Many have asked me about the light i am using for squid right now and there already is a number who are interested in buying one thus i am organising a bulk purchase in order to get a lower price.
Basically it has 3 led (white light) at 3W each (total 9W and shows like a 90W halogen) its body is aluminium and is waterproof and submersible and can be used both in ponds and in the also marine areas like on boats etc. The one i have has been used and tested..... both on land and underwater...... from piers and from on the boat....
Supplier details about the led -
QuoteFully waterproof light body (IP67) can work direct rain or underwater, Shake-proof, Energy-saving, Environment-friendly
- Material: Aluminum
- Ultra bright high intensity white light LED (Available Warm White/red/blue/green Color)
- Rated Power: 12V 3*3W
- Lumen: 700LM
- Color temperature: 6500K
Perfect for any outside use, boats etc.. It doesn't has to use in water, it's a garden light as well!
Dimensions: 3.15 in x 2.95 in x 2.95 in (8.0 cm x 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm)
Weight: 290g
the cost inc shipping to malta for 15-20 of these bulbs is circa 37-43 US dollar (28-32 euro) each. Which i am hoping to get lowered with a bulk order. so lets get a list going of who wants to join in stating ur name and qty. once we have an idea of how many are joining in, i can deal again with the supplier.
should you have any queries, kindly let me know.
Robert
Put me down for 1 Robby
how much does it cost? avarage price?
28-32 euro....... depends on freight, insurance and exchange rate.....
when i got mine a couple of months ago it cost around 40-45 euro in total........ in bulk, price should go down
Aw Rob, get one for me as requested when we met a few times for Kalamari..despite noting that this LED lamp did not attract anything, hope that it does not work in the opposite direction..hehe!!!!!!! Kemm irridu naghbdu Kalamari biex nifdu..xi haga ohra ghal lis store.
Jien ga atlek xirrid ok :P
Mela bigboy 10 bozoz u kaxxa vaselina Al insulation :-p

UPDATE:
just received this after querying different rates for these floodlights:
Dear robby0017,
Hi,
We can offer the
price as below:
1bulb US$: 56USD
3bulbs US$: 53USD
6bulbs US$: 50USD
9bulbs US$: 47USD
12bulbs US$:44USD
15bulbs US$:41USD
The above rates include postage etc.
We look forward to your confirmation. Thanks.
have a good day!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So far we have 13 booked, should we reach 15 we can get a better rate + i will try to get a further discount (not promising since there is already a discount of $15 dollar on each bulb if we do order 15)
Hopefully we'll find another 2 members interested in these lights........
In the mean time, later today i'll be sending you a pm on how to send me the money for these bulbs as i don't afford to pay out circa $550-$600 at one go.
details will be in the pm
Robby, from the latest list you posted I read 14 bulbs ordered. Also, it would be interesting if you could provide the source site. That way we can check out other items available from this site.
must have miscalculated...... it was around 2am when i last logged in......
the original site i bought it from was www.alibaba.com, however the seller is no longer there. thus, before originally posting here I contacted him via email expressing my interest in a bulk purchase of them.
as soon as i give confirmation of the amount we are ordering, i will also post the invoice here.
rob sent u PM
Robby - Alibaba.com is a sourcing site for suppliers. The supplier may not be listed on alibaba anymore, however I'm sure that this particualr supplier you are sourcing from has a website. All I asked you was to share the source, I cannot understand why that is so difficult. I trust you have done business with the supplier before, as some of the suppliers (Chinese) on alibaba are just a scam.
@ gaffer - i did originlly find the item on alibaba.com and asked to purchase 1 before i bought in bulk and the supplier accepted. All communication was done via email.
However, shannok just found a cheaper supplier on ebay... (thus the pm above)
price being 24 sterling which is equivalent to 28 euro.
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_kw=marine&_kw=floodlight
the one i have in hand is at the moment 41US dollar which is equivalent to 29.77 euro....
thus, shanook's is 1.77 cheaper.
N.B. -> i did not buy from this seller (ebay) so i will not be taking any responsibilty if the end product received is differant from the one that I have.
rob i didnt mean to interfere its jus that u found some difficulty in communication. I gave u the site just to lend a hand as a matter of fact i didnt post here but sent straight to u.
Its ur call whatever u want to do i agree. please inform us as u usually do.
the one on ebay does bulk discounts as well but if u sre not sure about the item if u want we can order one and see what it is like.....
kif tghiduli..... its ok ton, don't worry, all in the open is better, i'm not here to run a business just trying to help out as i always did and give as much of my free time as i can to the forum which has become so limited these past months... infact i updated the thread at 2 am as i didn't think i'd have any chance from work this morning....
as i told you, i had originally got mine for some 45 euro (circa $62) inc shipping of course after i had told him i want it in order to view it before bulk buying.
Why has the pic showing the LED lamp suddenly dissapeared from the site. All I asked was for the source, thinking that the source might have other marine related products, especially LED lights, since I'm thinking of installing some on the Gaffer. The when Robby posted saying its from Alibaba, I know alibaba, like everyone here I am sure does, and that's not the source, its just a sourcing site for suppliers. Then we get all touchy about transperancy and running a business and stuff like that. Geez, all I asked was a simple question, and all barricades are up!!
robby quick questions, bhala dawl ghal dghajsa navigation light turi fil boghod? jew fil vicin?
qed ndur d dghajsa bhalissa u wahda mill affarijiet li qed nzid hu dawl ghal sajd bil lejl. u personali nippreferi xi forma ta dawl quddiem (5-10m) boghod biex nkun nista nara jekk ikunx emm xi sinjal jew xi haga. ovvjament nuza ukoll ghal sajd tal klamari - mux frekwenti pero ax jin bix naqbad lixka, s sistema ha naghmilha b mod li din l bozza tkun tista tinqala. d dawl
x tahseb minnha bhala led ghal dan l uzu?
u billi jaqla xi haga minnhom r robby ma jkun fiha xejn ta sahha ha l intrigu nies...
imma jekk emm xi haga iktar addadata ghalija much appreciated robby
1. Ma kont ser naqla xejn, iktar nitlef mili naqla, meta izomm f rasek il hin norganizza u biex nigbor mil posta u nqassam u ir responsabilita jekk ma jaslux.
2. The pic left cos I was going to delete the whole topic as it seemed I was standing to make a profit out of it which is not the case but then I left the topic should the rest want to continue.
Granitu, that's the only item I know of. This seller has no website to go browse... However I am thinking he is an agent to the one shanook found as the later prices are cheaper and picture is similar if not the same.
I'm sorry - pardon my stupidity, but I've read the thread all over again, and I can't see any evidence that suggests you where going to make a profit. But then, even if you did, that's your perogative. If you think its a waste of time organising a purchase from the net to provide us with LED bulbs, then I do hope you imagine the time invested in keeping the whole forum running, organising a tournament, organising a magazine to support the tournament, chasing sponsors - literally, chasing advertisers - literally, meetings with various entities - literally, etc, etc, etc.
If you want to delete the whole topic, that's your perogative also.
Unfortunately that's the feeling I got... Typed things may be misinterpreted.
Well, SHE really does have a habit of complicating things....MISS Interpretation

