Ray Wu Alternative source

[MrChristmas2000]

Has anybody explored an alternative source for the DiyLight Animation RGB strings etc than purchasing from Ray?

If Ray went away tomorrow  or became unresponsive then getting product would become difficult.

In the engineering community it is always good to have a second source for everything. It also keeps your primary vendor on his/her toes and pricing could become even more competitive.

Just thinking out loud.

I have, I know others have. If you do a search you will have many results for the same thing. Ray is usually cheeper than most of the others listed. I have always had good service.

I had contact last year with Jack Huang. He is a supplier of lights to Ray Wu. His prices were lower, Example: ray $42 for rm 1809, Jack $42 for 5m 1809.

I stayed with Ray because of his track record over many years. I paid to Ray through Pay Pal, Jack just has no history yet.

 kinda looks like they where the same price of $42 not picking on you was just wondering where the savings would be

Sometimes availability is more important than price.

I have had pretty good experience with him as well but he seems to be a little slow responding to an RFQ right now and that brought up potential second sources on my radar. I'll give him a couple more days to respond before I start my second source quest.

At one point Ray was an unknown and it took some time and experience to develop a comfort level with his service as well.

I have lived in HK and know that a business there can be up and operating full blast one day and poof gone the next day no explanation given. And that's when it was under British rule.
