Group Buy: Budget CRI 95 LED Strip Lights

[Brandon J.F.]

Hi Brandon,
tried sending you an email about getting the fixed strips soon, as I may need them for a shoot, but I just received a "mail failure" message, so I guess you didn't get it.

Would you be able to send me the 3 fixed (2 D + 1 T) strips I ordered soon ? The variable ones can wait.

Please let me know if that's possible. I'm in France. Sorry to bother you with this.

Thanks,
Nils.

Weird. I'll email you right now, Nils.

Thanks Brandon, sorry again about that, I know you have a lot to do already...

Did you get the email I just sent?

 

[Nils Ruinet]

I don't have it. Looks like my domain expired. I haven't gotten any email in a couple days, but was out of town and didn't notice. Fortunately, I just got it fixed before the domain dropped. I should be getting any missed emails as soon as the DNS settings are restored and propagate (not more than a day). I'm sure glad you posted here, Nils! Thank you!

 

[Nils Ruinet]

No worries Brandon
I just sent you a PM in case you didn't get my email. Please let me know if everything is ok.

Thanks !

The Latest:

The controller software updates are done.

The new PCB is done.

The new case molds will be in on Tuesday.

I don't have the exact date that a finished unit will be sent to me, but it will be very soon. As soon as I sign off on it our production run begins.

Oh, and I got a flood of messages once my email got restored. I'm working on getting caught up on that and PMs too.

The end is near!

 

[Terry VerHaar]

The end is just the beginning!!

Brandon,
Do you think we can expect a delivery by May or mid-May?

Brandon,

Definitely May. As soon as I sign off on the controller our production run will start. It will take ~2 weeks to finish.

Just finished the diy China ball Striet light. Sans China ball. Weighs 1.5 pounds.

I have pictures!

(there will be a paid job added to this, so you'll need to use your imagination a little)

I made some design changes to beef this up for production use.

Gone is the exposed printed circuit board:

(the antennas can be unscrewed)

The terminals are now recessed and protected. Check this out:

No more Dip Switches either. They are all gone.

There is one problem though:

I hate the position of the switches. The PCB was done by engineer who apparently gave no thought to the position of the switches.

They can fix it. It will take, "...probably 1 week. 2 at most."

Should we wait?

At this point, my vote is to wait to get it fixed. Everything else is great about this unit. I know I have screwed up our schedule trying to get this perfect, but I know you guys are going to love these. There is nothing else on the market like this at any price.

Let me know your thoughts! We are 99% there!
