Depends on when I can get the whole thing going and if the price does not change to much.

I have to get Oxy's tank done before I can start on mine. Between our work schedules being so different it makes thing tough to get done but we are working on it.

Still playing the waiting game on the HEWs unfortunately. Almost two months now waiting on CREE. Apparently someone in North America is buying up every CREE white LED they can get their hands on and its having a huge knock on effect for everyone else. Its very frustrating.

HEW - High Efficiency Whites.

They are a new addition to the XP-E range of LEDs with output similar and very close to the brighter XP-G only with the power consumption of XP-E.

Finally some good news on the new whites. They have shipped, arriving in BC tomorrow, scheduled for assembly on Monday so I should have them by Wednesday next week

That will be the XP-G, XP-E HEW (Cool White and Neutral White).
