    @Scotch089 they told me they weren't sure what step they offered. But they'd get cb bin for sure. I am a bit unsure till I get more info but they connected me w rep in charge of Cree orders, jerry. I want cb or higher and 2 step would be best! But they couldn't tell me what they'd get either.

    I wonder if they do L2L over sea of plane. If we shipped air vs sea, we would def get them before others. just all subtle things most people dont think about but could really be why we are waiting longer.

    @Greengenes707 I studied supply chain in college, this process wouldnt be hard to get down. the failure rates of the few components could cost and eat all your profits up. I think you could build a light an hour. self distributing aint easy either lol.

    Cbx Series cobs. Cumulative info and comp.

    lol fosho. that is what I Was getting at lol. the capital necessary to make it cheap is alot though. not a bad idea if you can get consistency, but that is the hard part for most. you and supra get cost analysis, it is not totally crazy to make a light thats profitable. and not to much time...

    Cbx Series cobs. Cumulative info and comp.

    @draz yea, they should do a bulk buy, then make them and sell them to people who want em lol. at a small marrkup. could prolly pump out 1 or 2 before lunch. 50$ in profit per unit would make 100 a day and be totally a cool idea. to bad capital is generally better spent.
