I know for a FACT, that the majority of these high priced LEDS are coming directly from china , with American companies putting their logos on them. After opening my LEDs that I payed an assload for and comparing them to a EXACTLY matching chinese made LED, the specs and companies listed inside were an exact match, but $100 bucks cheaper. I know LED makers need to make money, but do a little research on google and you will be very surprised.
