LED Equipped (LEDQUSA)

[Bigredinstalls]

Anyone heard of them? Some of their products look very similar to STL Sh*t. I confronted them on it when they called and said that it's because they use the same manufacturer as them and as LED Outfitters. Any-who... What have yall heard?

A search of the listed phone number shows ownership by a Effy Hematian (which makes zero sense to me...why would a jewelry store owner be selling EVE?)


Also owner of a watch company, which was reviewed here: Store Information for EffyTime and an Amazon Store here, and also registered ultimateleds.com

Funny thing is...they show all the cars on their intro page with good equipment and then link you to the crapola....

Indeed. You can't exactly take the company seriously if even the vehicles in their website header aren't using their equipment....

Oddly, I got a call from them today. The gentleman wanted me to check out there web catalog and touted the low, low pricing. I asked where the products were made, and he replied China with zero hesitation or misdirection. I told him I prefer to use products which are primarily manufactured in the US by US-based companies. I also stated that I had several sources for Chinese lights already. He again emphasized the pricing difference and got a bit snarky. I told him there was more to it than just the pricing and we concluded the call.


I looked at the site anyways. The pricing is very low and that should be a clue. I find it interesting and ironic that the images prominently displayed on their site's home page banner appear to be stock images and do not show their products, install work, or ideas. That's a clue, too. It's plain tacky to display Whelen products, which are premium products made in the USA, to sell off-shore products that generously "borrow" from other manufacturer's designs.


I also note that the site displays wholesale pricing and asks that you call for retail pricing. Seems backwards and I wouldn't want customers to know what I paid or have the impression they can buy it for my cost. I realize that pricing is pretty open in this industry, but unless the customer knows your true price, they can only speculate.


Good luck to them...but not for me.

That last one sure seems to have changed things alot. Then again I really don't understand what all that means

 

[JazzDad]

I am thinking of buying one of their "VEHICLE ELECTRONICAL SIREN AMPLIFIER". The "tool" sound is intriguing enough.

 

[Hoser]

Its states in the upper Rt corner, Wholesale Division, please call for pricing.....That makes lots of sense, with the photo's in the header I would be leery of bait and switch.

They called me today also, Thats why I'm inquiring lol. Whole thing seems a little sketchy to me. Although they did tell me that their products are used widely in New York.

I'll call that bluff...Most people in NYC use the real deal...You can't convince a Hatzolah member to buy anything but Whelen or Fed Sig. They're determined to spend as much as possible... :weird:

Hey $9.99 for a knock off fireball I think I'll get 2 for my kids petal fire truck lol

Hey $9.99 for a knock off fireball I think I'll get 2 for my kids petal fire truck lol

No, you won't...he wanted a minimum order of $5,000 from me. Needless to say, I didn't place the order.

 

[SirenWorld.com]

I got a call today as well... nice to see that I can always come to ELB and find out I'm not alone. Too bad it's crap and they want a big buy in. I wish them the best... There's a market for it, just not on my site.

 

[ledguy]

I guess he's calling all the feniex dealers

 

[Jamey@NNE]

Hasent called me yet lol I hope he dont

 

[EMT-BLS]

Hasent called me yet lol I hope he dont

Nah...what we need to do, is all come together and make a group buy. If all the dealers buy one dash light, we'd meet the purchase requirements...and then all post reviews on the pile of flaming garbage we just got. :thumbsup:

 

[JazzDad]

I think I'll call him and offer some superior JazzDad products. (10,000 minimum.)

 

[LED]

Nice stolen images on the main page..

Thank You

I simply told them to stop spamming me

 

[MEVS06]

I was also contacted by them. Thats funny. Craptastic Lighting Equipped is what they should have named there company.

 

[FatherOfFour]

I got contacted by them too. Took 1 look at their website and saw the bait/switch with the images, and decided I want nothing to do with them. I kindly explained that to them in a reply email.

 

[Tom]

I got a phone call and an email a few days ago. I was a little skeptical.


Seems like a one man show, he's from Great Neck NY, he uses a gmail email instead of a legit business email, no location/real company info on the site..... sounds very familiar. :undecided:

Just sayin'


Also, the domain was JUST registered LAST MONTH, so the business is not established.

 

[Jamey@NNE]

I finally got the same email yesterday.

 

[MEVS06]

We should all reply to the email with a linky to this thread, maybe he will get a hint that we are professionals and not some fly by night operations... like himself.

 

[Signal9KY]

Yep got the same email yesterday, looks like crap to me.

