There was a rumor about 2 years ago that someone was going to open a plant here. Never did come to fruition. A lot of the companies in China are looking to move out of China - Vietnam keeps coming up in conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WynsWrld98 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 It just surprises me considering LEDs are quoted as having many thousands of hours of life and only standing behind them for one season makes me suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul sessel Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 As we get ready to kick off the sale tomorrow, I thought I would explain how we do it for all newbies to our sale.You must call in your order. That way we can get all pertinent information to set up your account.Once we get your order, we will E-mail you a Sales Order Conformation for you to approve (look it over real good, make sure address information is correct as well as the item and quantity information) These Sales Order Conformations may not go out the day you order, sometimes it takes a week for them to go out.You will need to sign off on the order as correct (or make any changes) and than fax/E-mail it back before it is an actual order.At that time, we will charge your credit card for a 50% deposit and your order is now complete.When we get the inventory in (around June), we will than ship it to you and charge your card for the balance of the order plus shipping.That's all she wrote!

Its reasonable to warrantee them when they show up, and during their first season of operation.I built LED lights for the traffic industry and we warrantied them for 5 years, no questions asked. But they were mounted in the equipment and we knew what to expect. If they were installed and taken down over and over, it would have been a whole different story.WOuld I like a 5 year warranty on LED lights? You bet! But that is unreasonable based on the unknown. Any argument you have to the contrary would have its merits (car warranties, etc...), but I would disagree.Maybe some hot shot insurance company would like to underwrite LED Christams lights like Dell and the rest of the electronic/home appliance industry uses! And if you listen to Consumer Reports, they will tell you time and time again, the "extended warranty" is a waste of money.Dino - KX6D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WynsWrld98 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Glad to hear of good experiences with his LEDs. Philips LEDs sold by Target are warranted for 3 years is what made me question only a one season warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
