Some of you already are privy to this but we figured we'd put it out there for the rest of the folks since it's such a topic of interest here at the office.
Predator ICE V3 is just around the corner.
It will be 2X brighter than V2 at the preliminary prototype phase.
We expect release in early to mid October.
What are the differences?
A new generation LED, with over 2X the total lumen output of the existing 5W units in the Predator ICE V2
No more external resistors - ala ICE V2, Mycarr, or even some Mtecs.
A newly redesigned aiming lens with higher polish optics for better beam distribution.
A simpler connection (unlike the 2 headed extra wiring from the ICE V2)
A narrower more easily installed BODY of the product for improved ease of installation.
We have already begun shipments of the new E90 units:
And here's the difference in output.
You can clearly see that for the first time, the new ICE units are no longer just equal in brightness to the factory, but they are brighter (and this only a prototype, the final release is 20-30% brighter still).
No preorders at this time, but we will announce them on this thread very shortly.

For the LCI models, we have the prototype completed but it's not ready to even release photos of it.
Just another little bit and we'll be there. Once there, we'll post updates here as well.

we're trying to hold price at or around the current $149.
But, once the final production is finished, we'll likely do a special pre-order for them.
Those with V2 will have a trade in price as well.

testing for 24 hours has been completed on these parts, no failures on all 3 types (E90 - fully released, E92/E60 in proto stage, and E39/E60 style preLCI).

The Final Prototypes arrive today. The Mtec V2, Rdash, and Mycarr units will be compared so you can make your decision.
We are going to do an introductory price for these units as well as an upgrade price.
Stay tuned!
