I would never buy another star again that doesn't give performance ( sinkpad, or a dielectric )
also the higher current you run, the shitter they become.. they might be fine at 700ma and under, but your going to loose light just at the point of the star
but I guess I forgot to ask, these shipped on stars?
also seems a little low, but maybe they bought billions.. I can tell you they even went up in price maybe 1-2 months ago..
