I came across this kit on ebay - yes it ships from china but it does say cb bin cree comes in 3500k - any one have experience cause it is a lot less then the ones on timber
I have tried to source the parts and pieces and I dont see how i could build for less especialy with the cree's i see them for like 31 bucks apeace cheapest.Looks decent, most of those parts are coming from China anyhow including much of those pin fin sinks. You probably wont get the top end bins which may mean slightly less output) but the components look good as well as the lenses. You could build it for cheaper, but this is a good start I would think. Just get some aluminum angle bar and get cutting.

You can always upgrade it with better COBs if they turn out shit. Cree COBs are built in China, the heatsinks are built in China, the Drivers are built in China (or Taiwan if you don't follow One China.) but I agree you never really know when they come from China on Ebay. I do however disagree about reflectors being not needed. 180 degree wastes a lot of energy when you could focus it downward at 120 or such. Its not a steal but it will get you going.
I think RapidLED is out of Vermont.
