custom light builder

came across this guy in an MTBR thread:

didn't look into it much since I am not in the market for new lights, but looks pretty interesting.

for the shout out! Noticed that a few of you have been hitting my blog so I thought I would introduce myself -

My name is Jay (aka scar). I am a 46 year old mechanical designer for a major medical device manufacturer in Lakewood, Colorado where I have worked for the last 22 years. I have a small milling machine at home that I am producing my lights with. I have two small children, therefore, I could not afford the money it costs today for a kick ass light set up so I made my own.

There is no way that I could keep up with the rate that MagicShines are selling (or replacing batteries), nor do I want to. I am just a guy trying to raise my kids in today's world, perform at my job during the day, build some lights on Friday and Saturday nights, and trying to get a bike ride in there somewhere. 95% of my riding is done in the dark at 5am because of all of my other commitments, therefore I need lights. I also like sharing my stuff with others that value a handmade, custom light and the service that goes with it. I am not trying to put a light on every bike.



These are the main reasons people purchase my lights -

1. - Size
2. - Weight
3. - Non proprietary batteries
4. - Customer service
5. - Made by someone who uses his lights on an almost daily basis
and knows the importance of reliability and has the same passion for biking.
