  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Group Buy: Budget CRI 95 LED Strip Lights

Brandon J.F. said:
Jack, I emailed Trung in June, once controllers were ready to ship, asking for his address. He never replied. I emailed him again in August, from another email address in case the main one was caught in a spam filter, and he replied a month later. I sent a payment request for the shipping charges, he still hasn't paid yet.

This whole situation has been very confusing and not easy to keep track of. I don't even have an order or account for a "Jack Smith" anywhere. I don't even have an email address for you. It appears someone named Hieu Le paid for your order and I have never received an email from her saying to make the transfer to Trung only a DM here from you and some old emails from Trung. In 2016 Trung even bought one of those IR filters I had, which he has long since received, and that was paid for by Hieu Le also. I assume this is all on the up-and-up and you are somehow connected, but it's very confusing!

At this point, I don't even care who or what or where this order goes to. I am emailing Trung again now and CC'ing Hieu Le on it. I would include you, but I don't have an email address. The order will go out the day the shipping charges are paid.

And I really don't appreciate the personal attack you made. I have spent the last 2 years of my life wearing this group buy like an albatross around my neck as I pay down the debt I took on to finish the controllers. There is so much I would much rather be doing with my life. I've also shipped over 1,000 orders, over 2 tons of product so far, and lights started shipping in early 2015. None of this is easy, and situations like yours, which are extremely confusing, make it much all harder to manage.

I'm doing the best I can.

Clicking send on that email now. Please see to it that Trung, Hieu Le, or whoever replies.

Let's wrap this up, finally.

Happy Holidays

I've contacted my friend and he told me the last email that replied back to you is in September where he replied with the shipping address.
He has checked spam box and has not received any other email from you. Please check the screenshot here:

I'm not sure what's going on as well but can you please reply back to him or just send him new email to follow up.
 
Hi Brandon,

I have not contacted you in over a year but I am still "patiently" waiting for updated controller and a couple of light strips.

Let me know if you cannot find my 'paid for' order. I can come up with the order information if I need to.

Thanks,

Alan

PS I don't do Facebook so have to contact you here.

Jack, this is beyond stupid. I've sent emails to every email address I have associated with "Trung" and you and heard nothing back!

Here's my screenshot:

(note that I blurred out personal details)

This can all be solved VERY easily by you sending me a DM with your email address like I've asked for. It can be solved even faster if I just send the lights to you and you hand them to Trung in person. Another option is Trung himself emailing me instead of just sending you screenshots. This is so beyond stupid.

If it was just Trung that was not getting my emails I may buy that, but I have a hard time believing "hiroko2009" is also not getting my emails considering that email uses the same email provider I use. It is starting to feel like I'm just being run in circles here.

DM ME YOUR EMAIL AND SHIPPING DETAILS AND LET'S BE DONE WITH THIS.

Hey Alan, you never activated your account or added your shipping information. You may have missed the emails. I just sent the invite again to you. You can also DM me your shipping details here. Include your email if it has changed.
 
For those of you with mat and power unit upgrades who are not in the Facebook group, I set up a hidden blog that I will also keep updated. Bookmark the page and you can always check there for the latest information.

Here's the link:

What 3-pin connectors are everybody using for the variable strips? I've already done some testing and now it'd time to do some soldering, just need to decide on the connectors.

Trung told me that he has never seen nor received the email (screenshot attached). I don't know what has gone wrong but let's settle this once and for all.
I've PM you about his paypay email address so that you can send paypal payment request and also confirmed shipping address.
Please check your reduser's privatemessage inbox and please let me know once you have sent out the paypal request to his paypal account.
Thanks
 
Hi Brandon,

Can you please email me the Solaris instructions, as well as how to power them with your power supplies (AC/DC Adapter JCY-12100)?

Thanks

Jeff
 
Hi everyone on this thread,

Does anyone know how to power the Solaris controllers with the power supplies Brandon sold with them? If so, can they please post here how?

There are no inputs on the Solaris that match the plug on his JCY-12100 power adapters. Are we supposed to cut open the adapter's cable and figure out the connections ourselves?

And once the Solaris is then powered up, which green inputs do the 3 VCK-1 wires (brown, yellow, white) and 2 FCK-1 wires (red, black) go into to attach the LED variable, daylight and tungsten strips?

Thanks in advance. And if the answer to this is already in the 321 page thread, can someone please point me to it? Haven't had time to go through all the pages to find directions to Brandon's products. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Jeff, please check your email. I wrote you directly about this.
 
Thanks, Brandon!
I was shooting all yesterday and just saw your email.
Appreciate the follow-up!
 
Brandon, can you please let me know what I need to do to get my order fulfilled? Am I missing an address confirmation?
 
Brandon,

Please email me, as I have left several messages to Koraled with no response.

Jeff
 
Brandon - I sent you my address in my original order in 2015. Obviously you got it, for you sent me the LEDs I ordered, however, never got the controller that I paid for. I have been very patient, due to the postings you left. However, on December 16, 2017, after contacting you, you asked me to email my address so you could ship to me. I did January 20, 2018. I emailed you my address again on September 30, 2018. I see now there is no address under my KoraLED account, so I am adding now, however, if that is the proclaimed reason for not sending the controller, well... that's kind of pushing it. The LEDs are great, but I'd appreciate clearing this up.
 
Jeff, I got your address confirmation on the 30th. The warehouse has been on holiday and will open back up in a few days. I will be in touch this week.

HD, there was a bug found in the software in December 2017 and it took until May to get fixed completely and for me to receive all the controllers. There were a lot of updates here and in the group about it. I emailed you on May 23rd, 2018 about your controllers and the rest of your order and never got a response. I sent another in September. They were bulk emails so it's possible they ended up in your spam folder. That happened with several people. I just emailed you again now directly. Please take a look.
 
Sorry, no email from you, other then the last one 12.16.2017. Nothing in spam/junk mail either. I have sent you other emails, so you do have a direct link to respond to.

EDIT: Mixed you up with someone else with a similar email, Dale! It can get confusing. Emailing you back now.