re: the above,
i never said it was a waste of time, just said i was doing it to help out with no gain attached.......
re: running forum/ tournament/ magazine.... i appreciate the effort and you know you've got my support should you need it, just tell me.
Thanks Robby - just sent you a PM with suggested documents we require
Will get back to you asap as I'm not at the office right now.
Robby just a warning.Did you take note that when you are gone order a bulk quantity from outside E.U you will have to pay VAT and duty?If you just order 1 light is a thing and when you order bulk you will surely be held at customs! I am just trying to open your eyes.
ouch..... yes, you are surely right on that and i did not think about it.
that means on the individaul net price we get, we need to add a further 18% VAT if stopped at customs.
Spitec, you pay VAT on the value of the item and not the shipping cost as well.... just to double check....
Correction - you pay VAT on the full price (the invoice), cost of items plus shipping. On top of that , you also have to pay customs duty, I think its 3.5%.
kif ha namlu, shall i continue dealing with the new supplier shanook found..... items seem similar if not identical...
Re: Vat and duty, i don't think it will be much of an issue, in that case, when collecting money we need to collect a further 5 euro(circa 18% Vat on net amount of 30euro) and an extra 1euro for duty (3.5% on 30euro) on the price achieved and should Customs stop us, I can pay the VAT and duty upon collection, if they are not stopped, i will refund the differance upon collection of the lamps. should there be any differances we can settle them between us then.
what do you think?
Rob, I go along with what you or others decide....but I would need the light fitting by August latest.....Grazzi. Oh, gaffer...if you need real good top quality boat lights go to "yachtlights.com" from the USA....u @ Robby just noted on a few posts that you got the feeling or impression that some guys are suspecting that you intend to make some money on ordering these LED lights...If this is the case, and there are members (here I hope that I am mistaken) who envision such things I say "shame on you", how childish & stupid. Where has all the trust gone? Rather than being thankful, when someone takes an initiative, first thoughts by some morons are that money is being pocketed. Tal biki ta.
jien niehu 1 ukoll pls. Nintaqaw u nhalsek qabel tordna siehbi
Robby Vat is paid just on the invoice of the objects bought and not the shipping which is 18% and for the the duty I don't know exacltey but it's peanuts.It is impossible to the supplier to send that quantity as a gift or present because it will be a good quantity.I hope they don't stop you but I know what they do.
I'll ask if they can come in batches say of 5 each and I'll mail them in my name, my boss and a cousin of mine... And we'll just say they're for our garden... Legal tax avoidance and not illeagal tax evasion. Good idea?
rob why are u going into all this hassle ......the URL is there and anyone can order personally and they wont be charged VAT on such a small item.
those who are not familiar with ordering on Ebay can do the order thru you but maybe u will only have to do one batch......trying to ave u a bit of hassle man....Always ur call
Mhux xorta ton, tordna 5 Jew 10 Jew 15 mhux xorta... Tomorrow I'l email the eBay supplier and see what I'll get.

