Dear Community,

For those who ordered one, Lampix will arrive in time for the holiday season! We will be shipping new devices no later than 15 December. While the hardware has already passed safety testing, the backlog of EMC certification has meant a slight delay in the arrival of the new machines. We are however, extremely happy to see the excited anticipation of our fans. Thank you again for your continued support on this journey.

We’re also excited to share details on the progress we’ve made in the past month, including our CTO and Co-Founder Mihai Dumitrescu’s keynote about the Lampix Vision at Cluj IT Days 2018.
