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.

time for ice v3 already??? wow when is AIB v4 coming out then? maybe i should wait for that!

I think you should wait for V3 ICE <--- I'm not going to let a minor set back as a "round" loss deter me from improving the product output.
Besides, we're still going to have the least expensive upgrade in history. $50 to go from V1 to V2 or V3. That's right, only $50, you send your unit in, get a new one and it's only $50. Most of you with V1s will probably spend 1/2 what you would have spent for 2 products from us vs 1 from anyone else

But, that said, kudos are in order when they are in order and Round 1, we are a 9 on the card and the competitor is a 10.

as expected funny how that 1watt bulb supposedly was brighter than umnitzas claimed 60000000 watt bulb.



anyhow, im glad we put this to rest.

congrats AIB as always one step ahead of the competition.

On a technical level, a 5W bulb is 5X brighter than a 1W bulb, so Our V1 was brighter than their V1, our V2 was brighter than their V1 or V2. 1 time we have something that isn't as bright, and we admit it and will beat the engineers over the ears to make it better.

This latest version of the other product may not use a 1W any more. We are going to fix a few important things in this and have something much brighter

remember the old adage? beauty is skin deep but ignorance is incurable?
Enough RJ, I humbly admit we are not the best and you have the nerve to come in and bash again. Shows the true content of your character.
