Just got off the phone with Lumileds technical support, and the rep I spoke with said that the 5 watt technical problems HAVE BEEN RESOLVED, and they will be released starting in late October. She assured me that this is a firm date.
I told her that I had lately heard that they would not be available until December, or possibly early 2003, and she assured me that this was not the case.
She mentioned Future, and said that any new orders with Future may not be filled until early next year, but that orders would be filled in the order in which they were received. Therefore longtime existing orders should be filled fairly soon. New orders may take a while longer.
I inquired about the technical reasons for the delay, and she would not give me specifics, other than saying they did not meet specifications. When I asked about the emitters "popping", she said she was not aware of this - only that they did not meet specs.
Don't know if this will persuade people NOT to back out of their CPF group buy, but this is something to consider.
I like having my money in hand, but I'd also rather have my Stars in November as opposed to waiting till March.
