ok got bad news! sorry!
I just talked to the lady to make sure she is ok with our order since its almost 1000 leds and she said its fine. but then i asked her how long it takes for them to be ready and she said the size of the order to mount on stars takes a couple days! doh

so sorry for everyone that was hoping to get them before the 17th, ill try to get her to speed up the star mounting process. im going to push to get them to everyone before Christmas.

group buy is closed, collecting money from the last couple people and order will go out soon.

Order is out, LEDs are in the process of getting mounted to stars.

FYI anyone that missed the LED group buy ill be doing another group buy mainly because of all the interest I got and also I think im going to start LEDing all kinds of stuff up and my company got interested because we are redoing buildings with LEDs.

So i created a website www.ledgroupbuy.com

ill probably do another one early January that ends late January.

I dont want to be a downer but if they ship ordinary ground UPS you will most likely get a large brokerage\customs clearance fee. Basically the fee for doing the paper work on duty and/or taxes (taxes you will also pay).

here is the fee schedule

I hope Im wrong...but Im almost %100 on this one.....been stung a few times.

$%&^$%&$%^$^&$^%!@#$^($^&#$%^@^ i wish i saw this before now lol

cool....Im going to be looking to build a fixture soon I think and your group buy prices are good.

Are people having good success with just using the 2 types of LED...I thought a lot of people were using 2 types of blue. Where can I find the spectrum on these?

spectrums are on the spec sheet on the www.ledgroupbuy.com link

these two colors are proven to work, some people do add blue and neutral white but the norm is cool white plus royal blue to make the colors really pop

as far as UPS goes, yes ill get charged brokerage fee but im doing their fast delivery which they cover brokerage costs. LEDs are on the no duty/tax list from what ive read.

My order works out around $5.40 per led with 60 degree optics. That is a pretty damn good price if you ask me. Typically, they're in the $7 range with optics. The money I saved will go to my other parts.

Milad, when do you plan on purchasing your drivers? Does the company you plan on buying from sell meanwell's ELN-60-48D dimmable drivers?

Any news on this order?

Sorry I havent been updating. There is a family emergency I'm dealing with. But I spoke to the vendor yesterday and she said it's most likely being shipped to me Monday. Star mounting took a few days extra because of the volume.
