Around a month ago I ordered some UVA boost strips from Cutter that had the special TEKNIK PC blue leds. I wanted to get more 420 and 430nm into the spectrum sort of like how the highlights have on there boards but in a strip form.
I messaged Mark at Cutter to double check that the TEKNIK PC Blues were being used because I saw TEKNIK mention that Cutter no longer had any instock. Mark confirmed twice that the leds were TEKNIKs PC blue leds.
After they were ordered I was feeling uneasy and messaged TEKNIK on Instagram to check if they were his leds that were being supplied and he told me that he doesn't think that Cutter had any of the PC blue leds left, also TEKNIK told me Cutter had not ordered any more from him.
Because the order had already been placed I just waited until they arrived to find out what was going on.
Once they arrived I showed a photo of the LED from under a microscope to TEKNIK and he confirmed that the chips were not his PC blue leds but some sort of copy of his special leds.
I was absolutely blown away as to how this could have happened. I emailed Mark and he said that TEKNIK had supply issues so they had no choice but to copy his LEDs. After he confirmed twice that they would be TEKNIKs leds, he also said that he spent alot of time in product development and advertising, as an excuse for his actions.
I really wanted to buy TEKNIK leds to thank him for all the time he spends helping people like me out plus TEKNIK’s blue spectrum looks really good in my opinion.
TEKNIK told me he has thousands of PC Blues leds instock on hand in Australia. So there is not a supply chain problem with them at all but Cutter never ordered them from him to use on his strips.
TEKNIK said that the spectrum won't be like his. TEKNIK has said that his leds are more expensive to produce due to the blue phosphor to bump up the 430nm region plus the leds he uses are more efficient. Not many factories would be able to copy what he made or even come close, especially not Alibaba companies.
Teknik spent alot of time developing the leds to ensure the spectrum would work correctly when blending with standard white leds and even went all the way to China just to check the quality control in the factory that was producing the chips for him.
TEKNIK showed the spectrum of his PC blue leds that I had seen before and described how when mixed with standard white leds it dramatically bumps up the 430nm region as well as going all the way down beyond 400nm.
It took me about a week to get Mark to show the spectrum of the copy led that was swapped out with the genuine TEKNIK PC Blue. It looks nothing like it at all.
Mark insists that the copy will have a better blend than the TEKNIK PC blue led in the 430nm region which is what I wanted. I can not see how it is possible to blend better than the TEKNIK PC Blues and it certainly doesn't look like it will have more 430nm.
Am I wrong to think this won't blend as well as TEKNIKs PC blue?
I feel that I'm being fed a load of shit from Mark plus I didn't get what I paid for. If you look at the spectrum on Cutters website it looks like it is done with TEKNIKs PC blue not some copy that looks nothing like it. Shouldn't the product have been cheaper in price considering it doesn't have the more expensive genuine TEKNIK PC Blue?
Please help me out with this, I trust what TEKNIK says because it makes alot of sense to me and its clear he is overall alot more intelligent than Mark. I just cant see how it would be possible for the knock off led to possibly have the spectrum that is shown on Cutters website. How can a spectrum with hardly any 430nm at all possibly be better than a spectrum that has alot?

someone has stuffed a business by speaking with forked tongue .. regardless of the product be supplied it is not what was ordered - demand money back and apology for the bullsh*t..Maybe admin need to look into this.. 
really dude
