I am inviting any and all led light manufacturers/sellers to participate. I have purchased a light meter, and several other testing tools I will use along with 2 led lights off of ebay. Both lights are purchased are labeled as 120v warm white lights so I'd prefer to test the same from any manufacturers willing to participate. What I would like is for any company willing to participate to send me a 120v 50w warm white led and I will do non biased, non destructive testing on all units. I will return the lights to the manufacturer at my own cost or purchase them if I so choose. So tell your favorite light company you'd like for them to participate and i will put an end to the light debate!
LED light shootout!!!

You're the man Tim! Only yourself and Chad(customfitz) have helped me out with this little project so far. I have to say a big :tu: to you for throwing your product out there for me to test!

If one of the big names won't send you a light, I'll buy one and ship it to you. If your scared buy a dog.

I definitely appreciate any support from members to pitch in and help supply lights for testing. I have posted what I have committed to me as well as what I've purchased as well. If you want to see one of the "big name" lights I would love that, as currently I'll be forking money out of my pocket to test one of these

I agree completely. I'm pretty bummed that none of the "high end" light companies stepped up. I have 6 fleabay 50 watts on my boat now and they have worked fine for me. I got a new boat and was looking to buy 10 of the new expensive ones thinking they may just be that much better.
After no one would step up I just decided to keep using my fleabay 50 watts and ordered 4 more to get my 10. If the big name companies don't have enough confidence in their product to do a simple side by side test to prove they are worth 4 times as much as the cheap ones I'm sure as he'll not gonna fork out the extra cash.

Guess the gig is up for those companies. Even if they are a touch better I won't buy their lights since they won't stand behind them

This is going to be a "put up or shut up" deal for all the big name companies.
I look forward to the test results.

No flack as of yet, hopefully not though. This is not to "call anyone out" or attempt to make someone look bad, this is simply to "put an end" to what's what in the world of LEDSMoney SENT!!!! Hopefully that gets me the special reportThanks for stepping up on this. I imagine your going to catch some flack (if you havn't already).

What light do you want from the one company we all know is ducking. I order 1 light or send you the money to order it. I've spent millions of dollars on overseas production for companies I have owned. I had them research the lights and got into it with one of these light companies. I'll be glad to put my money where my mouth is. Pm me what you need .

In my opinion you have gone about this completely wrong. If you wanted a true test of what light is best, you should have secretly ordered a light from each manufacturer, without them knowing. Tested each light and them posted results. If I was a betting man the other lights will not be the lights that their customers are receiving. Our lights are gone through and double sealed from the manufacturer, water tested, and sent out. Every light our customers receives have been submerged and tested for 15min in 3 feet of water. You will be receiving a light Mr. Bollom...but I am not a fan of this testing. Thats right people...SeeLite is stepping up....we aint got nothing to hide here! There is a reason people say we are the best! #1 in customer satisfaction and product happiness!

Don't think this test has anything to do with how waterproof the light is, or how long and how many feet of water it can be submerged in. Nobody doubts that your lights are probably better than the cheap lights in that category, the light output is what we would like to know compared to others. Either way glad to see you all are stepping up just wish it hadn't taken so long!
