AE Light PL14 & PL24 clones?

[Stereodude]

Has anyone seen this one before?

I wonder if it's really just as good like they claim... oo:

Re: AE PL-14 knockoff?

I'm astounded at how similar it looks, even the wall plug! I wonder if it's made in the same place and then goes through back channel distributors like DX or something. Crazy...:huh:

They claim right in the listing that it's made in the same factory.

Jeez that's a good price...and free shipping too. Are you gonna get one?

Maybe... I'm thinking to send them a message and see if they have the higher wattage ones also.

Were you able to get any answers from those folks?

Oh well, it is an Ebay store after all. I guess we shouldn't hold our breath right?

Suppose not... I'm in no hurry to buy, so I've got some time. :candle:

Re: AE PL-14 knockoff?

Here is their slightly cryptic response:

hello,

we have PL24 and PL14.

PL 24 : $xxx.00 shipped.
PL 14 : $xxx.00 shipped.

they are exactly the same item.

let us know when you are ready to purchase.

tks

:shrug: I guess that means that's the PL24-S (assuming they mean they look exactly the same, not that they are the same). I will send a follow up note to confirm.

Edited to remove price to avoid the price going up do to outside forces like what happened in this thread and this thread.

Re: AE PL-14 knockoff?

Still waiting on a reply to my follow up note.

Re: AE PL-14 knockoff?

There was a reply in my inbox waiting for me this morning from them. They are selling the standard PL24, not the shorty. I think I will have to buy one. oo:

I'm interested but not willing to be the guenie pig.

I personally don't see it as a high risk item. Yes, it's still fairly expensive, but if it's really made in the same factory it seems like a pretty safe bet. It's not like it's a totally new design by some unknown company. :shrug:

I agree. I also don't see it as "high risk".....no more than DX anyway. Now, were both lights the same price that you had originally posted?

I sent you a PM.

I like it. Let me know if and when they may have the off branded Xenide 20W equivalent available :thumbsup: .

I asked about the Xenide's and they said they only have the PL14 and PL24 (non shorty). :sigh:

Got it! Thanks Stereo...

Are you any closer to getting one yet? I have a 24/S and a Xe25 already. Maybe the 14w would fill in the gap between the 10w and 24W lights....


hmm.........:thinking:

I sent them an e-mail telling them I wanted to buy a PL24, and asking for confirmation of the battery capacity. Given their past response time I'm guessing it will be a few days.
