4000K,5000K,5700K,6500K is what datasheet says, I have 4000K and just recently got 5700K (it should be great combination for tint mixing to get 4800K and even more rosy tint):

Kaidomain has the 5000K and 6500K
L4P - looks like your V's are a higher flux bin as well? Are both the 4000K and 5700K both bin W?
Also, are you sure these new batches last longer, or can take the higher amps than earlier batches? If I knew they would last at high amps now, I'd buy a few from you.
I could throw one in a FET light to test, but it was purchased April 2018. My D4's quad board was purchased in August. Not sure when the bin transition took place.
...My Thorfire VG10S has a dead driver anyway, and a Luxeon V already under the reflector. Maybe I'll go do that soon, can't remember if I have any spare FET drivers in the right size though. Plenty of Blue springs for it though!
W flux bin is the most common one, actually I've never seen any flux bin other than W, KD are the same regardless the different CCT. Vf bin is also F on all recent reels.
Initial samples were G Vf bin, and reported "1/3" failures were only from that first batch, no one reported problems after that.
It might be worth mentioning that I've seen that exact failure on my own (on that batch), it was not max. current related, but it appeared immediately after reflow.
I realized that after one of the LEDs had that problem after soldering 4pcs on quad L1V1 board. I replaced that one, put new one, and after reflow the LED on the other position failed this time, so it was thermally related issue (my guess is problem with die glue - too little on one side of chip), not current related.
Again, I've never seen even a single failure (and no complaints from customers) after that 1st batch of 4000K LEDs.
Max. "usable" current form Luxeon V is about 9A, so it would be good to stay below that when DD drivers are used.
So it’s safe to say I can use it at 7A high mode om one of your LD-4 drivers?
Yes, it's similar to SST-40 when it comes to max. ratings.
So, has any one tried the newer batch on direct drive yet? If so, what current can be expected of good gold plated springs like the ones from led4power.com?
They are bone heads for naming the new led V !!!
No flashaholic would buy a new flashlight with an led from 2007. And, once educated on how stupid the naming department of luxeon is, it will be impossible to Google a V without being drown by outdated lights.
Flashalcohics are 0.001% of their business, they just like the V for Victory.
