Yes thanks i did read that thread, and got the c6-70FWR which i guess is c6 bulb 70 Leds full wave rectified but i would like to know the input voltage i'm guessing 220v as john is in thailand but i'm only guessing.

My only inquiries to David have been regarding 115VAC strings.  I wanted to add to my collection of 115VAC C6-70's - Phil you're right about the string specs - which I got from Travis last year.  I don't know if he has other voltages available, but my guess is that they can do anything at his factory.

Oh, and I did ask about 5mm LED 70-lt Icicle Sets too.  His price was at least half what I've seen anywhere online.

Just curious, does he sell just the bulbs also?  I would like to replace a lot of C9s this year with LEDs and just couldn't justify the pricing in the pre-order sales.  Thanks!!!

Not sure he is sending me samples of each thing they make to test and see if we might be able to do coops on DLA for lights. Also so I can sample them for Light Normalizing.

RJ... that is great news.  I had only sent you two colors of C6-70's and they were not from David, but similar.  I'm thrilled that you'll be sampling David's strings for Light Normalization!  As soon as I get more samples from him I'm going to order 100+ sets.  Can't beat the price nor the shipping direct to me in Bangkok.

He is also sending me some samples of C9 LED bulbs.  He indicates that he owns LOR hardware and that they work with it.  He also said if we could get a large group order, it would save a lot on shipping costs.  The only problem I see with that is that we will actually have to pay twice for shipping, not sure if we will save enough due to that or not.

ThaiWay, can you give us any kind of hint at what the prices are comparable to?  He did not tell me in his e-mails, just said he was going to send me some samples.

Shipping is the biggest hurdle.   

 I was going to get a 2 meter speciman of a 4 color LED ropelight (from a different source).  The price for the rope was good but no freebies.   When he finally figured out the shipping (they wouldn't ship for free), it was much more than the actual price of the rope.    The only way I could get a decent price on the shipping would be to get their "minimum quantity".    Forking over  more than $10,000 on an unknown was definitely not in the cards.   

I still get that periodic email from them and may eventually reconsider contacting them to see if they might be more open to negotiaion on a sample.
