COB kits from "manufacturer"

[fdashty]

Hey everyone, what do y'all think of this deal from Alibaba (Kingbrite):
10pcs of Original Citizen CLU048 1212 3500K 80CRI cob
10pcs of thermal tape
10pcs of Ideal holder 50-2204CT
10pcs of Ideal 50-2100AN
10pcs of KingBrite Reflector KB-D82-90RF
10pcs of Pre-drilled Passive heatsink Φ133*H70mm(for 55-65W)
10pcs of Wago quick connectors
2pcs of Original MW driver HLG-240H-C1400B

1pcs of TOCOS (soldered) 100K linear potentiometer
Cables + Screws
$181.0usd/set
shipping cost: $110.0usd by DHL
paypal charge: 3.8%
Total cost: $489.93usd

It's so much cheaper than I can find anywhere. Rapidled puts me at $650, not including tax and shipping for perspective.

I bought from KingBrite in the past and they were great. I did plenty of research about them before the order to be sure about it. Everything was top quality, and shipping was a matter of days (impressive, coming from China.) The only sour point was precisely the cost of shipping, which isn't really their fault, and even with the high cost of shipping it was still cheaper than the other suppliers which offer "free shipping".

Bottom line: go for it

I got my order from kingbrite in 3 days, CHINA to EU! Great!
Give a look at the thread about where to order, you can find some info!
Btw I wouldn't go for kingbrite anymore due to high shipping costs and cheaper options

I got my COB and driver from Arrow

But couldn't find any cheap suppliers for those passive pre-drilled heatsinks (to europe). So might buy total package from KingBrite next time.

Anything secret, just a matter of costs. I find it is cheaper for me buying Artic Alpine 11 for 10eur from amazon and drill holes myself. Citizen 1212 gen6, 10eur/cob from ebay with dhl shipping.
I prefer to do some additional drilling work than paying so much for shipping.
