Company will probably end up being another cps authority. I doubt they'll have any inventory, and all their products will probably be stuff available on alibaba.com I doubt i'll be proven wrong and sorry Wandi, you're going to be disappointed.
Well they obviously have at least one American made line, so you appear to have been proven wrong in less than 24 hours.

And yet, it intrigues you enough for you to personally ask several people (including several members here on the board) if anyone has any insight as to who the owners may be.
I can confirm this as I was one of at least four people he contacted about them and he grilled to find out more.

What does me asking who the owners are, have to do with my comment and what I think they'll be? Since when was an opinion not allowed on this forum?
FreshDave04 said:
Who said anything about your opinion not being allowed?
My statement was due to your (now) outspoken critisizm, yet you are interested enough in this new entity that you have asked multiple people who the owners are; and not only asking who they are, you're requesting people relay information to the ownership (if these folks have open lines of communication with OPSE) on your behalf, in hopes of having OPSE contact you.
I would only assume that despite your efforts, you haven't been contacted by OPSE and now as a result, you'll start your campaign against them. But, what do I know... it's just my opinion, after all.
As mentioned above, I've been contacted by him to have the owners this company contact him. Apparently I look like a secretary?! Sorry no. I was a big boy and I e-mailed the company through their site. I too like Wandi and two other people on this board got a polite response back declining to provide any substantial details without the protection of privacy agreements sent by their legal team. So if this is the case, then he has contacted them and they turned him away or he has not contacted them directly himself and none of us plan on being his secretary.
I was also in chat last night when he openly accused Wandi of being a liar about knowing more about this company. He claimed that Wandi started this thread before Outlet PSE had a website up.

I saw that on FaceBook...I was very un-impressed. I don't know who the owner is, but to start attacking companies is stupid and childish. Stick with being mysterious, don't turn this into another "we're better than you" war.

I'd have to agree. I'd hate for another Tom vs. Lewis type of thread or anything like that...
They are not on the board posting a thread. This seems to be a one sided attack from LEDGUY on them. I believe the Tom VS Louis thread was all based on the fact that Louis said that no matter what Tom did he would get screwed by his association with LED GUY/LED Outfitters/Damega. Well as much as I hate to say it, Louis was right. Tom provides great customer service and had a great reputation on here however he appears to have been screwed and was forced to terminate that relationship. Guess what we don't see now? Tom VS Louis.
The entire ELB community (with the exception of EMT-BLS and 911) have been against LED GUY/LED Outfitters/Damega. How about being concerned that this is going to be another "I don't like LED Outfitters/Damega" thread?
It appears to be another vender and he is going on the attack.
When another manufacturer comes in he goes on the attack.
Just by browsing this board there is never anything he DOESN'T attack apparently. Other manufacturers, other people's vendors, their customers, HIS customers, and HIS vendors.
Good for Outlet PSE for not backing down to a bully. He attacked them and they made a subtle return of his serve to let him know they won't be pushed around. Much like i did in the Tom VS Louis debacle, I will grant my support for the (so far) apparent smaller guy here. The guy that was going about his business before being attacked. I hope to forge a good working relationship with them like I have many vendors on this site (Covert Lights, PPSE, P1, MHQ/emt anderson, AWL, and yes even Strobes-N-More).
I know what EMT-BLS and 911 are gonna say... its what they always say "he must be doing something right because he is selling a ton and making a bunch of money" You know what... he probably is. But at the end of the day, there is still the piece of mind of just doing what is right. I won't go on the attack but I will defend others. That is the nature of my job. That is ingrained in me. My company is new. I'm not turning a profit and I'm busting my ass. At the end of the day, I'm not here to get rich off my brothers in public safety. There is more to life than getting rich. My company is turning the corner. I poked fun at Outlet PSE but I hope they do things the right way and takes care of emergency personnel instead of trying to get rich off each one.
I'm honestly not even sure that any of this post makes sense due to a high level of narcotics in my bloodstream right now, but I'll edit it later if I need to.
