    That's not the way it works in China, Samsung rejects the parts as not meeting their quality standards then local Chinese assemble them anyway and sell them. They may work just fine or you may be screwed.

    Na that an't right, Samsum has factory in China as well as Korea. Last I read, there are 3 factorys in China, that make Samsum lights, just like the factory's in Korea.

    Yes that's correct they do have factories in China and when they reject substandard parts other companies take those substandard parts and make knockoffs That's the way the Chinese do it.

    I guess I just have been lucky, I have bought and use many Chineese junk, and haven't ever had one that the lights burn out on them. lol

    The name Mars still sends shudders down my spine... how other sites let Mars sponsor them after all that has happened, I just can't imagine... it's gotta just be about the money - & feck the members!

    I can’t recommend Alex from vividled enough m8, he can’t always get back to emails especially when he’s probably get hundreds a day, the guy is in high demand with his products, I bought one a while ago off him and it was when lockdown was happening, he was a few orders behind because of the parts taking longer to get to him, I got a small one but will be getting another in the future I think, it came within days of him posting it, like herb said I would ring or text him he’s a very knowledgeable man he knows his shit when it comes to these lights, I bought one of the old mars 300 from mars on Amazon a couple of years ago and didn’t even get a year out of it and the bastard burnt 3-4 leds out and when I messaged them they wanted me to jump through fuckin hoops before they would send any replacement leds for me and they still didn’t because I could send a pic of them burnt out but not with the fucker on, but I ain’t gonna light my house up in blurple and risk shit so I didn’t hear off them again, probably my fault but I expected it to last longer than a year, good luck with wherever you get your lights from m8
