Is it normal for prices to often change? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Actually, when I was on earlier they had two listings and one was actually $5 cheaper than mine. They were right on top of each other. As far as pricing , I cant tell you, it seems they try to be a little competitive with the Chinese market. My first package came from CA but the next three are arriving from TX let me add, I wasn't looking at the 5v so I don't know if they went up.

You just have to run the 2 data lines together. Now in the very near future, the folks at Falcon have said they could easily do a firmware upgrade to the new Falcon F16v3 that will allow you to use the clock out put as a data output for the second data wire.

BMurray Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I had ordered 2000 pixels from Ray Wu on the 16th. He said he wouldn't be able to ship it out until February 4th due to the Chinese New Year. But lo and behold I got my package on the 20th...4 days later!!! AWESOME SAUCE!!! I gotta say Ray is a great stand up guy with great business sense for customer service. It would be great to have more people like him stateside! Can't wait to order more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisneyMatt10 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I've always done my ordering through HC, AND I just spent nearly $3,000 with them. . . And NOW I come across this thread. . . Starting to think I should contact Ray Wu? Does he have a website or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 http://www.aliexpress.com/store/701799ALWAYS send him a message and request a quote. The Alibaba website calculates shipping based on each item shipped separately. Ray will quote a far more reasonable shipping cost.Sent from my Droid Turbo via Tapatalk, so blame any typos or spelling errors on Android 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 BTW, if you're not familiar with it, Alibaba is sort of the Chinese version of Amazon (except a lot bigger). Ray has a store on Alibaba, and learned enough about lighting that he can deal with us pretty well.Sent from my Droid Turbo via Tapatalk, so blame any typos or spelling errors on Android 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He beat Rays prices on a couple of things and some were the exact same price. His quote on shipping was always cheaper than Ray though even when I contacted ray directly. I'm looking at his WS2811 12v Nodes, have you had any issues with these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
