Re: How To Question: Illuminate LED on passover?

Cheaply made as in low cost, something doesn't need to be expensive to be reliable, and something cheap isn't automatically unreliable. There's nothing wrong with trying to get more bang for the buck. I'm working with the poster on this project privately and I can assure you we've already made concessions for price versus performance, but still made sure the bottom line wasn't a ludicrous cost.

There's no reason to assume cheap = unreliable though, I've seen some ingeniously simply and low cost things do a much better job than some ridiculously expensive thing meant to do the same thing.
