I just ordered a few from Mouser …hopefully the tint isn’t crappy.
Mouser tint cant be trusted, i mailed them so many times about that issue i lost the count already
Those should be E3 area, 5k or something
Yet, 51 claimed kit - arriving 4500k or something, okay…
Then again E1 claimed- arriving 5000k prolly 3c ( measured)
Anyway, it should be v5, the price is good,
Dedoming those is a PAIN, i still havent got any good ones after
I’ve never been able to dedome a XP-L. I’ve only been successful with XM-L2s, XP-G2s, and XP-E2s.

Me too…
But all xp-l’s i tried are from the “new” xp-ls , with smaller dome .

Have you tried the XPL2? Any preliminary results?
The thing that bugs me about that dome the most is the poor quality color blending. Every Cree LED made in the past 8 years has had better color blending around the edges than what XPG3 has. Lower VF will be nice though I suppose.
EDIT: In fact the color rendering period with XPG3 has been poor in my opinion. Even the high CRI neutrals to me don’t look nearly as good as equivalent emitters from another series.
XT-E had the same issues as XP-G3. Ugly blue/purple tint.
XP-L2 HI plz
XP-L2 HI plz
XP-L2 HI 4500K 90 CRI plz
Enderman:XP-L2 HI plz
XP-L2 HI 4500K 90 CRI plz
LOL + 1
Just wondering but in cree datasheet for XPL HI there are CRI90 ones listed
But hey are 2850 or 3000K T6
But you have to order 1000
http://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/Cree-Inc/XPLAWT-H0-0000-000UT60E7/?qs=x28CZqCRqymyU7rA2ltszw%3D%3D
XPL2 there are CRI90 from CW to WW in Datasheet
But noone has em yet
Enderman:XP-L2 HI plz
XP-L2 HI 4500K 90 CRI plz
120 CRI plz
Firelight2: Enderman:XP-L2 HI plz
XP-L2 HI 4500K 90 CRI plz
120 CRI plz
you want to expose to UV light?

And infrared, and some microwaves too. Just everything. EVERYTHING.
Well…I wouldn’t go buying any XP-L2s anytime soon. I got 4 in today, planned on using one of them in a S2+ host and the other three in a X6 triple. They may be fine in a triple but they aren’t worth a crap when used as a single led on 16mm noctigon in combination with a fet and a 30Q or VTC6. They just turn blue and die in turbo mode. I’ve got two left, I don’t know how much it costs to ship to Amsterdam (I have djozz in mind) but I would like to send these to someone that has the equipment to test them so no one wastes their money on something that’s not going to work for them.
I can test those on a regulated powersupply and CPU heatsink to the kill current
What would be interesting is how their tint is in the spill
Shipping in an envelope to Germany shouldnt be too expensive
I can also test one. I can do the same measurements on it that I did on the XHP35 HI I tested.
Huh, so as expected they have a super low vF like the XP-G3s to to point where they are at the limit or over in direct drive. I only see potential there, means a number of them together will still run hard when the battery is sagging running at it’s very limits. :smiling_imp: Or maybe that’s just me.
You can still DD them just need to add a proper sized resistor to get those 0.4V voltage drop
If you have spring bypass you may look at 8-10A DD because of the lower forward voltage
The lower Vf isnt the problem, we can always manage it, the problem is that its core is bigger, cant be dedomed properly ( still trying though, already ruined 5) and still we have only lower bins, we dont even have V6
Could you post photos of the dedomed ones even if you failed, mayslice the dome works?
