"We have been testing the Pak-Lite,. ...and, like L. Frances Herreshoff's ideal boat, the only drawback is that people want to borrow it."

"Battery life is enough to convince you to go short on battery company stock. We attached a Pak-Lite to an old smoke detector battery. We turned it on high Friday morning and let it burn. Monday morning it was still going, a bit dimmer, but bright enough to read in a dark room."

"We want to get a Pak-Lite for everyone we know; they are just about the cleverest idea that has come our way in a while.
We are impressed. The Pak-Lite gets the BWS seal of approval, with smiles all around."
