Says compatible with Samsung, weird. Either way let us know about the quality of the light once you get chance.

It would be an amazing deal if it indeed has Samsung diodes.
IMO people are a bit hung up on the Sammy name. If they are Samsung diodes, they aren't going to be LM301H diodes. Most likely they would be a low bin of LM281b+ diodes, which would be around 30% less output compared to lm301h. There are other manufactures out there which will produce better results than you will get from those economy Sammy diodes. I'm not saying that they are necessarily bad, but it's kind of like spending money on the cheapest Toyota on the market vs spending the same money on a mid-range Nissan.

Depending on which model I would have to agree. I would hope they didn't make this nice looking light with really crappy smds.

I agree. I did look around earlier and one random site said they're 301B. If that was the case then why wasn't it specifically mentioned on the amazon listing.

As someone who works at a toyota dealer, I'd buy a cheaper toyota any day of the week over a mid range nissan, idk, just saying lol.

Seriously tho, what type of diodes does matter, but the quality of diodes matter as well. Those maybe samsung diodes, or hell even 301bs, but they are from the lower quality of said diodes.

I get the analogy, but anyone else but Nissan and it's perfect.

Has there been any indepth diode comparisons? Samsung is a great company, but they've been known to speak hyperbole.

I found the same thing on pricepulse (which is an amazon price tracking website). The seller must’ve removed the LM301B from the product description as it’s not on the amazon page.

I’m not expecting to receive LM301B diodes for a $40 100 true watt light

My light was delivered today. How do I verify the diodes?
I wouldn't know but I guess some close up pictures may help. What about the manual?
