That's a close to 15-year old article that you posted, here's something more recent:

SSL Manufacturing in America – Cree Inc.

Durham, N.C.-based Cree Inc., got its start in 1987 and has been working with LED technology pretty much ever since, so its growth and evolution re...

Yep. Like I said, the diodes that I have from them were manufactured in the US.

Maybe they are. Somehow i doubt they continue to do so.
Cree hasnt had anything worthwhile since some cobs way back when... like 15 years

I wasnt too happy with my cree leds either, tbh.

Oops, I guess Cree was sold a few years ago, so scratch them off the list.

Nice, I don't have diablo boards. Your boards have Lumileds?

Watching rednecks in Tennessee manufacture LED grow lights using state of the art machinery is odd yet enjoyable.

Your light is the one place you don’t go cheap imo

go cheap on your tent, build it with wood and reflective insulation at Lowe’s with a plastic lining inbetween for negative pressure, and buy a HEPA 3M air filter and cheap out on air flow and tent before you cheap out on the light. The light is your sun and THE most important input for your plant.

No one was saying they weren't assembled in the USA.
It is interesting to see they are manufacturing the 648 inhouse now. Originally they were being produced by samsung for hlg.
Curious if the boards are still badged samsung like the early boards i have.

Yeah it’s highly unlikely that 1 machine they have makes all the pcb’s they sell.

Did i miss the part where hlg made that claim?
In the past they were always up front about not building all the boards inhouse
