I skimmed all 13 pages looking for links, but my apologies if I missed it - Is there a source for buying the XHP70 that actually has it in stock available to order?
When I was on the Mouser site this morning it said they was a 600 unit back order, but it seemed that they had 82 on hand. I guess that means that any order over 82 they couldn’t fill anyway so why tie them up. That’s good for us that only need a few to fulfill our needs.
Mouser got those in the other day, Thursday or Friday. They had 100 coming in, two more backorders in the wings. So my 3 were part of the 18 that have been shipped out to make that 82 show up from the 100 that just came in. That means I should see em Tuesday, no mail tomorrow for MLK day.
Edit: Forgot to mention they’ve got XHP50’s coming around Feb 15th. All warm tint though as far as I could get from talking to em, like 3000K with 80+ CRI or something like that. I’ll be trying those as well, just because.
I have one of those warm white XHP50's, I ordered it before I got Hanks sample to test. I don't know yet what to use it for, for an output test the results are too predictable AFAIC (similar voltage performance as the cooler ones, and less output).
You’re misinterpreting a little bit. Unlike other vendors, Mouser shows what they’ve got on order. What Mouser has ordered from their suppliers! If you click next to the 600 on “View Delivery Dates” it will show you when they expect to get that stock: one batch of 400 in a month followed by a batch of 200 in another month after that.
