RISKS & CHALLENGES
We've worked hard to eliminate the risks behind this project with all the work we've put in so far. We began with our idea in early 2013 and have worked through several improved versions of the product. We have done extensive testing and added the best features, such as the detachable and rechargeable battery.
Despite Balight being a huge hit at big electronics shows and successful sample product testing, we continued perfecting the product before fulfilling pre-orders. We have been super conservative in our timeline to ensure Balight is the best it can be, and that we can exceed expectations!
