MetroLux and Deliveries, Sept 2007

The Folks at Metered Light are in the process of deciding whether to make more MetroLux (or is it MetroLuxes, MetroLii, MetroLumens, I don't know). Obviously, there in not a huge demand for darkroom equipment these days. We would hate to leave anybody without a MetroLux if they wanted one. Yet, we cannot stockpile a bunch of them in our closet waiting for the last customer to roll in. There are presently enough units to fill orders and there are a couple units left for lucky customers. What will happen after this is uncertain. It has come up quickly and there are feelings at Metered Light that we should give more notice before we pull the plug production.

Regardless, I don't believe the Remote Sensor will be made anymore and none is available.
