Say Hello to Luci

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

I first met Luci at the recent OR Winter Market when Brad Decker brought one to me to see. He showed it to me and my eyes lit up and my mind started racing. The possibilities are fantastic with this thing. Then, Brad tells me something even better. He is going to rep this line along with Wade Wittman and told me Mpowerd is going to launch an IR model.

So what’s Luci you ask? That’s easy, ‘Luci’ is an inflatable, water resistant bright LED solar lantern with three light settings — dim, bright and emergency flashing. Weighing in at a scant 3.8 oz, it has the added feature of being collapsible and portable, holding its charge for 3 months, making it maintenance-free and suitable for all weather conditions. The Luci Solar Lantern is designed and manufactured by MPowered, a Benefit Corporation, founded in 2012.

Paul Kim Departs SureFire After 19 years

Sunday, January 13th, 2013

20130113-004053.jpg

SureFire announced yesterday on their Facebook page that the iconic Paul Kim is leaving the firm after 19 years of service. Many do not know that PK as he is known was the design force behind the now defunct Icon lights. It was a great spin-off brand but unfortunately never caught an audience.

After 19 years of service with SureFire and countless contributions, Paul Kim has decided to leave SureFire to pursue other opportunities. Paul Kim has been the Vice President of Engineering since the earliest days of the company. He holds over 40 patents dating back to the 1980s, and many of his innovations are integrated into just about every modern flashlight. He was a pioneer in the industry, and has created some of the best-engineered and most revered illumination products ever made. Everyone at SureFire thanks Paul for his many years of service, and we wish him only the best in his latest pursuits.
