Maxspect Mazarra.

This is the e-mail I got from Salty Supply:


To our valued customers, the estimated ship date for the first batch of maxspect is around august 3-7th.

Just to let you know of few of the delays.
1. We had to readjust the mount for US tanks. Maxspect did not account for US frames on original mount. I will have pictures over later tonight on the new mounts
2. I had to slow down the shipment until I receive a production sample to go over any other changes.
1. Has to adjust backlight level on controller. It was too bright
2. LED connections were over tight causing some connection issues.
3. Changed to more robust led clamp. First production was recycled plastic became brittle with heat.
4. Cord holders for rails for neat installation was delayed.
5. A few other changes were made, and now finalized.

I want the fixtures to be 100% the first time around, without having to change or reship updates to customers.
We will have a much better finished product with a min of delay. End users will be much happier.


Personally, I'm glad that it is being held for more QA issues so that when we finally get it, it won't be marred by imperfections and frustration. I'd rather wait another 2-3 weeks for a better product than get a flawed product now.

I continue to wait eagerly for my new fixture!!!

Cheers,
John
 
How do u know u will get the first shipment? I also got the silver, 4 of them. The photo on ************ shows what i believe to be quick disconnects on the wires. Pretty Nice! Cant wait to get these!
 
wow, britle plastic... they did not know they were making a lamp?? they surely should have known by now which plastic to use.o well, i hope it kicks *** once it comes.
 
Has anyone received theirs yet? Also for those who got the silver, are you worried you will not be able to upgrade since it's a limited edition?
 
When I talked to Maxpect that other day, they said the "brittle plastic" was from the prototype parts that used recycled plastics. The actual production units are of a different compound. Originally they was trying to be as green as they could, but the recycled was not the best for the application.
I can't wait for mine to arrive.

I think the only difference is that the limited edition comes in the silver color vs. the standard black. I think all other components are the same... so I'm not that worried. I can't imagine they would actually punish early adopters by making it completely incompatible w/ future upgrades/bulbs.... well, at least I hope that is the case.

I can't wait for mine to come!!! Any day now!
 
Anyone from Europe (Germany) here? I'd like to know if you can import these without paying insane import fees. Most of the online shops ship worldwide, I just never did it. But this LED might be a first.

I don't think he is talking about difference in electronics on these fixtures. Its that you could end up with one black and everything else silver if you decide to upgrade six months from today....and that could look really odd.
 
I want 2 x S Series for my 2x2x2' 60 cube. I'm going to wait and let the early adopters be the testers before I jump.

I considered this when buying the white ones so I bought 4 of them. In the event I do need to upgrade, I think black matches white pretty well and an alternating color pattern would add some flavor.

Or totally cool! :) Yeah, I guess you'd have quite the hodge podge setup if that occurred.
