* 7-13-03 -- Nearly all W3V McModules have been tested and potted and the first ones will ship Monday, July 14, 2003; Thank You all for your patience...

* 7-12-03 -- All built, see latest post...

*The Build has commenced, contructing one or two here and there in between the jet skiing, horseback riding, ATV'ing, Luau'ing, drinking, sushi'ing, and all the other touristy stuff we been a-doin' (for picture proof, see post #471 of this thread)...

*Got all the parts in, and although I am entertaining a certain very important guest and his family who are in town right now, I did find time to trial-produce a couple of the McModules tonight -- see latest post near the end.

*Don has kindly acquiesced and allowed me to name this mod, so it is now officially called the -- McModule...


Those premium W3-binned Lambertians are finally here!


Naturally a little proof is in order:

I've been bursting at the seams to share the good news as I am so overwhelmingly excited about this, and having just hit the big five-oh last year (hey, Hawaii 5-0!), nothing much excites me any more.

However, I must now respectfully request that you kindly not contact me regarding these emitters.

You see, I had originally planned to use them in a huge 50-unit run of the absolutely brightest El Primo Space Needles ever, but thankfully common sense (as well as a much smaller-format 5W mod run being developed as I write this) has prevailed, so I am just showin'em off for the moment... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Other than a little proprietary built-in resistance, I have maintained all along that what really distinguishes my mods from the others is simply the quality of the Luxeons themselves. Quality that I am not ashamed to prostitute myself through hook, crook, line, sinker, and cold hard cash to obtain.

And they're finally here! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif

Re: W3V Bin Code 5W\'s !!!

I found Mr Bulks first post a little worrying

(<font color="red">The initial post was quickly removed and a new photo taken after the package from Lumileds was "cleaned up" a little</font>)

Here is a copy of the original I dug out of my cache:

Good cache capture, x-ray.

Whether through hook, crook, line, sinker, or cold hard cache an agreement is an agreement.
