Lambda News
Is our new address on the web. Stop by and check out the New Lambda Lights web site. Grand Re-Opening Coming 5 July 2008 New products and Special Deals - January 2007 - A new year is here, and with it, new flashlights. The ProCharger has been updated with the new P4 LED and is brighter than ever!
Here's a runtime chart for the 2D Mag flashlight compared to the ProCharger flashlight. Note than after only ten minutes into the run time test the Mag 3 Watt LED flashlight has dropped intensity almost 50%. The ProCharger operating on the same NiMh cells removed from the Mag puts out over twice the light and maintains constant brightness. Impressive performance has always been part of the Lambda ProCharger, but now with the new P4 LED the ProCharger is setting new records in brightness for single LED flashlights. ProCharger Special Edition P4 Flashlights are Available Now!
Here's an outdoor shot of the ProCharger in operation
And also in the works is a P4 energized Hydra XP4 flashlight The new MiniPro is now available The MiniPro kit is now available. You can find all the build notes in the MiniPro Kit Builder's thread located in the Mod forum on the Custom Light Factory at www.customlightfactory.com I highly recommend this new lighting forum, the Custom Light Factory. It's a brand new forum that is all about lighting. While there have been light oriented forums in the past, they just seem to always melt down into a clash of personalities and discussions that serve to only distract from the subject at hand; lighting. This new forum won't do that, as it will remain focused on lighting, especially the newest, latest, greatest lighting products available. I encourage you sign up and participate in this new forum, as it's your chance to get in on the ground floor of what is surely to become the premiere lighting forum on the web. The Custom Light Factory's goal is to get the adversity out, and get the fun factor back into the discussion of lighting. Right now you can find some really innovative new lighting products like a high performance 4 watt fluorescent tube that produces 380 lumens, double the output of standard tubes it's size. Also there are discussions on solar powered lighting, vehicle lighting, batteries, and everything else related to lighting. And of course, the MiniPro discussion thread is there, so you really have no reason not to stop by and sign up today. The new MiniPro is now available here: http://home.mchsi.com/~testlight/miniprokit2.htm
Lambda Lights has completed moving to our new facilities. This will allow us to greatly expand our products and services with room to grow for the future also. While everything is here, there's still plenty of installation and construction work yet to be done. But, that won't interfere with us shipping orders. All back orders have shipped! We've finally plowed through all the back orders created during our move and all have been shipped. Thank you for your understanding during this move period. While we're still not back to our regular 1 to 2 days shipping, new orders should get shipped within 2 to 3 days.
As many of you have noticed, the Solitaire modules have finally arrived. These little gems proved to be much more difficult to manufacture than projected. While the factory honored the original price, they have stated that if more are required in the future, there will be a significant price increase. So when these are gone, they'll gone for good at least at the current price. You can find these here: http://home.mchsi.com/~lambda_lights/solit.htm
Coming soon will be the Improved MiniPro module, in both finished and kit form. We've taken the MiniPro converter and shrunk it down to fit inside a fully encapsulating heatsink without compromising performance.
