Zepto Lights Group Buy Interest

[Sirius815]

Good evening fellow Buellers!

I know many of us are always looking for new cool modifications and often LED turn signals are on the top of the list.

I have recently found a company that has a cool product with promising output - Zepto Lights

I contacted the company about better pricing by possibly removing the fancy programmable module, but no luck. So instead, I inquired about the company offering a group buy for us Buellers. Not five minutes after the request, I received an email back from Mike Brunton (Sales Rep at HighTechSpeed.com - manufacturer of the Zepto Lights).

They are more than willing to do a group buy with "aggressive" pricing pending the number of people interested. Before I email him back with some semi-concrete numbers, I would like to get a count of how many people are genuinely interested. From there they can figure out exactly what the pricing would be and we'd go from there.

So I'll get it started and keep the list running! (Btw - these lights are sold in pairs so when you reply, please state how many full pairs you would like!)

I like those!

I've been eye balling the Oberon signals for years ( they shine to the front and back )

But I like the idea of a running light and signal in a nice looking metal housing.

Hmm... Very tempting.. And made in the USA!! I love that!

I need a good set of signals I can recommend when I have a customer buy a tail light. These might be the ticket!

Thanks for posting them!

How much ooff are we talking...I like the options it has but 100 for a set of tampons with lights in them is a little steep

 

[Shawns]

I like them as well. But not for $100

 

[Sirius815]

Nothing here is locking you guys in to actually buy them.

I told Mike I'd get at least some kind of a count. If there isn't any interest then I won't bother him about deciding on numbers and price cut-offs. As it stands, you can use a coupon code for $10 per set - so I'm thinking $20-30 off is likely. Post up some price suggestions and I'll forward them to Mike and we'll see what they say.

I may bite the bullet and buy the first set so that you guys can get a review from a fellow Bueller.

I just bought some pen head turn signals, but then I saw these recently.

2 sets.

2 sets of amber lights in black housings

 

[tyryannosaurusrex]

Those are pretty sweet! I would be interested in 2 pairs - amber and black - and an LED modulator.

 

[08herobolt]

2 pair amber and black also.

Descent response!

Hopefully you can get a good amount of folks lined up and a nice discount

A response from Mike about cost:
"
I agree, they are not cheap! Most motorcycle parts are sold by the
manufacturer for about 65% off the retail price to distributors who then
sell to dealers, etc. The manufacturer has to make a profit, so the rule of
thumb is that your parts cost should be about 10% of the final retail price.
So most $100 signals would have maybe $10 worth of parts.



In the case of the Zepto lights, we use the absolute brightest LED’s
available. The LED’s alone for the Zepto lights cost $12. They also
require precise current control so we add a microcontroller. And we CNC
machine the housing from 6061 aluminum (which has good heat transfer
properties) and use a metal circuit board that is very thermally efficient
and transfers the heat to the housing to be dissipated. That’s how we are
able to three high-wattage LED’s into each signal. And the result is that
these signals are far brighter than anything else out there.

In addition, Mike has stated that if the amount of people interested and willing is "sizable" (not defined) he can work at 25% off PLUS free shipping (easily 8-15 bucks).

ALSO!!! Mike will be at the AIM Expo in Orlando with a stand setup and welcomes any and all Buellers to come by. The lights WILL be on display!

I am hoping we'll have a good sized order (I'm hoping around 20-30 sets) after the AIM Expo and hopefully one of you guys/gals going (I can't take off of work for this) cam get a good look at them while you are there and report back.

Bump!

 

[rah7777777]

You can get them on eBay for 84 a set with free shipping.

So hopefully he can beat that.

When's the expo? I'm ready to order haha

 

[Sirius815]

^^ Huh...interesting. Nice find. 16-20 October.

 

[jstav]

I'd like at least a 2 pairs of black.

 

[Sirius815]

Bump.

 

[Sirius815]

Another bump!

 

[Sirius815]

Another bump for some sweet lights!
