Also, I haven't been up to much else because I've had Nichia beating a hot path to my door with all kinds of samples. I can't say much beyond that, but let's just say be prepared for something potentially incredible.

Some of these samples are special monochromatic versions of new white-diode product made just for me They did their research on my company rather thoroughly! This 630nm is OUTSTANDING, even on raw battery power. The 460 is quite awesome as well.

I'm going to try to convince them to get into 660nm and 420nm production. I rather like the idea of the inventors of the white diode and stabilized blue diode working on my needs! Especially with input/output efficiencies reaching and exceeding 50% (for every 1w input power 500mW is emitted as radiant flux) even in their lowest-binned stuff, that's something I cannot turn down.
