Well, since I was going to spend $36 anyway for three of unknown bin originally, then I would be willing to get five of the rejects at $8.50 each for $42.50 at the discount rate if it happens. If you happen to get only 20% rejects, then my five would account for 20 of the better bin. If you can just get a couple more people to do that, you could still proceed with the purchase/sale right?

EDIT: To clarify, I mean to say that I will still buy three of them if you don’t bin them, and we pay $12 each, or I will buy five of the “rejects” if you do bin them, and I can get them for $8.50 each.

Update:

The manufacturer’s management has recently said they really don’t want to do this kind of grading even if I choose to pay extra.

I think it is best not to push them.

You still get A4/A5 bin as discussed earlier.

45

sounds like a deal killer

46

Anyway, in the light of how situation goes and now that the order is close to the original buying point 35+ pcs.

I want confirmation that the GB participant are a “firm” order.

47

I am interested in 2x A4 bin LED’s.

48

Hurry up!

49

I’ll take chosen ones.

50

Firm for me

51

Still in for 1x 4000K. Tbh it’s not surprising ordering such a small batch would not get you exact binning. I would just randomly ship them and charge everyone the same with the expectation it may not be exact tint but within a range. CRI should be consistent.

Next time just under promise from the start and over deliver :slight_smile:

52

In any case, I will leave this on about 1-2 weeks before round up and order the 4000k (if it hits the threshold, that is). We’re back to the original deal where I promised the tint will land somewhere on the A4 bin.

I will work on 5mm leds in the meantime.

Edit: since Shirnask has dialed back the order amount, I guess we will have to wait.

53

I’m not sure if it will prove to be profitable for you in the end, but I sure appreciate your efforts getting chinese manufacturers make special high CRI leds and resell them on BLF. It is something that not many have a talent for, or the endurance to try or have the willingness to take the risks.
:+1:

54

To be fair, I still haven’t got to breakeven point for the previous COB purchases. I will need to be rather conservative when it comes to committing the order.

55

Any updates?

56

I’m still awaiting the total amount to hit the minimum amount.

Since I haven’t yet fully recovered from the COB purchase (the first WTS from me if you recall it), I still need to be more careful with my investment.

57

I am interested in 2 x A4 bin LED.

58

I’m planning to buy an A4 bin for real pretty soon, preferably before the factory closes during new year and Chinese new year.

However, due higher MOQ than planned, I will very much prefer the interest list number to hit 50 pcs before doing so. Otherwise, I will take a fairly big financial hit.

59

Hmm, it depends on if my next mod will work, but ok, I’m in for one A4 bin led.

60

So 20mm 12v mcpcb only right? We can’t get them in 18mm or 16mm or 6v version correct? Otherwise I would buy more.

61

Yeah, only 20mm/ 12v.

62

Alright guys, the A4 bin is coming, probably tomorrow.

You can start paying. Refer to the first few lines on the OP for payment. I will PM you later if you haven’t by then.
