Guys:
Just a quick update on things. I am currently waiting for some more items to arrive, but I should have (2) 12W LED canister lights ready to ship by next week. These will be complete- light, batteries, charger. I have been trying to keep the price as low as possible while keeping quality very high (agro glands, delrin, custom light head, locking latches, etc). It looks like my $400 projection was a bit low. Therefore, I am pricing the 12W at $450 shipped CONUS. It looks like, even at this price, some of the closest retail units are still about $200 higher.
An additional 2 lights will be completed shortly thereafter, I expect a few days after the initial 2 are finished as I am just waiting for a few parts to get them done.
Based on the number of PMs I have received, it looks like these are pretty much ALL spoken for. I would , however, like to know who is really interested so I can be ready to contact you as soon as done.
Again, thanks to everyone for their support. I will be making more of these, so if you don't get one now, get on the list for the next batch... My next goal is to try to get the 27W unit up and running. This one, I hope to bring out for about $800... We'll see.

Very good work 350xfire! I love that you put switches in the groove of canister lid it is much more clean than switch protector like H does. And looks you have nice organised workshop
. Only these latches are not so good becouse thay have their ends turn up! They are more easy to open by accident so you have to put some rubber tape from car tube over them to cover ends and protect them. I used latches with ends down and at last time with protective bolts.
BTW: I have asked you for price because when I have to order parts like latches , electronics , plastics a lot of money takes post package from other countries , special from Germany which it is nearest to me. In our country we don't have some special shops to buy exact these parts. One shipment from Germany normaly takes arround 17€ and normally you can not buy all parts at one place. And for parts from DE takes arround month to get them!
At my luck I got direct supplier for AGRO glands in Slovenia and cheap :shocked2:amazing!
(once they send to me a gland with metal inner spacer; normaly are they made from thermoplastic which it is not the best plastic for that kind but it is cheap. And of course a hole in gland is for 0,3mm too small)
Regards !
