The Newbeam is a great product; slick, easy, innovative, etc.
Having acknowledged that, the Newbeam also seems to have the most rock steady regulation curve of any light anywhere - in other words, none. It's output remains plateau-flat for all 9-10 hours before declining.
So, my question is: How does it accomplish this to this extreme? No one elses regulation performs to this level of regulated output perfection. Why? Is it the low demands of the 3 leds? If so, why hasn't anyone else duplicated it in any other light?
And another one: Where IS Opalec these days? The Newbeam is very well engineered, ala Everled, maybe even better for a self contained drop in. Why haven't they ever released another product? I emailed this question to them awhile back and they said they were working on a blue version for theatre purposes, etc. Um, how hard is it to use blue leds in your existing product? We always ask, "Where's Mag?", etc. But where is Opalec?
