New Ikelite Strobes!?

Hello everyone

I heard a rumour,  by now about three times from different sources (incl. Ikelite), that Ikelite is working on a new strobe project. Does anybody know more about it?
At least a timeframe, when to expect any official information?

I'm in the market for new strobes but if it's a reasonable waiting time, then I'll wait. One rumour said that they will be top of the line, comparable to other manufacturers but smaller and lighter than the DS161...

My alternative would be the Inon Z330.

Thoughts?

That would be cool. I love my 161's and they're bombproof it seems. But they've been around a while and they ARE heavy. I lighter version, with brighter video lights would be awesome.

DEMA is November 13-16, so I would imagine they would release any new product then.

There is not much new information but there is some and a picture:

In short:
- They say brighter, wider and smaller.
- Will be compatible with existing battery packs, sync cords, and TTL converters.
- Coming in early-to-mid-2020

I'm a bit surprised that there is nothing about weight, I'm sure they would try to go lighter?

I guess I'll wait for those to be available.
