Any thoughts of a handheld laser device in the future?

The one we are building will be handheld, though unwieldy. When/if the military wants to pay for a field-deployable one, we will make a portable, battery-powered version.

Very exciting! Keep us posted!

I have been an affiliate for you for a few months and I am a real scientist with an audience and an educator. I would like to work more with you, I just haven't reached out yet as I wanted to master my chroma D and then move on to the sky lights.

Great update and am a big fan of your products. Love how you are always pushing forward. Am curious, the lux vital is not a uva light correct? If not, curious if you have looked at the feasibility of a red/nir, uva (for tanning and opsin) and uvb (vit d) combination light?

It is UVA, but at the upper edge (385nm), and visible light is sometimes defined as 400-700nm, other times as 380-780nm. Not sure why. UVA goes all the way down to 320, but 380 is the neuropsin peak (OPN-5). The Chroma Trinity we are working on will be the everything combo light. Dr. Jack actually suggested we do the total combo a while ago and we held off due to trickiness with getting a switch for UVB, but we will have that.

Those visible light boundaries are fuzzy as it's very individualized - it's not a hard cutoff as in eg a responsivity chart for an InGaAs detector or something. Analogy would be boundaries of audible frequencies for humans - children commonly hear 15kHz+ but adults don't. I'm also a "real scientist" who is looking at ways to possibly work more or partner with you - I think it's criminal that the indoor lighting used (not to mention the constant sitting) is supposed to be somehow conducive to clear thinking and decision making. Thankfully my workplace has abundant natural light and outdoors space, but that's extremely rare - spent my PhD in a basement dungeon basically.

Awesome, definitely looking out for that one. Is the plan to keep the same 385nm in the Trinity then?

Great stuff . This has me excited. Time to start upgrading some of my Chroma inventory.

Love your products, but what really keeps me from buying everything is customs for us international customers which adds about 30% to the cost. Any plans for an EU warehouse?

How about we join forces and take out the border thugs together?

I was just about to send my CV to you when I read this. I think I can make it work. I mean the EU warehouse or shipping. I have been working as a business owner myself and I managed the whole business myself. Niw I am looking for a job.. The import customs can be played out with various methods. Let me know if you're still hiring.
