LumaRay is a company that has just launched the FL12-RX, a new LED flashlight. The design of the flashlight might not be considered slick, but it sure gets the job done. Modes are chosen by turning the head of the flashlight. The flashlight can run continuously for 6 months on Mode3, although the brightness reaches to only 9000 mcd. Mode1, at 400 hours, runs at a brightness of 820000 mcd. There's more to it than a stream of light! The FL12-RX comes with a bunch of bells and whistles, including an animated strobe mode, where red and white lights flash continuously.

The headphones come in black, lime, cream, walnut and white colors. What appears to be a metal wire is put over your head. It connects the two earphones. These 'phones come with a "swivel housing." It may be thought of as a disadvantage, but in a risky move, Audio-Technica has displayed it as a feature. It allows the earphones to swivel, although it is likely this can also cause the earphones to tangle up. Also, the metal-wire headband is adjustable.
