Good luck on that. They're sourced from multiple manufacturers in China so there is not a "distinct brand" as there are with most other things.

Electronics are murky when you get into the whole "slow boat" sourcing thing.

Yea, thats what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure all the LEDS being sold today for the most part are from China. Probably all made side by side haha

Yeah all i've ever seen are. I don't know how it works over there... they may all share the molds/etc... or plans, not sure. The LED Headlight bulbs we sell are available as well from other places, but we've seen that there are differences with the internals it seems.Some ballasts work (like ours) and some don't (like XYZ brand) so go figure. I've never been over there myself.

I know if you own a patent nobody else can make it, but none of this stuff is patent... what is odd is they all look IDENTICAL so it makes you wonder is there ONE guy making it and a few dozen guys reselling them OR are there many guys MAKING them and one guy sold them all the plans or everybody duplicated them...

Diode Dynamics told me on the phone that most of there's are made off shore also. " Chinese made stuff..."
Looks like it's a shot in the dark
