I just want everyone to know that I have been busting my but to get some bad ass lights again since last year. The friend of mine that is a light expert and modified my lights last year has been working with me and holding my hand again on this year's new lights.
It is fun for me and him because we have the same ideas in a good light.
What makes it hard is I have been looking for a light that will be great for years to come.
This road has been exciting and extensive but I believe I am there. I have at least 2 weeks until I can show what I have. Sorry to you guys that have been contacting me about lights. I was shooting for September 1st 2014 but it will be the second week in September. I just have not had a finished light that I will say yes to yet. I have finally gotten to were the lights should be perfect for my final stamp. YA Hoo
Look out critters, these lights might be so good they should be illegal. :-)

Thanks for the update Buckwheat.
-
Not something you like to hear as a consumer or someone who bought a carnivore light last year.
-
I didn't hear any bad news there. Keep up the great work Ernie and I can't wait to see the new light!

Its not any different then foxpro or ford or gm or any of the manufactures out there.
-
if i called foxpro today to order a caller, would they tell me that there are none in stock and that i would have to wait because newer better technology is coming out in 2 months?
also very rare to see car manufactures run out of vehicles. they usually make enough for supply and demand and have plenty left over at the end of the year.

;) ;) Ernie that's great...I just wish everyone could appreciate your dedication to producing the best quality product you can, at a price we can afford :) :) :)

The Carnivore light was praised so much on this website when it first came out, it is the greatest, the brightest. i guess it is a pet peve of mine to claim something to be the best when it hasn't seen a season or has been tested and proven, then it is only in production for 1 season. i also wonder if i bought a Carnivore light and something happend 2 years from now will there still be parts or bulbs to fix it.
The 3 lights I have been using are 3 years old and beat up pretty good, it is time to replace them so i have been looking, the carnivore is one of the lights i would have looked at but they are not available for purchase.
to use your car analogy, the always say do not buy a car in its first year because they need to work out the bugs.
-
;D ;D ;D ;D Sounds like it's time for an " Energizer or Duracell" flashlight :P :P :P they never run out of supply!! :P :P :P :P :P If you bought a car...can you really expect to buy the "exact" same car next year brand new???? Hmmmm Edsel comes to mind ??? ??? ???
-
yeah the Ford F150 was only in production for a year or two.
-
:) :) :) That's OK if you like Fords...and all parts are interchangeable???? Right??? ::) ::)
-
:) :) :) :) more of a Toyota guy, not sure why i picked Fords. but at least i know i can get parts for them or have them serviced.

>:( >:( >:( So much for "Made in the USA" :P :P :P
-
nothing is made in the USA anymore..
-
Yea is sucks, I had to purchase leds and heat sinks in the United states and send to china for testing. Both parts are made in China but only sold by an americian companies. Then when the stuff comes into out country we pay a 3% inportant tax. But had I have to pay 30% inport fee to china so for every dollar I spend on lights it cost me 33 cents right off the top. And you wonder why the us can not compete.
with china.
Also call me on you china phone or computer to compain. Or just smash you phone and computer.
-
Ernie I can't wait! You can put me down for one for sure!

I understand your concerns about keeping lights is stock.
That has been hard to do since they were custom made. The warrenty time on my lights has never been set. I will deal with each problem as they come up. By the way there has been no warranting issues out there I know of. Unlike like all the other light dealers that just go to there china dealer and order in what they think they need for spares. That is a better way for dealing with lights. Custom lights are just a little harder to control quanty.
As far as how will these new lights hold up? I think very good and should be as good or better the other china lights. As far as quality, they are assembled with quality first to hold of any warranty issues. If you think laying out thousands of dollars on testing and then to purchase thousands of dollars worth of lights. Quility is a big concern I stride for. That is the key to good product's. Building the most Powerful lights at the same time is just icing on a cake.

I had a piece of plastic break on my head light and ask Ernie about it and you know what he did? Any guesses? He said bring it to the camp out and I'll take care of it! He never once ask if I threw it against a tree or beat a red to death with it. He just fixed it and I'll take that Custom Customer service over any big chain light any day. So it's gonna be two more weeks let's rip his head off for it. Makes a lot of sense!

Do not worry you will get one. PPHA people hear about my stuff first.
-
im excited im checking your website daily!
-
I can't speak for anyone but myself.... I have purchased 4 lights from Ernie and use them hard during hunting season. I'm usually out 4-5 times a week calling....some weeks more. I have yet to have a failure with any of the lights. I do realize ANY product has a life expectancy, but the way Ernie's lights have preformed for me, I feel confidant that his lights will out live me!
There is always something new on the market. Something bigger and better. But lets be honest....how big is big enough or even too big. His lights will out shine further than the average hunter can shoot!
Just my opinion.

Love mine, zero problems with it.
Glad to see them improving even more. Get any brighter and you'll be setting them critters on fire.
