Yeah thats exacly what i ment: some countries, like Israel for instance, can ban an kind of electronic components for security reasons
Some like China, Malaysia and such have SEVERE electronic comonents import taxes- like 100% as far i know
Japan too btw, we have a company here thats a Japan -Bulgaria joint venture, and sometimes when we send goods in Janap the import taxes are OMG ones
My main consern is for the ppl not to waste a whole day dealing with costums or paying taxes for a hobby like flashlights or int/outdoor lighting fun projects
Wait, what? I never have to pay a single cent tax for electronic components I ordered.
I don’t know about that severe tax, maybe on the more critical stuff like pharmaceutical (those are expensive here) but most consumer electronics are pretty much tax-exempted here.
I think I get it now. If I read correctly, $5.00 is shipping to the USA. If that is the case, I'll take 20. So I would need to get $16.60 to you net of PP fees, right?
I was just thinking how great would it be if I could find some in-line mcpcb’s for this leds
This guys have many interesting boards for DIY but they either sale in 100+ pieces minimal order quantity or the DHL/Fedex shipping is 100+$
Yeah, if you are creative there are many thing that you can do with those leds:Back in 2013 i even moded my furniture spotlights with Cree XPE emitters- on Al boards, driven at 500ma
As a heatsink i used the spot body, the emitter`s PCB is glued directly on the spot`s metal back-pad
And they are working 24/7 since then, almost 1.8 years- have to measure the emitters degradation though…
