I see the light!

January 13, 2009
When winter settles in around these parts, daylight doesn't seem to last too long. So like moths we tend to get excited about the new bright and shiny toys we bring in. Today we have Super Bright LEDs - they're the nifty little units we put in the HexPummer Lantern to create that extra pulse of brilliant light. Right now we have two flavours available, white and blue. They come in the same sized package as our other LEDs, measuring around 35 x 5 x 5mm, but are a step up from our other Ultra Brights. Check out the product pages for specs and pricing.
And good news for anyone looking to get their hands on some Sherline equipment - we currently have one Imperial CNC-Ready Lathe Accessory Package on the shelf and ready to go. Simply give us a ring so we can sort out shipping and the fine details, and then we can send it on it's way.
