Which suppliers here have components in stock for COB lighting?

I remember awhile back many of the suppliers here stating they could beat Jerry's pricing. Im looking to build a couple lights. Ive been to many of the sites but no one has components in stock, let alone cheaper pricing? Cutter has a few things, but not everything to source a build. Looking to build a 250w and 200w with CXB3590 DB bin (5000k for the 200w, 3500k for 250w).

Im sure I am missing a site somewhere, but Ive checked cutter/cobkits/timber/rapidled. Cutter has the cheapest price on the cob/holder/reflector combo besides Jerry (but he says he can beat it) but I cannot source everything I need from him (at least not from the site listing) and he does not have DB bin in stock.

I've been holding out on stocking cree until they release something new (jerry said august for the new models, august 2016 that is...), or drop their 3590 prices to be competitive with the other mfrs.

pretty much your options for finding 3500k DB bin is cutter/jerry/realstyles/or bug greengenes who doesnt sell them but prob has them around

you should be looking for DD in 5000k, DB should be everywhere since last year

if you can track down the chips i have everything else.

try asking @welight about the chips, just because its not on site doesnt mean he doesnt have it

And again, what can you do on pricing? I already looked at your site for pin cushion heatsinks and they are outrageous. I dont mind paying a bit more purchasing stateside but $21/heatsink plus shipping? Hell, Jameco is listing the HLG240 for $8 less than you are and I know you can source those MUCH cheaper buying from overseas.

1. i dont buy my drivers from overseas, they come from US suppliers. theres a lot of models to stock i can buy them in 10-20 pc per model, time i ship them here, stock them, eat 3% merchant account fees, theres only a few bucks in them, i carry them for convenience

jameco =$63.95
cobkits w/RIU discount = $64.80

2. shipping prices on site arent accurate and i always refund over actual shipping
i can ship 8 heatsinks for $17 flat rate, or reasonable combinations like 4-6 heatsinks+2-3 drivers

3. heatsinks predrilled for cxb after riu code are:
120mm 16.65
133mm 18.90
140mm 20.70

def best to shop around
