Yes the package was there but making the die is the hard part.
Thoughts on the Zeus 308 board?

Depends on how many you get. $15.58 each for 1-9, $14.78 each for 10-24, $11.45 each for 25-99, and 100 or more is under 10 bucks each - I was able to get 100 from arrow last month for $974 and free shipping.

One tipp. Subscribe to arrows newsletter. So you will be informed about every discount and believe me, they do a lot.
I was lucky and got a 20% discount last years(around xmas). 26pcs. 2ft. F-strips and 8pcs BLX V18 for $ 250 shipped.

Yea! Should be enough!
To date, if one is looking for the most efficient way to optimally illuminate a certain surface, sooner or later they all will end up with strips. I'm not the only one who fully recommends strips for grow lights.
Are you going to become an advertiser like @diyled? Some advertising here could be helpful to generate the first few orders. It would be nice when we could "officially" recommend your store to people who are interested.

He'll probably ship to europe but expect high shipping cost and additional 20% custom fees.
For peeps like you (and me, btw) the best way is to get the strips from digikey.
You only have to add 19% VAT to your final price, but that's normal. Digikey shows only net prices, VAT will be different from country to country. There is not other way when you purchase on international level.
I got my strips for instance from arrow with a 20%! discount code but they splitted the items on two packages and shipped them with UPS and UPS wants 25$ extra fees for every package for the customs clearance.
In the end this destroyed almost all I've saved before! Next time I'll get them from digikey again, they use dhl, will add VAT and when they do, there is no need for any custom fees or custom clearance. A lot easier!
