Message him for barebone cases.

I'm in no way affiliated with this dude. I just have been looking for cases for our lights for DIY guys and he replied with a damn good offer.
Thanks for posting this to everyone. (and not keeping it a secret for yourself, like some). This is the kind of stuff that will help a lot of people save time & money while making the barrier to entry into DIY LEDs easier. Not to mention, safer more professional builds. Please keep us posted once you receive and inspect the cases.

Cheers

100% satisfaction or she will offer her vagina. At least that is what I see.

Really appreciate you sharing this.

You're talking about using the body's and not the LEDs with it right? If it's body only you're likely gonna need to run the cobs at low wattage unless you have a helicopter fan or water cooling. Not a lot of space for a large heat sink which means you need either a high cfm fan or low wattage pushed through your lights.

Happy to share.....but not my women

Hello BM9AGS,
I have some CXA2530 to run @500ma. I am sure the top cover could be opened up with a dremel or snips to suit other size options. If the price is right it is worth a punt.

I am lacking in the artisan creative attributes of @Growmau5. I have noticed that if I shout enough bad words at a project I can eventually get it up and running.

I am happy to share my woman if you promise not to give her back.:razz:

Cheers,
Will

I decided to get a couple of the ones @BM9AGS linked to in the OP. Got this response:
Dear friend,
if we need to ship the cases to the UK,
the price is $25(price)+$35(shipping cost)=$60 per unit.
so total is $60x4=$240.
is that ok for you?
Looking forward to your reply!
my best regards

I confirmed with them that it is just the case only nothing extra. Blank canvas I suppose.

I am trying to arrange a swap deal for my wife and the beauty in the picture. Might have to arrange a weekend away in China for the wife and I.:p

Cheers,
Will

She could easily disappear there!

Glad to see others getting cases.
If someone was half smart and had time they could make lights with them and sell them on eBay

Hmmm. I think the hardest thing would be stand out from the copious amount of shite on eBay. Most would go for the one that looks the same but so much cheaper. I would imagine people who understood the quality parts inside would be few and far between. You might get the odd someone who has read up on what's good and can't be bothered to DIY.

Cheers,

My dear friend in China has emailed me back and said they are out of stock and they could not sell them?
Seems odd. Not we will have some soon or it will be three weeks. Just we can not sell them?
Might just be difference in language. I have asked about their other cases. I like the look of that 9 COB beast.

On a positive note they seem open to the wife swap just need to talk money. The wife seems chuffed we might be going to China for a holiday.
When she is happy I feel well..... safer:shock:

Cheers,
Will

Another response after I asked about 9 COB case:
Dear Friend
many thanks for your fast reply!
today when i contacted our factory, they told me that we would not sell case of the light.
i am so sorry for that!
Looking forward to your reply!
my best regards


My reply:
Ummm, OK whatever. What about the wife exchange where are we at on that.
I must admit that I am somewhat aggrieved by your reneging on your offer for the cases.
If I am in fact your "dear friend", I feel it is conducive to our personal relationship that you see this wife exchange through.
Kind Regards,
Drowning man

Cheers,
Will
