time. The coupon code is EDCF (original, huh?). That coupon code will give you a small discount of $1 off your purchase, but more importantly flag it as an EDCF purchase so we can allocate funds for Jon accordingly. We have to issue a coupon in order to do this within the confines of our system, hence the small discount. Please be aware that since we have resellers, we technically cannot discount the product on our site in contradiction to our own internal policy, but $1 should not be an issue.

Now for the eye candy:

BATTERY LIFE

Battery life and runtimes will vary over a broad range due to the nature of the small batteries. Extended “ON” durations (1 minute or longer) will have a tendency to shorten battery life rapidly, whereas short bursts of “ON” durations (15 seconds) will result in very long battery life expectancy. The duration of rest, or “OFF” time between “ON” cycles will also have a great impact on battery life. The longer the rest time, the longer the battery life. Even if you run the flashlight for an extended period, and see the flashlight intensity drop considerably, this is not a permanent state. If you let the batteries rest for a period of time, they will recover and offer brighter intensity that what had been previously observed. In short, battery life is very subjective.

As an example, we have tested the light with short bursts of 15 seconds “ON” and a minimum of 1 hour of “OFF” time. This has resulted in months of use with minimal intensity drop. In contrast, a 1 minute “ON” cycle with only a 5 minute “OFF” time will result in a small number of cycles before an intensity drop is noticed. However even at a diminished intensity level, the light is quite useable for its intended purpose.
