The new units arrived today.
1 was a full RGB version - full color shifting real time - perfect for night shows, gatherings, and for fun - since it's easy to plug and play, we're going to do a special on the regular kit and couple it with the RGB kit for fun.
I did the video today and will post it shortly.
The newest version is still not to my liking but certainly a lot brighter than V2 - this was accomplished by using a larger (XXXX) can't say exactly. I'm going to ask for an increase of another 30-40% and see if that gives me finally what I'm looking for.
Those that have older versions, we will have a trade in problem based on a few factors that we will disclose soon - no upgrade will cost you more than $50 but some of you might be entitled to a free upgrade <-- yes, FREE.
For example, if you purchased V1 for $99, well, your upgrade will cost you $50, if you purchased V2 very recently, and never installed it, then you would only be responsible for shipping to us, and we'll handle the rest
But don't email us yet, we're still testing it all out.
Video will be up shortly.

It's not a wholesale change, just a minor tweak that will yield really good results.

I can't predict the final output or the swap - if we will have a price (pre-V2) upgraders, etc. still working out all the details.

I've been on vacation for a bit.
The new units are being built, we're still selling quite a few of the V2 units that we still had in stock, 20 this week, so we've been a bit behind on the update, it will be here shortly.

Ok, guys, I've got some developments that will positively knock you on your butts again.
I'm not going to divulge them, but let's just say, we now know exactly why our product did not "appear" brighter in a test on the E60 by coolguy. But I will divulge the following:
1) LCI is coming tomorrow for testing - final testing for the E60s.
2) We had a customer come by with the V3 from the "competitor" and the claim of 3X is accurate - except that it uses a 3W bulb LED now and not the 5W in our Predator ICE V2.
3) We have a simple, easy to upgrade plan for V2 Predator ICE that will take FULL advantage of our superior light output and have finally discovered why on some cars (e60) the superior light output of the V2 is not being fully utilized.
It tuns out there is some tomfoolery going on out there that you guys will need to know about. So, don't buy ANYTHING yet until you hear the results we have.
As a sneak peak, I'm going to post an image, and I'm going to let you speculate on this image which product you see on there:
