Well, it's been a very long time as we all know and I'm sure the list would change a good bit once it's revealed whether or not individuals are still interested. CPF member gjg has offered to help me contacting people to get a more viable list for everyone to follow. I'm going to have names grayed if there is no response in 2 weeks and removed after 2 months of no contact.

Does this seem fair or should I take a different approach? I certainly don't want to loose any customers or upset anyone.

Seems fair if you attempt to contact members via PM and/or email, most semi-active members chack in every two weeks at least....or I would think. I guess you will have to upgrade emitter choices this time also huh?

If I may be so bold, I would like to suggest that due to the widespread availability of Q5 cool white Cree LEDs and now decent bins in warm white 3A, 5A, 7A etc. that if there is to be an emitter option it is based around choosing the tint (which may sacrifice output of course) rather than the brightness bin. The scene is just different from when this project was conceived. Gone are the days of paying $30 or more for a cutting edge 3W LED. (Lux III U bin - remember?)

I understand that any options at all make the building process logistically more complex, so I for one would understand if you just wanted to make it 'one size fits all'.

I'll have to do some shopping around to find what bins are available. I have Q4 WH's and Q2 WD's on hand and will consider those as the base level emitters at the moment. Until I re-coupe some funds that will be what I'll start with. I'll have to do some list jumping for the first few customers and then I'll order some more premium bins and start with the customers I skipped.

Want a Q4 WH or a Q2 WD?

Hello All:
If you're on the list and want a Q4 WH or a Q2 WD please PM me or e-mail me at [email protected]. Also include your shipping address. As Eric mentioned, I will do my best to keep shipping/build info flowing to give him time to build our new toys!
Thanks for your patience,
Greg :D:D:D

PS - even if you are low on the list, a quick Q4/Q2 won't be a problem!

I'm still in.

Since I'm way down on the list, I'd like to change my preference to latest available bin, and you can erase my tint preference (I'll revisit that later, if there's more than one option).

I also want to agree with gswitter!

I think you should start a new thread with product info in the first post and buyer list in the second post. This one is pretty long already.

Just my opinion - Greg

I'm still in. I'm #6 on the list. I'd still like a low 0f 50, 1.5 high and head only. What I need to decide is emitter choice. I'll patiently wait for MillerMods to come up with a revised emitter choice list and pricing to make that determination. Preference wise, I'd choose an emitter that was white (cooler side) with no artifacts (ie, no yellow rings). Standing by for pricing and emitter choice updates.
