I forgot about Owl,as far as I know they are the only US made Chip....all other LEDS,or the over whelming majority are from China.

I think that true especially in bowfishing, its a hobby so people demand low cost options, in commercial construction the cost is less important. There are more options for lighting. Different styles and the like. Owl uses Bridgelux high end chips which are made in usa, but bridgelux has chinese made stuff just like cree has both. Much like optics, you do get what you pay for and you pay alot for that 20% or so "extra". But the OWL with is far better heat sink, and chip, are a smokin good deal, if I didnt build my own Id buy them hands down.

I like the 2 Green 500 watt LED from RPM.. Have not got rid of the foot of ICE on the waters I shoot on yet but I am looking forward to trying them out soon.
