Since we are almost completely switched over to our new Next Generation™ LED as we are calling them are a brand new 3 watt diode that offer us almost twice the light output as our previous LEDs.

Louis, you use the term "Next Generation™ LED" and all I think of is the placebo effect. Look at all the interest you've generated by doing nothing but throwing out a fancy name. For all we REALLY know, the products may be exactly the same.
I'm not knocking your products. I don't personally own any, but I've heard nothing but good things about your products and your company. But, from a person who does technical bid evaluations for a living I would be hard pressed to make a purchase decision based on a name (a reputation, yes - a name, no).

I understand what you're saying, but your terminology is a bit off. I personally don't mind when someone releases something in this manner...look at the threads generated by 3 second animated teasers from Feniex!

Jamey@NNE said:You should be able to notice twice the output though?
Do you have meter readings to back this twice the brightness claims?
FEVER said:even if twice brightness is not 100 percent true, I'm sure SNM's reputation as pretty much substantiated the fact that the leds will be significantly brigther if that is indeed what they are claiming.
Q2bman said:Maybe it's video trickery but the new one doesn't seem as bright! Weird. I can say I received a new "next generation" e66 and noticed a bit more intensity.
Any updates?Pyron said:No, I think they look exactly the same. You'd think that a 3 watt diode would have a noticeable difference between a 1 watt diode, even to the naked eye, which is why I still think the vendor is jacking. If there's a noticeable difference between the two E6 lights, then I would assume that you'd notice a difference in the E4 too. I'm sure we'll figure it out in the long run. Louis and SNM haven't steered me wrong yet; I don't expect them to now.
Strobesnmore said:I believe they were sent back and swapped out but that was handled by the guys in the receiving dept. The E6 and sticks are much more noticeable to the naked eye than the E3 and E4s. The New E6 Minis are the most noticable but they are not out yet as we completely redesigned the flange to be all cast aluminum and it will act as a heat sink so we can drive the diodes are much highter wattages. Eventually we will swap the other lights over to a new flange as well.
Our new interior bar sample came in with the new E6 Minis and those who saw it at the NE Chiefs show this past weekend will surely attest that its bright. Still working out a few details with mounts, wires, etc... but hopefully in a month or so it will be out.
