Was wondering if the LED light delay was still a thing. Aiming to place an order for a 2 dr rubi next month and was curious what, if any delays, my delivery time could be. Thanks all.

hard to know with 50k other people ordering as well, we can only hope the supply chain is catching up.

I wouldn't avoid ordering an option because it "might" cause the order a couple more weeks to get fulfilled. The good news is manufacturers should be catching up with demand. The bad news is something else "might" delay the order also.

Order what you want, not what you think will come quickest.

Sound words and advice, thanks. I just didn't want to put an order in and have to be (im)patiently waiting lol

With the current Tariffs and 90% of all LED chips and modules manufactured in China, these components are being bought up at record pace before the next wave of tariffs (25%) kick in in Jan. Expect delays to continue for that reason alone. Additionally LED fixture manufactures are having to plan way ahead due the the shortages. This is not affecting just the chips but many of the electronic internal components. LED Chip and module manufacturing is very toxic so most of it will remain in China. Additionally some LED manufactures are pulling out of China like Samsung so transition will also imply supply. However with the tariffs causing companies like Samsung to pull out, China is going to have to give in at some point.
