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.

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?

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.

so they are about to charge me and ship them out but we ordered so much that they ran out of materials to make them with!!!

they were able to make everything except for half of the royal blue and all the 40degree lens

im having them ship out all they have and then someone needs to step up and not get their royal blues until jan 3rd when they get shipped. im willing to wait on mine but i need couple other people to wait also.

so 40degree lens arent coming in till jan 3rd also. this shouldnt be a big deal since you can make your fixture and just add the lens later.

so let me know if you dont mind waiting on your royal blue and ill add you to the list.
