XM-L on stars for ~6$ @ LED-DNA

What is the website? I tried to search but it only comes up with eBay.

I just placed an order, it is free shipping...thanks for letting us know.

I never thought to check their website. Thanks for the heads up. Good prices

Thanks

I have ordered one of their U2's.

Odd that the site doesn't seem to state what tint they are?

Which color tint has XM-L T6 and U2 from LEDDNA?

not sure but the t6 and u2 I received are cool but not purplish

that's what I thought of the U2. I have only used one of them so far. The trace for the pos. wire pulled up really easy when I gave it a small tug to check the joint. Probably just a one off problem.

just checked, my bags both say 1C

Thanks dthrckt

I'm gonna order a few emitters and wondering if I should order from their website or from their ebay store. I know they have more incentive to ship faster through ebay so it got me wondering. I'm ready to get going on this project so each day matters. Any feedback about delivery times?

Mine didn't arrive at all.

I bought it through their eBay store. Four days before the 45 day limit I sent them a message through eBay, telling them it hasn't arrived yet. No response, so after two days I sent them another message, again no response. After another day I opened an eBay dispute. Three hours later (23:30 HK time) they replied to my second message asking me if I want them to resend or refund. I said refund. They said "okay, but it will take a couple of days to show in your account". It's now 3 days later and no refund yet.

So thumbs down and I'll never buy from them again.

(This is the first time I've ever given an eBay seller a negative feedback, never even gave a neutral one)

I ordered 3*XML-U2 from their ebay.

order 02 02 2012 , receive 02 10 2012

Seems there are either really good or really bad experiences with these guys. I'm afraid with my history I'll be on the "bad" end of the spectrum. For this project it's more about time than cost but then I also don't want to pay significantly more from the competition either. The U2 emitters are proven to be good. I guess there are plenty of "never received" complaints on ebay so maybe it doesn't make a difference. Thanks for the feedback.

Packages can go missing, or just be delayed because of various reasons (I twice received packages 3 months after they were sent, from different sellers), I didn't give them a negative feedback because of that.

I gave them a negative feedback because they only answered my messages after I filed an eBay case, and they still didn't refund me.

I ordered from ebay the first time - 3 emitters. Took exactly as long as they said it would.

I hope the come through w/ the order I placed on their website, because it was for $135

edit: ordered 2/18 (a saturday), shipped 2/21, they say to expect arrival 12-18 days from dispatch

There is another option if your unhappy post number 27 on this thread

Got my refund today, minutes after I reminded them that I still didn't get the refund they promised me 5 days ago.

Didn't like it very much, but at least they're responsive, so I withdrew the negative feedback I gave them. Don't know if it was smart.

fyi, not one off....I did it...2x...just be gentle w/ them...if you do it you can just scrape some anodizing off the copper lead and solder to that...

I looked for XM-L prices a while back but didn't find LED-DNA at the time, but their eBay (and sometimes store) prices seem to go up and down a lot anyway and they first went down after I looked.

Had a quick look again. Pricewise, LED-DNA do seem the best (for small quantities at least). But there's one seller on eBay (kenjiana) who has several auctions with U2 free shipping startingprice $7.99 which is same price as LED-DNA store (currently $8.00). No reason to fluff around with waiting auctions when the price is the same, except kenjiana claims 1A tint so if you prefer that perhaps worth a try. kenjiana also sells supposed 1A T6 on eBay with BIN and auctions for $6.95 although that's $1 more then LED-DNA store (currently $6.00).

cnqualitygoods.com also aren't too bad. (They seemed possibly the best when I looked last time too.) $7.00 for T6 (claimed 1A). And $8.00 for U2 (claimed 1B). They aren't free shipping, shipping seemed to be 0.37 for one U2 for me. If you don't want to buy from LED-DNA for whatever reason, perhaps you can try to negotiate with Ric on the forums to give the same price as LED-DNA on the U2. More interesting perhaps, they claim to have a 20mm star for the U2 as well. LED-DNA don't have this and from my searches, it it is rarer then the T6 star of the U2 16mm round.
