EccoLights Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Sadly I have looked into manufacturing them in the states here and there is no way in H#__ that we can compete with China on this one.... OBI sells the clear warmers (when bought by the case) for $3.50/each... Cost to get all the parts here is over $8+ then add in time to manufacture so your around $10-$12... The poly-resin ones are even worse! Good luck hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaubien81 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thanks for the information! Are OBI Made in the USA? I can't find the info on their website.I'm tossing around producing them myself... I'll let you guys know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccoLights Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) OBI are NOT Made in the USA... China baby... That's where all our stuff comes from anymore... :/ Double thinking here but OBI did run a "line" of warmers a while ago (the 2-1's) that were painted by an artist... now were they made or even painted in the USA... that's another question in it's own...Best bet is to find a local artist or ceramic person... glass blower, etc and approach them about making them for you, but then your dealing with wiring them for the bulb and I would think that is a risk all it's own too... Bottom line is, $3.50 from China... is sadly the best bet... Or heck, import them yourself from China and pay around $1 - $1.50 + customs, shipping, etc... Like OBI does.
