    zero sales history and his writeup doesn't really say anything helpful. I would be careful. Also, the price looks too good to be true. On the other hand, the price could be that low because most people are as wary as I am.

    I dont have any LED fixtures so cant give any definitive answer but I have been doing a fair amount of reading on them and this build looks pretty good. also the guy seems willing to go into detail.

    He has a good pitch and data listed. I would see if I could find LED's that are 5 watts each.

    it still has 3 days left so im interested in what happens with the price in that time. im going to watch them closely and see if he puts up more lights then maybe buy after some feedback is given. If he emails me back ill let you guys know any useful information.
