Sorry its been so long since the first blog entry!
The initial run of Occams is just about gone and I've been chipping away at our latest project, the Spartan. This light is a completely different beast than our first product, although it shares much of the design philosophy and is going to be machined by the same folks. The Spartan is... well... simply the smallest, brightest light we could come up with. It's designed to have significantly more output than any commercially available LED light system while still offering long runtime and intuitive operation. Equipped with hyper-efficient cool white emitters it will pump out around 2200 lumens, or if you're into quality and quantity our detail-enhancing neutral white emitters will be capable of over 1900 lumens.
The Spartan is controlled by a fully programmable user interface that features 5 levels of output while providing active temperature monitoring and low battery warning functions. The preliminary specs for this light will be posted on our main site after I get some more testing done.
Here's a rendering of the current design revision:
On a different note, we're moving! My wife scored a post-doc position at CU in Boulder, Colorado, and we're packing up and heading west! Stay tuned for updates...
