genesis manafacturer maybe

Hi all,
I think i found the manufacturer of the calumet genesis lights...the only problem, smallest order it 20 units. Maybe we get 20 people togeather and get them quicker than from calumet. lol

heres a link

I know it's hard to keep up around here but our very own tetrode has had this information for some time now.

IF you somehow managed to get 20 people (who trusted you with their money) I still highly doubt you would receive any lights before calumet can put them out the door =)

Factories like this one often list their manufacturing capacities. In this case they indicate a capacity of 5,000 units/month. If Calumet's already back-logged on delivery, they're waiting on the factory to build and deliver this month's 5,000 units as quick as possible and our little order of 20 units would be sent sometime thereafter. Several threads have pointed users to Calumet's Chinese manufacturing site, the first of which was Dave's (Tetrode). I thought along the lines you mentioned once as well, but by the time you secure funds, handle the international shipping, import fees and taxation issues ... waiting on Calumet's next batch isn't a bad option.

Calumet's just a victim of their success with these Genesis lights. Most everyone that's purchased them has positive reviews, likes all their features, and appreciates the great price-point. Now that the buzz is wide spread about them and order volume has increased significantly, potential purchasers are becoming aggravated at the delays in delivery. Understandable (I like immediate gratification on my purchases as well).

Yet despite their delays and the fact that they keep pushing their date back I put in a pre-order.... ugh...

You could have bees in your house in a couple days

Yah but that would cost about $300 more to achieve the same result (if not better in calumet's favor) =p

I think the only reason you would want to pool resources and buy manufacturer direct is if you wanted to adapt their basic flash design in some fashion and create your own product.
