Never been so happy to see an impartial post to save my life. LOL
Nobody said "don't buy from KB!"
Nobody said "KB is selling counterfeits!"
Nobody cares how big a grow you were allowed or that you've been shot (since neither apply to the conversation)
People do deserve to know all the facts though, and currently the fact is that he's not an authorized dealer. A representative from CREE suggested stay with authorized dealers, so many of us (I'm sure you can insert one of your colorful names here) are going to be more comfortable with those vendors.
Personally, I'd rather pay sales tax and get it from a authorized vendor, you'd rather get it from another vendor so you don't have to pay tax on it. No harm, no foul, but your attitude and the way you talk to people tarnishes the discussion. We're all idiots, someone's clueless because he hasn't built a light, I'm surprised I'm not barred from having an opinion because I'm using LED's to grow coral instead of what most on this board use it for.
