I'll wait and see. (And no, not everything was disproved at Doral).
Unfortunately I don't have any domestic use for a 200W electric light, even as an outdoor floodlight.
(What's the incandescent equivalent ... typically 10:1, ie 2000W ... maybe I'll set up an indoor grow!)
I'll order one for sure.
Rossi is brilliant in his own way.
In order to sell these, he says he has to have 1 million preorders.
Since there are only maybe a few hundred or so minions that believe him and will order this, he will get an orders of magnitude less preorders (in the physics sense of orders of magnitude, not the Rossi sense).
So when he fails to get the 1 million orders, he can blame his minions. You are not worthy!!!!.
P.S. Also, who would order from someone who we don't even know what country he is in?

Dear Andrea,
In your estimation, how close are you to having a completely reliable product?
Many thanks,
Frank Acland

There is going to be a lot of crow eating around here very soon. Eat slowly and savor your dinner.
For the non English-speaking members as follows:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_crow
Eating crow is a colloquial idiom, used in some English-speaking countries, that means humiliation by admitting having been proven wrong after taking a strong position. The crow is a carrion-eater that is presumably repulsive to eat in the same way that being proven wrong might be emotionally hard to swallow.
Does this brilliant 1 million unit E-cat "SKLed" launch qualify as crow eating worthy accomplishment?
PFD - I agree with your thinking. One million units at between $20 or $30 would mean $20 million for Rossi.
But of course he won't have one million units and he cannot sell one million units, which gives him the excuse to exit.
The other thing is the Orbo type scam where the the big day arrives and a few are sent out but then people complain the device is not working as expected. No problem just send the "faulty" device back then the scammer sends you a replacement - which amazingly also is not working as expected. After a week or so of this the scammer regretfully announces that all sales are halted due to unexpected product quality issues (you just cannot get the robots these days).
Having said that the Orbo scam was funded by nieve investors, who lost all their money.
Not sure what the point of this is for Rossi, is he hoping to make some money or just a Steorn type way to close down the show?
Dear Andrea,
Will it be possible to screw the SKLed module in a regular light bulb socket?
Thank you very much,
Frank Acland
Frank Acland:
No, but it will be possible to...
I guess Rossi never heard of one of these: (But there is no ground. I forgot the ground is where Rossi wires his extra power supply.)
It is often difficult to prove a negative. Just like Homer Simpson, I have a rock that keeps elephants away. I don't have any elephants around, so does that mean the rock works?
And as for proof that AR has nothing -- the entire IH / Doral episode proved, conclusively, that AR had nothing and was a fraud and conman.
The QX and SK came out of Doral.
I'll wait and see. (And no, not everything was disproved at Doral).
Unfortunately I don't have any domestic use for a 200W electric light, even as an outdoor floodlight.

I'll be ordering at least one, perhaps three, given they are about $30 each and the information revealed in 10 days seems ok. The output surely won't be 200 watts. Iirc 200 watt LEDs go for more than $100 at stores.
If the SKLed output 200W of light, that is easily converted to heat by enclosing it in an opaque, heat conducting and radiating box, and voila you have a 200W space heater that consumes (say) 20W.
I'm guessing the SKLed output will be something like 10 watts.
So when he fails to get the 1 million orders, he can blame his minions. You are not worthy!!!!.
Depending on what is revealed in 10 days and how the word gets out, this thing could go viral and preorders surpass 1 million units. It could surpass demand for a Covid-19 vaccine. 
R: It is designed to make light with a dramatically high efficiency, by orders of magnitude higher that the best existing LED illumination systems (220 LM/W).
ONE order of magnitude = 220 * 10 LM/W * 200W = 440,000 LM
(Of course, in Rossi-speak "orders" might mean 10% )
I found a table at https://www.rapidtables.com/ca…ht/how-lumen-to-watt.html
3000 LM = 200W Incandescent Watt (iW .. my term)
440,000 LM = (200W/3000LM )*440,000 LM = 30 K iW !!??????
Seems .... a wee bit high, even for AR. I suspect there's a Rossi-Unit factor in there somewhere.
The other thing is the Orbo type scam
I am laughing now thinking about how once again, Frank Ackland will likely get sucked in to testing the SKLed, just like he got sucked into the Orbo debacle. Weeks of testing a fake device, trying to rationalize why it doesn't work.

It’s exactly like the Orbo, but instead of a magic box it’s a magic light. Will AR put it up for benchmark testing? Of course not, he needs to sell a million units first.
LED technology is great with a lot of interesting aspects to how they work. Below is a good place to learn about them, AR’s JONP is not.
I'm inclined to think that by 200W he means "Incandescent" watts (iW above) rather than "input power" watts.
The input power to get 200 iW is reduced by a factor 1/COP, or expressed inversely, the LED efficiency is multiplied by COP.
Even I don't believe he's into fundamental semiconductor manufacturing.
The simplest explanation is that Rossi doesn't know what he's saying.
He shoots numbers at random to impress believers but when someone points out that they are bullshit he modifies the meaning.
Rossi will very soon release a picture of the SKLed and the specs, and that is when preorders will be started.
My hunch is that he will do this on March 23 2021, the 32nd anniversary of the F&P announcement.
As usual I expect this "announcement" on JONP and ECW only, just reaching out to his brave followers. Tough job to collect from Frank Acland & Co 1 mio+ orders, to be honest 
Would be a complete surprise for me, to see and read his announcement in other business or mass media, or in some CNN, Fox or other news around the globe.
BTW: who is interested in buying an Ecat, can simply go to the Leonardo Website to check what products are still available for sale and ordering. Who cannot wait - give it a try!
I am not sure if all that historic stuff is outdated anyway, since he is now in the LED lights business (with grid powered LEDs! not powered in SSM by his SK gadget)...as Bod Dylan sang long ago: "The Times They're A Changin'" - could be Rossi's theme as well
Rossi will very soon release a picture of the SKLed and the specs, and that is when preorders will be started.
Nothing news, Rossi's tactics based on picture, specs and pre-orders (followed by nothing on the shelves) started at least 10 years ago.
About old and forgotten "masterpieces", his website has already shown.

He's familiar with this kind of licking in order to curry favour with his gullible fans.
Don't have the picture at hand, but I am sure many here still remember the first provided picture of his QX invention back in the Doral days in the container? Was a little bright blurry blue light...so 5 years later he seemed to find out it was a LED? Back to the roots! 
Unbelievable. Mats is still giving Rossi compliments? I guess when you write the Rossi Gospel according to Mats, it is hard to turn back.
But seriously, how can someone with an engineering physics degree and who claims to be a technology journalist still not come out and admit he was defrauded?
He is looking like a complete fool now, until he writes the sequel "An Impossible Invention, A Certain Fraud"..
And what about the Swedish scientists who helped convince me that Rossi was for real before I came to my senses? Which cave have they hidden in?
Dear Andrea,
The news on the E-Cat SKLed is interesting. My compliments.
As for the need and demand for clean (non-fossil) electricity, apart from lighting, transportation, and heating, and industrial applications such as steel production, one important use today is in data centers.
Please let me refer to a radio report by BBC on this topic, to which I contributed, covering the establishment of huge data centers by Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and others in Sweden because of the cheap and fossil-free electricity we have in our country.
Mats Lewan:
Very interesting, thank you,
Warm Regards,
A.R.

Yes, being part of Rossi’s clan he continues supporting Rossi’s farce.
