Samsung has been raising prices with its new chips, and holding steady on its older chips, so I wouldn’t expect to see any price drops on the LM561 or 301b chips soon. And, while “cheap” by the piece, LED diodes make up about 2/3 of the cost of a typical LED strip or board, so diode costs are critical, a few cents per diode can make a big difference in the final production cost.

I’m not disputing that the best and best cost effective method for a small grower to make a light with lm561c diodes is via yourself. I was literally talking the cost of a diode if they appear cheap on Samsung’s website. Don’t expect ready made units to look comparable in price.
