I see "respectful" went right out the window. As for the "armchair expert on TW," You might want to check out his qualifications. He's a renowned expert on automotive lighting. Just check out some of his instrumented testing. You have nothing on him except your opinions - with no instrumented testing to back them up.
Dood, are you that dense. His own data on TW refutes what he says. His very own instrument tests show nothing matches. He even has to qualify his own conclusion or otherwise it will be easy to discredit.
His very own data and his conclusion:
LIGHT OUTPUT; doesn't match
LIGHT BEAM: doesn't match
Dimensions: doesn't match
Construction: doesn't match
Lens fins: matches but output and beam not the same.
Lens tech: both uses TIR technology
Conclusion: its must be an "inferior" clone, since the data doesn't match between the two products, he has to qualify his statement or his data wont support his conclusion.
Diode dynamics HOLD NO PATENTS on TIR technology. Go look it up yourself.
Diode dynamics HOLD NO PATENTS on 3 inch LED cube lights. GO look it up yourself.
Diode dynamics HOLD NO PATENTS on anything related to this product.
Diode Dynamics HOLD 1 patent on LED construction that isn't used in this application. Go look this up for yourself.
You are so full of hate on chinese made products that you can't even look at the data for yourself, so you just blindly believe whatever people tell you to believe.
FYI, i wasn't calling the guy on TW an internet armchair expert.. I was calling you out since you can't substantiate any of your claims. You just use emotional appeal and bias as the sole basis of supporting your argument. You literally discredit yourself.
Again this is the internet... everyone is an expert. If you try to qualify yourself, all you are doing is losing more credibility.
Seriously, stop shitting in my thread. I'm running out of toilet paper for you.
Go start your own thread, and cry elsewhere.
