<p>Well, it's been more than a year and a half since I posted last. I know I said this a time or two before, but believe it or not, I am still working on my color changing lamps. I hope no one's been holding their breath. So while I've had a couple years of my life wasted by worthless bottle manufacturers, I've been working on small design tweaks here and there on the lamp design itself. I finally have a good bottle manufacturer. The bottles are being made by a scientific glassware company, out of actual Corning Pyrex Borosilicate, 5mm thick. They are indestructible. I've tweaked the body shape some, and refined the electronics quite a bit. I have my current prototypes running with all controls stuffed into the body, and have gotten rid of the external control box. Hoping to get the kickstarter running by the end of the summer.</p>

<p>Basically the betas will show one or two more models which will be available, a couple possible base color combinations each, better LED colors, and a redesigned control box. This box is just one of those project boxes you buy at radio shack or whatever. I'm thinking about laser cutting wood boxes, which will have my logo laser etched on them. I figure I'll have 3 or 4 stain colors available for the wood.</p>

<p>I'm back with a long over due progress report. Things have been progressing slowly, mostly because of the bottles. Basically, the company I was working with wasted a good six months of my time, saying they could make the bottles the way I wanted, but could not in the end. The picture in the last post shows a bottle they made, which had the top too tall, preventing my outer cap from fitting. They re-made the mold, but other parts weren't right still.

<p>I'm back with a long over due progress report. Things have been progressing slowly, mostly because of the bottles. Basically, the company I was working with wasted a good six months of my time, saying they could make the bottles the way I wanted, but could not in the end. The picture in the last post shows a bottle they made, which had the top too tall, preventing my outer cap from fitting. They re-made the mold, but other parts weren't right still. I had to go somewhere else. I am working with a new company, and they are able to get it mostly right. I just received the first run of sample bottles from them this week. They are usable for now. I want to tweak one or two small things about it in the future, though.</p>
<p>I have my first three alpha prototypes built. I am now about to start building the beta prototypes which will go in my kickstarter video. There are a few things that will be refined between the alpha and beta models, and more details will be tweaked when production actually starts. </p>
<p>Here are some pics showing the colors. I still don't have a good way to get video actually showing the colors change, but each lamp will do all the colors.</p>

<p>Well, they take forever, but I finally got a picture of my bottle. The first one from the manufacturer. They said they had a problem at first getting the neck to come out right. They had to change something in their mold or blowing process. They say I should have my run of samples in a couple of weeks. I hope they have the dimensions right. I've got the heater control circuit built as well. It'll be pulse width modulation with a potentiometer knob for adjustment. I'm still truckin'…</p>
