It's all good man. PLC makes lights.
But...I'll match either of their prices on 3070's or 3590's. And beat the standard shipping in the US. Our straight up to anyone prices were better to the door, and that was our goal. Prices were already coming down this next shipment anyways. Components are not my priority...I just know that most of what I use(3070 bb's) are not easily obtained by anyone for while. They weren't even in production till we requested them. There is a reason we are bringing in a ton of 3590's...and it has nothing to do with being a component supplier. We went through 300 3070 last month for DIY'er as a trial...more than KB by a good amount from what I counted. Have 600 3070's coming in just for DIY crew on the 10th. Plus what I use for PLC(another 1800 per batch so far). We're good on our buying power. And give discounts to many people for many reasons, mainly bulk(I don't want sob stories please)...1$ per 20 3070's is standard no questions asked...people that asked about bulk know. at least that. But just so people know...20 isn't a bulk buy in the real world for companies like cree or bridgelux or the suppliers/distributors and the suppliers/distributors(mark, jerry, me, anyone) aren't getting any breaks at that count or even 10X it.
I respect contributing RIU member, and don't think that a google search bringing someone to the forum for the first time should get true RIU member discount. Call it unfair, profiling, or whatever. That is what mark and jerry are for if that doesn't fly with people. But if you are legit, a contributor and/or know me, you know I hook things up.
Again...not our priority, but are glad to help when we can.
Thanks!
