Also available in high intensity white. Either white or green for around £1.00 each as against £6.00+P&P for the others - no brainer really

They are NOT economical (as evidenced above)
Since when has Cyalume technology been outdated?
Been designed is one thing - being approved is something else -are they approved by the MOD or NATO?, Do thy have type approval and a NSN?
Do you wear a hard hat or helmet on your boat? - I don't except for a dog-earred baseball cap

Sorry but I will stick with economical, proven technology that is "type approved" and no amount of sales patter will change my mind

I can possibly see the point being made but with no personal technical knowledge to back any arguement up, I really cannot comment specifically.

Is it a bit like 'are flares o.k. because they've been approved whereas lasers are not because they are not approved' sort of thing?
