• A recent job posting by flashlight and LED lighting maker TerraLUX reveals that the company is planning on re-locating the company. The job listing for a HR Manager & Recruiter / Office Manager mentions the news, but gives no clue as to where the company will be re-locating to.

• Much as it disappoints those who consider themselves 'flashaholics', not everyone keeps a flashlight on the bedstand for late-night use. But the new Philips GuideLight might just change that. This combination night-light/flashlight features inductive charging, a motion detector, and a fashionable design that effectively obscures its utility. Perfect for someone who needs a flashlight nearby at night, but can't stand the idea of a industrial-looking, conventional flashlight ruining the look of their bedroom.

• As LEDs have become more popular in applications like general lighting, automotive lighting, and in portable devices like flashlights, short supply has become an issue. Recent press reports have suggested that LED supplies could get much tighter over the next several years as demand explodes. But according to Purchasing.com, LED manufacturers are ramping up their capacity by ordering the 'reactors' necessary to make them. The only problem is that it can take up to 10 months to receive the reactors and get them producing LEDs. So supplies may continue to be tight in the short run, but improve over the next years or so.

• The company that brings you the Nitecore brand of flashlights recently participated in the 6th ISPO China trade show and has posted some photographs of their display booth and the show. Their booth was co-branded with that of JetBeam Flashlights and featured an informational video monitor, a display case of Nitcore lights and headlamps, and what appears to be a fishtank...presumably for demonstrating the water-resistant features of their products.
