We did it! Due to the phenomenal response to the original Doug Ritter Special Edition Photon Freedom Micro with the painted bodies we've take the next HUGE step (and HUGE investment) and had the bodies MOLDED IN YELLOW GLASS-FILLED POLYURETHANE! This MkII version has the same twice as bright bulb and an improved protective tube (OK, the standard covert nose, if you have to know) to prevent sidescatter. The new yellow bodies are super looking. We also replaced the black clip with a chrome one as the black coated one didn't wearing as well as I'd like in the pocket.

After a lot of testing with friends and others we decided that the standard covert nose worked just fine, not many could tell the difference, and by using it instead of the special cut-off nose we'd be able to keep the cost the same even with the cost of the yellow bodies.

While I didn't mind the painted bodies of the first version, it worked just fine, the fact is that the MkII version are much better looking. The yellow body is a bit translucent and the nose glows slightly when the light is on. Very cool looking.

We didn't expect these until after the holidays, but the first box has arrived at www.Aeromedix.com just in time, in case you're looking for that perfect last minute stocking stuffer.

Best wishes for the holiday season.

Man I just ordered old yellow photons at aeromedix last week... Story of my life one step behind.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I bought (as in paid real money) 20 the week before this project finally came together since we were getting low on stock and I didn't think there would be any more. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Oh well...

Well I just called aeromedix and they told me that they will be not selling new photons for at least two weeks... Hmmm. You sure about the case they got?

Well, that's what I was told. <sigh> Guess we'll have a talk in the morning...

They might be holding until they have enough stock.

Or is that a no-no with the trademark that is Doug? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It figures the new and improved ones would come out after I just bought 6 of the MK I's for Christmas gifts. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

A few years back, when I ordered 50 Photon 3 from LRI, I was surprised to receive microlights WITHOUT the SOS strobe function, which was advertised. This new feature was available only a few weeks AFTER my order ... <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Honest, they've got 'em!

Apparently there was some sort of internal communication failure with whomever you spoke with. If it was late, may have been the "answering service" which takes calls/orders after hours. Taken care of now. You should be contacted by Aeromedix.

Yeah got an email will place an order on Monday. Thanks for your help.
