Ok Moe, tally up what people want and how many and we'll start an official thread for this group buy. Put me down for 1 of the cheapest ones.

It seems only a few units have been asked for....we need about 12...I believe we're at 2-3...so start the official GB and let's get this going :) I don't want to be without it come fall/winter.

I'm a little late replying to this thread but trying to find out if a group buy was ever started and if so is it still going or has it been closed. Have been considering getting an IR lamp and a group buy would probably help twist my arm.:cool:

I wonder what the weight of the unit is!?! It would be interesting to see if we could set it up on a boom light stand!?

Boom light stand. I have this light stand setup with 2 LEDs. According to the manufacturer it has a 12 lbs load max though.

Like that light stand as that would work great for me. Question is where did you get the end setup for the LED lights as it doesn't appear to come with the light stand.
 
Hi bigmitch, I'm not sure if a group buy happened or not, but I would suggest sending a pm to Moe and Dr. Pain in case they miss your interest here.
 
I'm not saying I'm in, but when I started reading about FlyBy curing with IR or a heat gun I looked at the 1500 Watt 1615. I may end up doing more than just my (and my F&F's) cars. I think my threshold for justifying it would fall somewhere around three paid coated paint jobs a year, or perhaps ten windshields.

Let me know if this gets going again.
 
The group buy idea is DEAD and most that participated in the attempt ended up getting IR lamps on their own as they could not wait it out (include me in there). I actually bought 2 Infratech 1615 (1500 watts)

They do have some limitations (biggest one is that they don't support the weight of the bulb well). Check out Zach's DIY for details. http://carproforum.com/showthread.php?48-DIY-LED-Work-Light
 
Thread Bump, but what is the cure time of CQ UK with lamps as opposed to sitting in the garage for at least 24 solid hours ?

Does IR cut the cure time by half ?
Or even more - as in X hrs ?

IR makes it harder a lot faster but doesn't fully cure it in every sense. It does however cut the time in approximately half for general considerations.

Using Reload can also alleviate concern of water spots if you release sooner.
