you are good at getting attention for running your mouth that's why you have people running up on you
maybe if you kept to yourself a little more you wouldn't be getting shot
He is a self professed troll. And when that is proffered, I take it seriously.

But, OTH< that is not all he is. He is a builder and a grower. I take that seriously. :)

Unless I'm mistaken that's not the same Kingbright.
kingbrite.cn.

You guys don't get the China connection. They back engineer it all. They have gotten to the level that these may be exactly the same. They ignore patents which are the height of Govt pick and choose. I swim in the US patent sea and it is bullshit.

So, there is no mystery to these COBs, or the 10 hp virtual brushless motors that I get for RC cars at 1/2 the price.

I am proud to support the globalization of product.

They are most likely not CREE. But, they most likely produce practically the same light at the same effeciency. I will make some measures,

I don't think I got real Cree or stolen Cree. I got China Cree. Eyes wide open.

The suckers were $86 bucks at Mouser. I got them for $50.50

Will they even light? I don't know. But, no one has said they won't.

Will then even light? I don't know. But, no one has said they won't.
That's a bold statement which I fully disagree with.

I think that copying these COBs is much more difficult task than you think. Counterfeits would be significantly less efficient with significantly worse color consistency. SupraSPL measured them and they did well. Makes me believe that KB is distributing genuine COBs.
Yes, you believe and I don't know. You are loading the term counterfeit, as in, low quality. That is not my experience. And if Cree can make it, anyone can copy it, if you have the equivalent to the China National Labs at your disposal. It is ONLY about the phosphor layer as I understand it, Mass Spectrometry reveals the exact doping ratios.

Huhum ..
I think you're getting carried away a little here, to say the least ...

LEDs are not just nuts and bolts, they're closer to rocket science ;)

If they were that simple to copy, why would other brands bother producing (much) less efficient leds .. ?!?
It would be great, we would be flooded with amazing and cheap Chinese replica's :mrgreen:

You can't just, take a led, analyse it, and counterfeit it ... reproduce the whole production line, machines that easily etc ..

Even if it could be done pretty easily (stretch) .. by the time you have produced the machines and assembly line .. a new better product/bin would be available, and perform better.

This market is moving fast, so it's a bit like a space program, you need your own tech, you can't just copy other people's space shuttles as you go along lol
(Or you do, but you're decades behind)

I know you're stubborn, I'm not looking for an argument, just saying it's more than a belief, its more to do with facts and common sense really !

Oh bull. You know nothing about their capabilities. It is all very modern and very precise.

So until you know, like I do, don't guess. We are in a vast commercial contest with China and it is very SIMPLE to back engineer a COB.

Our main thing at work is security. What makes you think the Chinese govt didn't just break into Cree and steal the entire Intellectual Property about this?

YOU DON'T. I am in this business. They steal constantly.

If you make LED COBs already, it is very simple to subject a Cree to destructive testing and chemical and spectral analysis.

Damn dudes, the make fine counterfeit Pentium processors and everything else.

China is not backyard with rocks and sticks anymore. Nobody made a tin shack start up about this. These are big industry players partnered with the Govt, that are not constrained by Patents.

I am opposing bullshit, is all. You seem to have post envy. Very common. :)

Learning, teaching, paying forward, assaulting myths is only mildly associated with post count.

Whereas your throw away comment for trolling is only for your post count and completely useless otherwise. Funny guy. Lean to type 60 WPM?

Seems like it's hard to avoid arguments with some people on this forum ... So many people acting like kids ..

I usually try to stick to posts that contribute in some way, this is probably my last reply to you on this subject.
We can agree to disagree, or something, i guess .. :mrgreen: so here it goes :

I never said china was backyard and rocks, or whatever words your putting in my mouth ...

I'll go even further, whether chinese, US, japanese, french or german company, whoever .. wouldn't be able to copy fast enough to offer the same product at same time, it would be a constant catch up game ... and most importantly in our world => financially not viable.

Ok, sure, you're in business, we're not...

You know so much shit, we don't ...
(Funny, you not only know so much shit, you also know better than us what shit we're ignorant about ! WAOUW !)

Still, took you a whole month to understand the advantage of running cobs at a higher efficiency vs short term $$ savings ... pretty slow for a "KnowItAll" guy if you ask me.

:peace:

There it is, in black and white, what I took a while to grasp. I was all for 1.4a driving current, but I saw my light.

Between .7 and 1.4a, you pay an extra $1.77/wPar to run low current,

But you gain slightly over 7% in efficiency. !!!! And you get ~12% more flux density.

You apply that extra $1.77 one time. And you get 7% per hour in Utility savings.
It won't take long, at all, until it pays for itself. And you have a good light for 50K hours.
And in 50K hours, you pay for the entire rig in energy savings over HPS.
Nowwwww he gets it.... thank GAWD

You maybe a "Doer", you think you're a "Knower", but I'll tell you, you're definitely a Joker :lol: :lol: :mrgreen: :

No good reason really, it was the following post... I felt the same way when I read it, so I included it :)

Do you want me to edit it out of this mayhem .. ? :)
