Non-Chinese LED Brands

I'm not meaning fixtures. We manufacture in the USA. I'm talking about producing the actual light emitting diodes themselves. They are not packaged in the US. As far as I know only Lumileds and Cree have reactors here. They still send them overseas for packaging.....By packaging I mean putting the die into the chip.

I was about to say, I think Cree is an American company.

Cree spent 10s of millions from what I understand trying to figure out packaging. They ended up staying with China. Apparently it's a steep learning curve. That's why the 25% Tariff on leds really hurts. Butttt Samsung, Seoul, and select Lumileds and Osram will be made outside of China. Not in the US though.

Gotcha. Thanks for educating me.
 
Yes, ironic how how these tariffs on China are going to hurt every company that manufactures there. Including American companies.
 
Kessil, I believe does it all in house I believe and there have been maybe two kessil grows evervposted on riu, ok maybe three, so the pickins are slim and dont even think theh are necessarily cannabis worthy, maybe 10 years ago, but not now....they basically use their own cob design/used

Interesting (or not) fact: "Corea" is the original spelling of "Korea". Many Koreans continue to spell it that way claiming Japan changed the name when it annexed the peninsular so that "Korea" came after "Japan" in the alphabetical list of nations.

Actually, even further back, it was “Goryeo” and Japan’s actual name is Nippon/Nihon.

Real life fact. English or Korea is the 2nd(only by a few million) most spoken language worldwide and not to Koreans.
