These guys are very new. I can’t find any information on the company and details on the product are sparse. I would definitely “wait and see”, but their ideas look really impressive.

I’ve had some communications with the company. Here is what I can share.

Fixture - Technical data:

- LED panel consists of 4 LED boards.
- Each LED board consists of 15 led chips (6 White XPG, 6 XPE Royal Blue, 3 XPE Blue) - see LED Panel v03.jpg
- Each color on each board is controlled separately allowing us to create moving sun, moon or clouds simulation
- MeanWell Power supply
- WiFi wireless connectivity allowing for iPhone, iPad connection etc

If you remember in the past we emailed you the pics of LED boards/panel - see LED Panel v03.jpg attached file - these were first article boards from the manufacturer.

I am attaching the new led that is our production LED board - see attached LED Panel v06.jpg - you can see a shadow of the person taking the pic and also the white sticker will be taken off. We requested to make bigger thermapads and add two additional screw holes in the middle.

Pictures are clickable

From what I understand, the lights are in limited distribution now - meaning that they are being installed locally so that the manufacturer can control the environment. I believe they are set for general distribution this coming week, but I haven't got final confirmation. I have a light on order and I was told that it would ship next week.

The retail price is $1099USD per module + shipping. The lights require a $99 wifi adapter to interface with your PC for programming.

It may be possible to arrange introductory group buy pricing, but I don't have any details on this yet either.

Yeah, it has finally arrived. I think I am more excited than you are. I can't wait till you set it up. Whats your thoughts so far comparing the 2 units?
