And aside from themselves (and you), who says it would be a good thing for them to be a Tier-1 supplier? And why, what makes you say so? Would it be good to see Nabisco looking to become a lighting Tier-1, too? How about Wrigley's? Trojan? Marlboro? Budweiser?
Why would it be a bad thing? If, after becoming a Tier 1 supplier, any of the companies you mentioned are supplying quality compliant products then I don't see how that could hurt anything. I most certainly see ways it could help.
Im sorry thats not true at all. Go look at some of the beam shots of LED bulbs and even low quality Chinese HID bulbs crammed in HID projectors that many people are posting on other forums. Most of them that I have seen do not have a beam no where near as good that shot that they show in that link. 99% of the pics I have seen have a bright hotspot right in the lowest portion of the beam, that would translate into intense foreground, and no light in the center portion of the beam right under the cutoff kink that would translate into the beam thrown farthest down the road. Of course you can not tell when a beam is compliant by looking at a wall shot, but you can tell, in many cases, when it is not compliant.Not really. Just about any light source crammed into a projector will produce a wall shot like this very easily with any camera.
I have bought from TRS multiple times in the past but I tend to shy away from them now because pretty much everything they sell is very low quality as everyone here knows. That does not mean they will never and can never produce anything good though and I for one am glad to see any signs that they are moving in that direction.
