My experience with Lights of America is that they are, how do I put this lightly... Ummm... they are crap. More than likely chinese made.

And with LED's you typically get what you pay for. Nicer stuff typically has waaay fewer (but much higher quality) LED's with better optics. I noticed for some bike headlights, that some use only 1 LED!

I compared a 1 LED medium quality bike light with the $5 Autozone mini LED flashlight with like 10 LED's. The 1 LED massively outshone the 10 very crappy LED's. Definitely pay more if you actually want quality and longevity out of your LED light source.
