LED Flashlights Taking Off
from the light-me-up dept
Apparently, people are buying up those new LED flashlights, much to the surprise of the companies that are selling them. The LED lights which have significantly longer battery lives are selling really well, even though the companies that are making them aren't marketing them at all. In fact, they say that focus groups have shown that people don't even understand what LED lights are. What they do understand, it seems, is "five times the battery life".
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
