In May 2014, several Western Australians travelled over to South Africa to take part in the Expedition Africa Adventure Race.  Congratulations to Lesa Muir, Tim Sikma, Janet Musker, Mark Imbert, Shane Lewis and Grant Pepper for doing WA proud in the 500km course of canoeing, hiking, cycling, abseiling and canyoning.

Want to see Spikelights in action in South Africa?  Check out Mogens Johansen’s fantastic photos of the race here. You’ll see Lesa Muir wearing hers while abseiling and Janet Musker in a canyon. Mark Imbert’s also using an early version Spikelight to check his map.  We’re pretty sure some of the other pictures are of Spikelights as well but it’s little hard to tell at that distance!

Mogens Johansen’s photos were also featured in the West Weekend on 19 July 2014.

For Mogens Johansen’s online article on the photographic challenge of the WA team’s race, see here.

If you’re coming to the WA Upside Down rogaine this weekend, then there are three good reasons for you to come and find me:

1. I’ll be displaying a prototype of the new battery case. This new case will be a free upgrade to all V3 owners later this year.
2. If you already have a V3, I may be able to slightly increase the range of your spot beam. It won’t be a big improvement, but it’s free, so you might as well let me try to make your V3 better.
3. I’ve got a box full of new V3s to deliver to people who have already paid. I’ve also got a few extras if you want to buy one.

I’ll probably have a table somewhere near the Admin tent. If I’m not there, then look for a green Landrover Discovery II with a black roof rack. Ask for Ashley. See you there!

The intense, long-range beam on our Spikelight Headlamps, is very special. It is unique in the world of headlamps and it really needs to be seen to be understood.  The style and construction are also completely different to anything else you’ll buy in a camping store.

If you’re in Brisbane, QLD and would like a demonstration, then email us or Contact Us Here. We’ll be giving demonstrations for the first two weeks of January.

Come and see what all the fuss is about!

Good News!

While some people have been receiving their V3 headlights over the last few months, many of you are still waiting – but your wait is almost over! This post is to tell you about our plans to clear the waiting list by Christmas.

In the last few months, a few V3s have been released into the wild.  Some to locals and some to people who have been pestering me since Jan 2011.  Feedback has been positive enough to start a waiting list.

This post will outline:

• Prices.
• How to get on the waiting list.

So if you’re keen to get your hands on a V3, then read on after the jump.
