DIY LED Group Buy (New and Improved Thread) - Page 4

Drew Shark · 06/30/2011, 11:13 AM

I hope it is not too late, I just added my order.

Reefers4U · 06/30/2011, 11:45 AM

Nope. Window closes in 13.25 hours.

Drew Shark · 06/30/2011, 10:34 PM

Any better discounts now that we are over $7,000?

cocoaandme · 07/01/2011, 11:58 AM

Just wondering if we were supposed to have gotten invoices by now?

Reefers4U · 07/01/2011, 12:38 PM

Hey Rich - some have and some haven't - I am sending Mike over the final sheet today.

@ Drew - We'll see. Going to have a convo with him today

JohnnyAirtime · 07/01/2011, 12:53 PM

Can I ask a dumb question?
... a DIY panel of 48 ?W LEDs, is how much? And comes with everything to 'build it'? I'm a DIY guy, but it's all so confusing.

cocoaandme · 07/01/2011, 01:04 PM

I don't think rapidled is selling any 1 watt kits other than the small moonlight kits.

Sorry, I just assumed. What wattage are the chips in the "kits"?

cocoaandme · 07/01/2011, 01:20 PM

They are 3 watt cree led's. They have all the details including spec sheets on their website. And they detail all the things that comes with the kits. Basically it is everything you need minus the heatsink and housing for the non-dimming kits. If you get the dimmable kits you will need to get dimmers as well. It's all on their website.

Thanks! ... I'll check it out in MORE detail, and read more! (sorry to take the thread in a diff direction)

sabazerehi · 07/02/2011, 01:22 AM

Mines already been shipped! I paid early though... Anyone wanna help me build these babies??

cocoaandme · 07/02/2011, 01:25 AM

Hmm still haven't gotten my invoice

. I wanna pay!

billyzbear · 07/02/2011, 05:42 AM

I haven't gotten an invoice too.

xxtechxx · 07/02/2011, 11:05 AM

i want my invoicE!!! so i can start on my project!!!

Reefers4U · 07/02/2011, 12:40 PM

I sent Mike the final version of the spreadsheet yesterday. He most likely won't be working during the holiday - so I might expect your invoice sometime next week.

jadette · 07/02/2011, 02:49 PM

Do you know what final discount we got?

Reefers4U · 07/02/2011, 03:30 PM

I spoke with Rapid today. Not promising anything but they are going to review our order and try to work an addt'l discount in. I'm hesitant to say how much if any at all but of course will keep you updated.

sabazerehi · 07/03/2011, 02:03 AM

Maybe I shouldn't have paid yet lol

Reefers4U · 07/03/2011, 01:06 PM

OK Folks. We managed to get a 17% discount for everyone. You should be getting your invoices today or tomorrow. Please let me know if you don't.

@Saba - the discount should also apply to you. I would contact Rapid to work out the refund mechanics.

Now the next step is to post some pictures of your new setups - I'm looking forward to hearing the feedback!

jadette · 07/03/2011, 01:38 PM

Thanks Reefers4U for setting this up. I just paid my invoice. Had I known it would be so cheap, I would have ordered my heatsinks through them as well.

Oh well.

Thanks again for coordinating!

jadette · 07/03/2011, 02:14 PM

Also, I guess this is a bit OT for this thread, but just in case people are looking for a decent soldering iron for a decent price, there's a $10 rebate on the popular Weller 40W soldering station.

Rebate here:

Bought mine at amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Weller-WLC100-...9723994&sr=8-1

So you basically get a very nice entry level soldering iron for $29.99 shipped.

King Nikon · 07/03/2011, 05:12 PM

I got my invoice today but it was wrong, only had 2 LEDs in it but 36 lenses. I'm going to e-mail rapidled now to let them know, make sure you guys check yours over before you pay!

billyzbear · 07/03/2011, 06:30 PM

Paid for my invoice, can't wait until they get here.

xxtechxx · 07/03/2011, 06:34 PM

i would like to thank Reefers4U for putting together this group buy. 17% is a great deal!
just paid for my invoice =] for sure we should post pics of our build.

gveng · 07/03/2011, 06:40 PM
