Gear Head RC Trail Torch LED Lightbar

Eta

ETA?

I don't want to promise an exact date and not be able to meet or beat it. At this point, we are about 6 weeks away from shipping finished parts.

On a personal note, my wife and I are in the process of buying a home, so my world will be turned upside down and I will have limited access to my shop for the next 4 weeks.

wow, that is awesome, ive been piddling in my romm trying to figure out this leds and resistors on crap, but nvrm now. that is awe, exactly what i wanted. post it up when complete!
 
Any updates? What will the pricing be?

Thanks "thumbsup"
 
I set up a simple comparison between my lightbar and a mini-maglite. I set my camera to the exact same shutter speed, aperture, etc:

f/4.5
1 second exposure
ISO 200
no flash

Here'e the comparison of brightness, spread and distance:

Hi Guys,

Here's an update. Machine shop is expecting to have parts completed in three weeks. I have the PCBs with LEDS completed. At this point, these should be available the first or second week in September. I'll keep everyone posted if it's sooner!

2" version is conceivable. We'll see how this version goes...

A shorter version would be easy to do.

At this time, they are only available complete. If we have enough requests, we will consider selling the PCB only.
