1 million is not enough. 5 million is not. Once I reach 15 million, I'll rethink things. At this point, A51 makes roughly 500k a year, steadily growing, but 15 million is many, many years away.
I recently got an offer from a factory, they sent me an email about a week ago, and it wasn't the general spammy "look at my Chinese crap" with tons of pics from Alicrappa, he was quite nice and addressed me with respect and wanted to work with A51 sincerely. I can't say who, I made them sign a NDA just to talk to me, I signed it too, I respect agreements, so....
They are offering to pay for just about everything, housing case molds, parts, everything, A51 pays for the LEDs that would be used.
I am about 45% sure I want to do something, nothing regarding the Vero 29 lamps, those are already being built somewhere else, as we speak... This would be a specialty lamp of sorts.
My idea, just an idea, this would be a far red initiator, with a deep red waker upper, both on separate circuits. I've never tested either, but others apparently have and say it works. Is this something that y'all would like to see? Are there better ideas? Nothing that would conflict with the current A51 plans, which can be found here, in detail:
