I know this is going to make some people upset and others really happy, but this is what we've got to work with :) I'm very aware that some of the appeal with Blue-Label lights is the 100% hands on approach and the fancy finishes, but my current workload just doesn't permit me to make those and get anything else done.

My personal light (that I carry everyday) is a Ready-Made \"because it's everything you need and nothing you don't.\" I stole that line from Nissan. I firmly believe that the Alpha Custom will fully represent my intention to build the best flashlights on earth. These will be serialized as Blue-Label lights, come with an individual report card, and be eligible for the \"lifetime upgrade program\" where you can upgrade your light to the most current version (if possible) for a reduced cost. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1356\/1883\/files\/CLICK-FOR-INFO.gif?v=1489786829\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"highlight-text\"\u003eYou might be wondering what you get for your money:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"highlight-text\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/darksucks.mom\/collections\/modding-components\/products\/led-driver\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1356\/1883\/files\/ICARUS-BANNER-600_9bdfe644-953c-4dcb-94c1-19a51288e4c0.jpg?v=1487156299\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI've been working on this driver for over two years.
