Re: Your prediction for 2004?
...Lumileds will release a 15w LS that is based on a 4 x 3W die. Vf will be ~6V.
The McGizmo will ooh and ahh us MANY times, but will really impress us with the McLux TK II with integral GPS and ATM capabilities.
Chop and CM will be in a race to see who can overdrive the 15W LS to 50W @ 8A in an ARC AAAA.
DSpeck will release the UBH III. It will include adapters for 123A, AAAA, AAA, AA, C, D, N, 9V, 12V, and AC connections between ALL series of Surefire, ARC, Pelican etc, and cost will be < $100 (canadian $ of course)
Someone from CPF will be featured on AMW.
AlphaTea will hit the lottery and move out of this Hell Hole of NY state to someplace where they dont sell snow shovels at Wal-Mart
