BLF LED Database - Collaboration Spreadsheet - Share latest news about where to buy LEDs

Nice… Short and simple description.
XP-Gs may be outdated… But they are really cheap @ fasttech…
As much as I dislike Cool white. 2,17$ for one emitter when buying 5 is crazy!
And a 5 pack of TIR optics for them for 1,81$.

Needless to say… I bought some a couple of days ago. All of them will go into one light.

Thanks for this. Wonderful resource for all of us.

Aslo: Great way to see your way to spending more $$$ on stuff you thought you might already have enough of… ! Hmn.

I was considering making a triple emitter light. I was just browsing some sites hoping to find some warmer XP-Gs at a decent price. Then I saw the price @ fasttech and though… F%¤ it… 5 emitter CW light it is! :smiley:

The nice thing with fasttech is that the discount for 3 or 5 emitters is quite nice.

Great work guys, thanks!

Do you think it’ll be a better idea to hyperlink the websites to the products’ actual page?

Hyperlink?
How to do it?
Could you do it with some of the links on the “XM-L” sheet?

Race, I'll go do a few now. :)

Added MK-R category and one source so far.

Edit:
*May I suggest we change the “Free Shipping” cell header to simply “Shipping?” It adds zero hierarchical complexity but allows for more accurate description (for example, “Free/No
/$/$$/$$$”*in place of “Yes/No”).-
Actually that doesn’t work due to different rates for international members. So scratch that idea!

Thanks for contributing… This document is getting more useful by the second!

Thanks for your efforts.

Should we add some less reputable vendors such as DX, DD, and KD?

Ok, they are all now hyperlinked. From now on if people could hyperlink them when inserting that would be appreciated. Here the format is.

=HYPERLINK("http://www.led-tech.de/","Led Tech")

It looks better now… I only got to take a few before before u were done scaru.
Funny though… If you watch the first picture (OP). I only wrote the name. Then you added links, so I though… yeah that is probably better even if it did not look as good in my eyes. So I changed mine into links too. :stuck_out_tongue:
But now its the best of both worlds… :slight_smile:

Great work so far guys!

My thoughts:
yes, but only if they have have something others does not have.
When I uploaded the sheet I had added 1x XM-L from DX. It was mounted on cooper star. So quite unique. I think this database should show people what is out there. They can check out other threads about the vendors if they want to choose one vendor over another based on how they are rated by customers. I believe someone have noticed the cooper XM-L I linked to because it it now out of stock! :stuck_out_tongue: (it was not when I added it. Might be a coincident though).

I added some XM-L2s from lightmalls/kaidomain. So far only source for XM-L2 U2 on stars with free shipping (lets hope the bin is U2). Do i personally recommend them over some others stores? Do I trust the bin/tint info as much as some other stores. No. But this thread is a database.
It is nice to have options if some place is out of stock. Up until now, every store that have gotten XM-L2s in stock have been sold out right away. Especially the more popular bins/tints.

Thanks Scaru and RaceR!

The spreadsheet is indeed very useful. :slight_smile:

You have good list here. :nerd_face: I see that you will put some more on this spreadsheet.

I see that Relic38 found a nice source for XP-G2 on 16mm star. (4$ with shipping)
I added NW white version too (5$).

Not sure about BIN. I see there is a part of picture that says R5. But they have used same background for both emitters.
Description does not specify BIN…

Another very useful source for lumen info. Thanks to all!

Added a few more sources along with some other random info. :)

Added the MC-E, mainly because of the RGB output.

Great work!
