The best thing about it is for the accent LEDs, I can get almost any peak wavelength between deep red to amber or yellow for you.

Then if you want a warm white main light, I can do that. Or neutral. Or cool. Or blue! It's completely configurable. I'm thinking about having multiple price points for each stage.

Here's an example to give you guys a good idea of how much power is running through these things. Stage 2 and Stage 3 both have active cooling on top of the assembly. I have done rigorous thermal tests to ensure that both of the heatsinks and the cooling fan are keeping the LED junction temperature below the manufacturer's recommended temp, even in 140*F ambient temperature! At full tilt, Stage 3 draws almost 16 watts. I guarantee no one else has done the same development and testing on their options as this one.

If you notice in the top pictures, this is actually a full retrofit. This is not something that can be simply dropped in and working. It requires extensive modification of the dome light assembly. I'm thinking of either buying new cores, or letting people send me their dome lights. I believe I can keep the turn around time under 24 hours.
