EDIT: Update at end of thread...
OK, though I've been down with this neck injury, I was still able to do some design work and parts ordering. The result is an all new design of the ILLPILL named the Illuminator SMD. This new circuit will come in two flavors; bright and brighter. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Actually, the High Output version is considerably brighter, and only sacrafices a few minutes of run time for extra intensity. However, the standard SMD itself is more powerful than the old ILLPILL too.
Enough said, here's the link to the sneek peek
I know there will be questions, so ask away.
And the first question everyone will ask is "How much?", so I'll answer that as best I can right now: "I have not received and quality tested all the parts yet, including Luxeons for completed modules, so I can not give you a firm price but do not expect any price increase from the ILLPILL price."
I hope to offer the initial complete SMDs with some very select BIN Luxeons, so hold on to your britches, the world of low cost high performance portable Luxeon lighting is almost at hand. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
