Well, Frank bought one, and I would like to hear his unbiased review. I have to admit, though, that there are aspects of the design/logo/website that scream home-brew -- which goes to show you how much window-dressing makes a difference these days, often for the worse. There are a lot of lipstick wearing pigs these days. But if I were running the company, I'd spend a few bucks on graphics and product design.


I've seen the lights on several occasions, and the actual product is fine.

There are some design decisions that I don't necessarily like but I
understand why they were made and what the trade-offs were.

He did say that his goal was to license the optics. Battery powered
lights aren't rocket science, the LEDs, batteries, charging circuit,
control circuit, and thermal design are pretty standard, but the optics
are the challenge to do well, and the Oculus does have excellent optics.

But the website, oy. That really screams "homebrew," and scares
potential customers away.
