    I personally have not used them, but there is a store near us that uses them. They look good... Really good... but the price is quite steep. They are made in China, and ship from Hong Kong AFAIK.

    They look like they are re-branded Eco-lamp brand LEDs:

    So gramatically and politically incorrect I am not going to start.

    Actually the chinese technology industry is far ahead of ours, so they have better more advanced cheaper technology over there. The reason it is cheaper is becuase the supplies are mostly all created over there. Most of my electronics i have that are good quality are made in china, and all components are as well. Most stuff i find that was made in Canada or made in the US falls apart and not very good quality.

    sorry for being careless on the grammar. yours isn't great either.

    fact is,labor is moved to China to cut costs. No knock on the Chinese,just fact. One day they'll catch up, like Japan did.

    This is way out of bounds. No politics on 3reef. No bashing.
