Guys,
I thought about this thread some...and NOW - I got the message loud and clear ... so I just finished designing a new Optical Ignition Cut-off switch tonight. I am ordering boards overnight...
Some guys just want optical kill and seperate batteries - to be sure there is no EMI/RFI interference - there is no issue with the IBEF but I understand the reasons to be skeptical and safe.
The IBEF is outselling the optical switches but there are still a lot of optical switches being sold to people who just want an optical kill switch to be safe. I just got the numbers yesterday and was surprised how many were being sold...so I am going to offer both... the IBEF is a better solution but for the doubters and conservative folks I am going to offer an optical cut off as well.
So, I have a new optical cut-off that will be shipping in about 4-6 weeks. Many advantages over the other ones on the market and the lowest cost on the market. I will have samples next week... anyone want to be a beta tester? (get product at half price if you promise to post and provide feedback)....
I still think the IBEF is a better solution but I am here to give people what they want...so this product is on the fast track... less than 6 weeks until inventory at distributors with a $29.95 MSRP...

I have one of your IBEF's but have yet to install it. I encourage you to continue to develop new products and I look forward to what you come out with in the future. Just remember that it may take some time before the profits start to really pour in.
Anyone who uses their knowledge and expertise to design new products for us should be welcomed. It only helps our hobby.
Keep up the good work!
