kevinccho, representative of Hidxtra, did post last summer. Based on his "nice" posts, I will never deal with that company!
Considering this was the first post of lighting1288, I would not be surprised if he worked for that company.

I agree 100%, i hope Empath sees this thread soon & takes swift decisive action to end this charade!

Well, maybe I'm being presumptuous, but the post does have a 'sales pitch' kind of slur to it in some sense :D

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Ok then. The Brightstar is equal to the AE in every way, with the exception of brightness, durability, quality, honest marketing and customer service.

There's nothing wrong with promoting products which you have had good experiences with, I do it all the time, it's just that it seems a bit sus when someone joins a forum just to promote a product, and then refuses to listen to the facts regarding that product when others challenge their position.

After re-reading this thread it seems quite apparent to me the Lighting1288 = Kevinchho.

If I'm wrong I apologize but I'm almost never wrong :)

I think he is posting constantly to "bump" this thread to the top of the list in a sales ploy.

If you READ all the other posts you would see that we are NOT trashing the brightstar. I'll be the first to admit it is better than the Wolf-eyes 24w. What we ARE all saying is that DON'T buy a brightstar from hidxtra because he was banned from CPF for being abusive & disrespectful towards other members.

I didnt know it was banned until I heard from you. At least the price and the service was ok. the shipping was very fast.

After reading the review ( by a banned member ), brightstar is pretty much the same light compare to AE.. I dont really see the difference for these 2 lights.. even the on off switch are the same... I am confused now:sweat:

but still, the price is still good for the brightstar light...
