Product Announcement - Fenix HP25 headlamp in stock on Thursday

Fenix Lighting's latest headlamp, the HP25 will be in stock and ready to ship on Thursday (6/11).  That means Wednesday is the last day for preorder discounts!

This new headlamp is a bit of a departure from the norm for Fenix.  There are two separate beams on this headlamp.  One for flood, and one for throw.  Together they provide a huge wall of light.  We're excited to play with this new headlamp and will post more when they come in.

Specs

  • 360lm output

ShaoloGear site update - Larger images and more

You may have noticed on your way in that things are larger.  I've increased the width of the site, increased the image size both in the grid views as well as in the product view.  The product descriptions are also wider.

 

In an effort to make the grids look more homogenous, image sizes have been capped at 240x135 (16x9).  Some images will need to be retuned for this change, but most grid items will now line up.

ShaoloGear site update - Simplification

Hi Gears,

I've been working to simplify the website over the last couple of weeks. Over time it has grown both slow and ugly.  

So far:

  • I've relocated the vendor links and category links in to two separate drop downs in the main navigation list.  
  • The Twitter feed has been removed entirely.  It was a fantastic resource, but the look and feel along with the sluggish performance were just too much of a drag on site performance.
  • The law enforcement/first responder/military discount has been moved in to the footer of the page, along with the newsletter sign up. An interesting side note; the vast majority of people on the newsletter are acquisitions from sales.  Very few individuals randomly sign up, though we do get a few.
  • The search bar has been moved up in to the header of the page allowing me to turn off the right column entirely. 

I'll be adding a carousel to the main page in the next few weeks to showcase new products, and any deals that may be running at the time.

 

Hopefully these changes are seen as improvements.  I would love to get some feedback on the site updates.  Please either leave a comment below, a twitter msg, facebook post, email, etc.
