I prefer to get the better LEDs. They're only a dollar more expensive, and they're much higher quality.

I have to correct myself: if you have a switched mode power supply then dimming your LED circuit won't eat up extra electricity.

I personally wouldn't like the color that would put off. Unsure of what driver exactly your using there would like more details.

With Chinese stuff you just plain don't know what you're getting; you could get a really awesome LED fixture that will last for years to come and be just as good as the expensive setup your neighbor put in there.
It also could be a cheap piece of crap and if you want to get some answers, good luck talking to the people who sold it to you.
I am glad I went the direction I did, even if it's not the cheapest. It was a good solution, considering cost as well as all my other needs. If you find a different outfit that helps you get what you want, then by all means, do it. :)
