The main distributor is in Canada, they seem to be Israeli designed with at least some of the parts made over there. The shipping is incredibly cheap within Canada. I got the red filter to preserve night vision, they accidentally shipped me a blue filter (and it is blue, not UV), and then fixed it by sending me the red... Yay, I now have two filters. Goto Dealextreme for the 18650 batteries and just watch how long the run time is.
Great site! I saw that the 18650s are all 3.7v batteries, and wondered if my Fenix LD20 could use these. On the package it says that it takes 1.5v batteries, but is it possible to go higher without burning the LEDs out? Or would using higher volt batteries have more severe consequences like short circuiting something.
