AliExpress xConnect

[DinoChickenSuit]

Hi all,

I am running a small show this year (~500-1k px), 5v, but i have a large area to cover (~40m frontage).

I am running a 5v Baldrick 8, but im extremely budget conscious.

I just saw an AliExpress sale on xConnect pigtails, and I was thinking, are they legit?

That is a legit seller.

Oh, you think they would be good?

I'm just always paranoid about buying things off of AliExpress

 

[Katekate]

That is Ray Wu. I have bought loads from him, as have many others.

Not doubting what you're saying, but the supplier says its 'Shenzhen Rita Lighting Technologies'

Yes that is Ray Wu. My show is 90% from him all the manufacturers have an aliexpress store.

Thank you!

Hmmm. When not signed in vs signed in there's a bit of difference in price.
At $4 for 10 pairs of 3 core 20cm I was going to grab some as that's cheaper than what I can get them and it's always good to have more stock.

Urrgh...

AliExpress strikes again

 

[Katekate]

yep, good old Welcome Deal trap. If you are a new account you get the cheapo price, but when you sign in to your existing you go back to normal price.

 

[DinoChickenSuit]

Buuutttt....

if I made a new account with the same card, I would get the deal, right?

 

[Katekate]

possibly? just use paypal or something
