Thank Coolguy

AIB V3 is clearly brighter and I think $60 is worth 1/2 times brighter (maybe more ) plus solid construction
Let's see how long it will last as it is a very recent product, not properly tested I think.

I feel bad for posting the comparison pics.. I hope Umnitza don't get hit with this.. I just hope both Umnitza and AIB stay in Angeleyes business long.. more competition better for customer

Now.... we have to wait for ICE v3

no dont be, i think this is what gets good products out in the market, competition. Maybe umnitza will eventually come out with an even product than aibv3...umnitza has claimed that his products are the brightest on the market its nice to see a comparision from an unbiased side.

thanks!

Also, Just to let every one know... Umnitza ICE v2 is still very resonably priced at $200 shipped.. So they are not bad at all as you can see in pics.. its much better than OEM Angeleyes...

This is how I see it... Umnitza ICE v2 is good product, CustomAngeleyes v3 is premium product for $60 more

Yah, thats what remains to be seen now.. seems AIB had quality issues before w/ v1 and v2.. hopefully those wont be repeated on v3..

I'd like to congratulate Coolguy for his even handed approach on this.

I'm going to go back to the drawing board and I think I'll go ahead and make the difference in price different significantly.

Given the results, within 2 weeks, I will have something a LOT brighter than either of the V2 or the competition.
I've never stopped going forward and this just gives me another reason to do so.
