Think ViperZ wants to step up his game? Or attract passing alien aircraft?

So not right now, but thanks for thinking about me

Just curious if there are any bulk buy discounts? Would be nice if we can work out something like a Canada and USA group buy to save on price and shipping.

I heard a korean company just released a 100lm/W LED.
Operating at 16W means 1600 lumens from a bank of these, you're out gunned.

Maybe not next year either:
As of 2005, the company projected to start shipping a 100 lm/W high-power product around 2010.
Top 10 reasons to Consider Lupine Edison HIDThen there is that too

2) OCP to the max ! No bracket left behind.
3) smaller
4) lighter
5) brighter
6) best charger. Too much to list here.

$18 over my limit.

I'll give you the $18!
Thanks for the offer. Buy me a drink when I come back east.
I actually take back what I said in the other thread. I'm gonna use the TrailTech for the rest of the winter/dark season and then see what light prices and new lights are like for next year. When it works and is installed it is fine for the riding I do (suburban with some streetlight or rural with no light, but other riders too)

Maybe it'll just blow the pcb and give out right in the middle of a 40mph descent...
Fortunately I don't do 40mph decents on my fixed gear.
Otherwise its break and hope.
But seriously, is there any data (vs. anecdote) that the TT is less reliable than the L&M?
Al
Did you check out the links I sent you in your thread about the light dieing? Have you seen any reports like that, and so many, from any other light manufacturer?
These were mainly about lights that folks pieced together from batteryspace, using some different and some same components or older versions of the packaged version compared to the current batteryspace packaged Eclipse TrailTech 10W HID with Li-ion battery.
The problem I had (a broken PCB) has nothing to do with the problems discussed in those threads, which required an design change to fix.
Where are the reports, other than mine, of the 'packaged' system having failures?