Nispera li kumment li mhux qed tghid ghailja, ghax f dak l kaz, veru jin fl eta izghar imma tkun veru childish int. Jin ma nafx jekk r robby hux ha jaqla jew le imma frankament jista jaqla - imqar li jgib ghalih tigih b xejn - sahha l intrigu li jirrispondi lilna(lili nkluz) ghal domandi fuqhom. L bluha hi li ahna l maltin nippretendu li kulhadd jaghmel kollox ta xejn.... issa frankament sta ghalih r robby x jaghmel imma l prezz hu tajjeb hafna.
tkellimt ghax sahha ha l intrigu kien hawn min qabez fuqu u kielu ghax ma tax s sors. - ifem jekk tfittex ssib
Personalment ma rridx ninhela fuq hmerijiet
Guys... Enough. There will be no profit and I'll do my best to get the lowest price. Full stop. Today I'll be contacting the eBay supplier and I'll update you accordingly...
for those interested..... tonight i'll be going fishing for squid if you want to come and see the light's performance.... and have a chat whilst we're at it :)

robby,i have send you an email. please read it and tell me what you think.
regards.
replied... feel free to upload what you sent me here.
well.................actually...................i have no clue how to do it! lol
just copy and paste onto the forum board
I'll do it when I get a minute filkas.
from : robby017
to: caldaland
i have one of the ones i am proposing and many have seen it being used. I think the no.1 pro is that it is submersable and its a white light, another pro is that it is smaller and lighter in weight by around half a kg or so.... secondly, there is no hidden charges as the postage is already included and any defects will be replaced since its through ebay now... although i am still waiting for a quoatation, i believe we'll get a cheaper price through ebay.
robert
to:robby017
from: caldaland
i use one of these in my marine set-up with no problems. it is made of aluminium.the ones you are suggesting would end up being at least some 35 euros including taxes and maybe courier hidden charges.besides,there is always the risk the will never arrive.or,there may be defects.these are 7000k which makes them pure white and not yellowish although 6500k is also very good. considering all the pros and cons,for 10 euros more ill get a better floodlight with no risks at all.
regards
caldaland
from: robby017@hotmail.com
to: caldaland
thanks for bringing this to my attention and feel free to post on the forum as an other alternative, however, this you brought forward is not submersible and is not described for marine use.... and I am assuming its got a plastic body.....
now with 45euro per item i do not know if they'll opt for it as i've already secured a price of 28-29 euro per item exc VAT for a fully submersible (or not submersible) strong alluminium cased flood light.
What do you think?
thanks again
Robert

,
The price for the attached floodlight is €55 each, however we can give you a discount of 10euro on each unit. Therefore the price is of 45euro only each
Best Regards,
(I have removed 3rd party names and email address's on purpose as I do not have their go ahead to distribute them)
attached is the pdf sent.
just a reminder : for those interested..... tonight i'll be going fishing for squid if you want to come and see the floodlight's performance on 12V car battery and have a chat(or cast) whilst we're at it, i will be at Sirens St Paul's bay between 6.45 and 8.30....
will try to pop over rob
Stennejtek ton... Can confirm st Paul's bay is dead... Anzi gew 2 sardiniet fid dawl.
sorry mate, couldnt make it....maaaaaaaa what a disgrace
Am giving up on squid this year!
Below is my correspondance with the ebay seller.....
Basically he offered them to me at 34.75US dollar instead of 38US dollar.
So, we'll be getting them for circa 25.40 euro inc shipping instead of circa 28euro.
thanks to shanook, this is much cheaper than the original supplier i dealt with who only went down to 41Us dollar/29.78euro inc shipping.
I will later send you all the final price with an estimate of VAT and Customs Duty and should there be any differances when we recieve the bulbs, I will settle with everyone then.
if you have any queries just let me know.
...
from ebay seller
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
16-20 bulbs: 34.75USD for each.
Thanks.
2011/3/1 Robert Attard <robby017@hotmail.com>
I am interested in purchasing a bulk order of 16 of these floodlights and maybe even more
Please give me prices for :
16 bulbs ?
17 bulbs ?
18 bulbs?
19 bulbs?
20 bulbs?
Late this week I should be placing an order if the price you give me is good...
Please give me good discount and I hope this will be a good start to future business together.
Thanks.
Robert
Rob, these lights that we are going to purchase..are they good for Kalamari or Sardines..its confusing seeing that the only thing that's been attracted to them in all the outings are a couple of Sardines....LOL
Heq, the light attracts the bait fish! The bait fish attract squid! Imma jekk m hawnx squid... ???
Price net of VAT if bulbs make it through Customs without stopping, circa 25.20euro each.....
If stopped at customs, we will have to add VAT at 18% of full price which is circa 4.54euro and Customs Duty on full price at 3.5% is 1.04euro......
thus total cost if stopped by customs is 30.68euro (Lm13.17).... therefore, I will be collecting 31euro for each bulb order placed and when we recieve the bulbs i will give out the change accordingly.....
your feedback on this is appreciated....
