Yeah because they're all kelvins I don't want. 5k and 6500? Had you gotten 2700,3k, 3500, I'd been all over it.

They have 3000k.
I have 5000k and 3000k 80 Cri.
Got a buddy at a local grow shop. Going to take them down there to test the true CCT.
I was talking to Getian yesterday and they are open to make a 35mm x 35mm COB.
Would need to put some money down to get it made in the CCT we want ( 3000, 3500, 4000, 5000).
Once I do a test on the ones I have to see how well they preform and how accurate the CCT is I will compare the pricing.
if they preform well in the tests I could pickup a bunch. Buying bulk would make them much cheaper than Citi.
Even if I picked up 100 of each CCT. that would break the bank.

theyre really not available yet. only in last few weeks digi got a few 50 pks of the new models. anyboy with qty orders in doesnt even have them yet. i could buy singles from digikey at the same price as everyone else and sell them for more on my site but who wins there? customers pay more and i hold 1000s of dollars of stock to maybe make a buck a chip IF the chip market doesnt fall off in price at which case its a complete and total loss.

pretty sure robin doesnt stock veros for the same reason

That makes sense. It does seem like the chip market is falling. Good for us, ad for manufacturers.

well they didnt have any quantitiy of 3K took them a few weeks just to get me samples and when i get them they are 3700k

compare that to citi whos products are 100% on spec every time i order. not worth it to save a dollar. if they cant even get the colors right i have to wonder about the long term durability of the product
