Electronics, Lighting, & Gadgets - VibeLights...Are they still open for business? Or, just nonresponsive?

Hi
Have any of you done business with Vibelights? I have called their office twice asking for a return call, and e-mailed and no answer.
They have a good looking product but I am hesitant to give them a credit card, or pay pal if they are non responsive.

This is what I would like: http://www.vibelights.com/pococabili.html If you know of anything in the $20.00 price range, please let me know.

The Down Low Glow gets good reviews but is much more expensive.

TY - I ran across that site some time ago. The Vibelights are basically the same item but for less money. Of course, the real problem is Vibelights may be a dead site. I dunno.

I just recieved a couple of cold cathode lights from Vibelights. They are not just like Down Low Glow which I also have. The Down Low Glow come ready to use with batteries and charger and bike attachment. The battery system they use is crap because they weld the batteries into one and I only got a dozen uses out of it until one of the batteries went bad and the entire battery is now useless, stupid setup. The Vibelights don't have any casing and they say they run on 8 AA batteries which is so weak they don't light up enough for a bike. Down Low uses 10 AA batteries and has a great glow.
The emails I sent to Vibelights were never answered even though I wanted to buy something on their website but it didn't have a 'add to cart' button next to it so I couldn't order that. They didn't care whether I ordered or not but when I ordered something I could, it arrived promptly.

TY - I will look elsewhere for products. This is what I suspected.
I am still interested in this type of product. The Down Low Glow is a bit expensive though. Anybody know of an alternative?
Thanks
