WooooW
Next time I will wear a bullet proof vest before posting something.
Maybe I won't post anything at all if this is the result.
I think that I explained myself, if something was missinterpreted I am sorry again, but....
you are climing way too high on the barricades to defend the company you represent.
It looks like you take the opportunity created by the negative trend towards Truck Lite in this thread and make of it a marketing campaign. You kept quiet while the discussion was about your competitor as it served you well, but the moment JWS was mentioned as a Truck Lite competitor one time in one sentece you jumped out from the bushes and started to shoot in all directions.
All I was trying to say, if you will read the post is that most of the few approved headlights are still not perfect.
I don't know if anybody is aware of this, but the optical issues are practically solved, specially with new LED technologies available in the last year or so.
But all of the few headlamps approved (at least in Europe) are not yet perfect.
It appears as the biggest issue this technology still has is the heat dissipation, and for this reason most headlamps can't pass the tests. The 2 or 3 types approved use active cooling, fans, which in a practical day by day use can't last for long time, not in engine's surrounding or road environment.
According to what you claim, you are holding in your hands the holy grail of the automotive LED light industry and maybe you are not aware of that.
So you tell us about testing done by Osh Kosh and Navistar during the last year, nice, very nice indeed - while you play testing Truck Lite sold over 250K headlights this is what you should be concerned of. AMG is using them as standard, so is BAE. Where have you sold except for testing and shows? I am attending most miltary shows, I haven't seen JWS booth anywhere, no lamps installed in any vehicle except for one Navistar truck, no rewiews of your lamps anywhere - so what is the problem?
If you bothered to follow the discusion, as incoherent as it was or not, it was about regulations and other issues related specifically to headlights - I see no reason for your attack, unless what you mean to say is "hey, guys, whoever owns a tank we have better lights for it".
This is to mobilecenter who bothered to register to CPF just to make things clear about the superiority of his product... sorry, the product he represents.
Now, I need to make an explanation about several things I posted:
I never make a comment or express an opinion if I am unable to stand behind it.
Regarding my comments on the existing headlamps from Lexus and Audi/VW, who said that are experts in this field, working at one of the world's most respectable car testing facilities.
So Scheinwerfermann, you can believe it or not, unfortunately I can't comment on this further as I am signed on an NDA.
Let's not forget that I work in a company that develops military products, some opinions are based on practical experience, but except for "touching" subjects from time to time I can't develop the issues for obvious reasons - for example what problems active fan cooling presents in a military vehicle. Believe me I have a lot of experience with this, enough to say that a headlight with active cooling in a miltary environment is far from being the perfect solution.
Mobilecentre, I'm sure by now you've noticed the difference -- in this thread and others -- between those on this board who know what they're talking about and those who don't.
If you are talking about me, than thanks, but I will not get dragged to long explanations as I don't need to prove myself or publish my CV and let everybody decide if I do know what I am talking about or not. If this is the way you see things, then I don't understand why you spend your time answering me.
