so with a burnt diode, you are selling for virtually the same price as i could buy from Ali Express or Factory Direct?

What did you pay for this new?

The ones I am looking at all come with 1-3 year warranty...

totally same light.

Just a different label and finishing..

MR60 is the US version.

The version linked is the manufacturer.

still the same thing...

Same components and features...just a different brand and finishing.

Happens all the time when dealing with China.

In my line of work, I import generators for example that are identical to a major brand...same factory, same specs, same everything except theirs are green, ours are red.

oh yeah, and ours cost half at retail.

Thats why I'm looking to order factory direct...skip out on the 30 point markup the distributors put on it.

I'm pretty sure ours r diff. The 1s U linked r full spectrum mines r blue and white. But if u insist n u found for just 60$ why not just buy it then? I don't think it can go any lower than that or it will just be an empty casing. If it were me I wouldn't trust it when they label both 165w and then calculating 55wx3 to be 120w.

Default Hmm

Mr60 only has 28 3w leds, marsaqua has 55 x 3w leds. Offer is there for you gobytron u can use my US address anytime u want. $99.99 on eBay, and sometimes they have them for $89.99. Even cheaper if u order 2. From the 2 marsaqua lights I have seen, they definatly grow any sps u want, but seem to be very yellow to the eye. Jason many of the 165w leds actually only run at 120w.