 

[Jman423]

I agree :yes:

 

[FatherOfFour]

SO, I emailed them, and got some responses. For your reading pleasure:


Me to Them:

Thank you for contacting me. I must say, I have some serious concerns. Your website shows high quality American made products on the vehicles, yet that’s not what you sell. I’m also seriously concerned that your website is owned by a Watch Company as opposed to an actual Emergency Lighting company. I am currently looking for an economy product line to offer my customers, however, my concerns expressed above leave me with serious trepidation regarding dealing with your company.

Their Response:

Which watch company are you talking about, we only deal with EVS lights?
My company has been in business for years and we are a reputable and trust worthy company. We have a warranty on all our products and we offer great products at great prices

My Response:

I understand the pictures are just for show, but why aren’t you “showing” your product?
As for the Watch Company, the following info is from a whois search on your domain:


Pasted whois search info here


You’ll notice the registrant is BH Watches, and the administrative contact is care of a BH Watches company. You can see my confusion.

Their Response:

No I’m sure why that is there I don’t even know what that is.
Secondly my pictures don’t come out well since my customers are not professional photographers.


However I assure my product is great,


If you would like you can call to discuss

My final response: (My responses are the ones in red)

No I’m sure why that is there I don’t even know what that is.
It’s there because that’s the information you provided when you registered the site.


Secondly my pictures don’t come out well since my customers are not professional photographers.


So instead you steal images from other sites and use images of another company’s product to advertise yours?


However I assure my product is great,


If you would like you can call to discuss


No thank you, your emails have done nothing to relieve my concerns about you and your company, in fact, your blatant denial of the issues has solidified my decision to not get involved in a business relationship with you or your company. Thank you for your time.

 

[Jamey@NNE]

I asked how much do you keep in stock?

Hi Jamey

I hope you are doing great,


We don’t really keep too much in stock since our customers like to customize their orders. I do you have a stock list of about 15 styles they we have in stock which I can send you. But for normal orders you should compile a po and would produce it for you.

 

[EMT-BLS]

-snip-

I don't think you need to compile a poo...He's doing that right now, all by himself...

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

We should all reply to the email with a linky to this thread, maybe he will get a hint that we are professionals and not some fly by night operations... like himself.

This is the single greatest post in this thread.


Remind him that despite our community here, there ARE other persons out there who are not completely retarded in the interwebz world!!

 

[MEVS06]

This is what I sent him in reply to his spam email.

Hello and thank you for contacting us. We are not interested in purchasing sub par equipment from you, for we are members of elightbars.org/forums and the members have been discussing your sub par company and product you sell. You can see this post at http://elightbars.org/forums/f13/light-emitting-diode-equipped-50743/. So as you can see we don't like sub-standard products that you sell. Thank you and please do not contact us any further.

HI I really dont understand what people have against my products! Did any of you try them! did any of you get screwed by me! why dont you first act and then speak!

 

[MEVS06]

HI I really dont understand what people have against my products! Did any of you try them! did any of you get screwed by me! why dont you first act and then speak!

Simple answer, we have seen many of you come and go and still try to sell us cheap imitation sub-standard products. The person/company might be different but the product still sucks.

 

[Carlos SpicyWeiner]

Rules out LEDOUTFITERS... none of us got cussed out in the reply.


LEDEQUIPPED... IF you want to be taken seriously.. pick a few members on the board and send them an item to review. You can also contact the eLightbars staff as they have a formal review process.


The stolen images are misleading... that seems to be the #1 flag about your website.

 

[Jman423]

I don't see this going well... but lets "try" to be understanding and see where this goes :twocents:


-Just a suggestion

 

[Ledequipped]

HI I really dont understand what people have against my products! Did any of you try them! did any of you get screwed by me! why dont you first act and then speak!

My company was at first sponsored by a good friend of mine, Mr effy Hematian, then we had decided to separate, i am not here to steal your money or sell you trash. I believe in my products and i can prove it. You know my name you know where i work, you know my number and you can reach me at anytime, why would i sell trash if you know my personal info. I sell with confidence and a 2 year warranty.


I have not started my business, i started my web catalog in May not my business. My products have been selling for years.


the first thing i get asked is if i am related to STL or Led outfitters, that shows a lot of people got screwed from people who don't understand it doesn't pay to screw over a few customers for a few $s because it will harm your total business. I am not them, i am a trusted seller and i always will be.


I always treat my customers with the highest respect, my products sells on its own and at great prices. and yes they are low, not because they are trash but becase i care more about volume than $ so there. I dont let anyone order a large qty without first trying samples that is because i am trust worthy. i am not going to take your money and give you trash. i first let you feel and use the merchandise then you decide what the next step is. there are no MOQ's.


There are no catches. I am business man just like you all and i hope you can understand that.
