LED questions
By the way, I thought maybe it would be helpful to shed some light on what's going on with manufacturing in China. First, there are many manufacturers there making the UFO models, not just one. These manufacturers vary wildly in both their manufacturing skill and business ethics.
For example, I'm sure most of you are aware that there are a lot of LEDs out there for $100 - $200. Have you wondered how that is possible, considering the cost of 1 watt LEDs? The answer is simple: the diodes are 0.45 watts, not 1. They look identical, though. You would need to measure their output to know the difference - or see their invoices.
I hope this helps explain what's happening in the market now. Diode prices have not gone down significantly and the newer diodes, which are closer to peak photosynthetic values, are in great demand. Some laws you can't break. The law of supply and demand is one of them. There is no free lunch is another.
