This is opposite to the linked post.

The post stated they received LEDs in excess of expectation for quality and low cost for small production run size.

They got the quality and more.

If interested, ask how.

Trivia fact:

Nichia is not only a Japanese company, but they are the inventors of the now ubiquitous GaN blue-LEDs; or at least Shuji Nakamura was working there when he invented them.

I had the experience dealing with some Japaneses companies when they tested the chips we developed. Their level of testing surpassed what most of the companies in the US here do when they qualify a part. They don't take your word on the specs and do their own testing when possible.

Watch Gung Ho for a mostly-accurate comedy relating to this.

The article is about him calling someone at Nichia USA[1] to acquire some LEDs and complaining about all the cheap crap flooding ebay from China. The comment above is perfectly appropriate.

[1] Nichia is a Japanese company with US offices.

The company the author refers to in the article is not Chinese.
