a) In any scenario, I will prefer High CRI over lower!
b) In any scenario, I will prefer more NW than WW tint! BUT, if Nichia 4000K is the final offer, I will gladly take it, for the flashlight and the emitters I ordered!
Thanks =the= for managing the situation and informing us :+1:
Hopefully not too confusing. Either of the first two Nichias would be fabulous. For the Nichia 4000K and the CREEs, I’d rather have the light than not, so really it comes down to whichever is likely to be a guaranteed delivery.
1 Nichia 4500K
2 Nichia 4000K
3 Nichia 5000K
4 CREE (don’t want any green tint)
Not sure if it will fit but the XPL2 4500k 80CRI doesn’t have the crazy green like the 90CRI version. I tried the tint on the Zebralight SC5W II and it’s pretty decent.
Well I was just going to place my order and saw this. I will go with what ever the group decides, hopefully they will extended the order deadline until after the decision is made.

Any CREE or Nichia 4500k or 5000k for me, preferably 5000k. I wouldn’t have signed up if I knew I was going to have to settle for 4000k. Don’t like the 4000k and didn’t necessarily pay for 4000k. I understand things happen but, earned money spent on a light I won’t use is a waste of earned money. This is the first group buy I have participated in. I have seen some group buys take a year or more to complete and get full of problems and hard feelings. I don’t want it to end up like that. Everyone bought the light at 5000k and 5000k it should stay. Ordering a few hundred lights with 4 different emitter options would be ridiculously time consuming and almost impossible. That’s just my two cents.
If it all goes to hell I have options to get my money back. Paypal and my credit card company has provisions for being charged for a particular product and then being told you can’t have it.
On a separate note, I never even received a confirmation of my payment by anyone. Don’t know if they were suppose to send anything or not.
Status update: Feels like Friday the 13th for sure.. There are still major problems sourcing the emitters. Both Wuben and me are working hard to find a good source for 5000K emitters (preferably Nichia), but so far without success. Because of these problems, the payment deadline is extended to "one week after" we have solved the problems.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the situation and try to wait patiently!
On the other hand, threatening me/Wuben with PayPal or Credit card company disputes makes me feel (even more) sad and is totally unnecessary. Just send me a PM if you want to bail out. A full refund will be issued in a short time. [In the absolutely worst case I may have to buy all unclaimed lights, but I think I can live with it]
