Is Kaidomain generally regarded for selling real cree LEDs? I ask because I noticed that they were the first to have the 2nd gen XPL that I was aware of, and didn’t know if they have some special deal with Cree or could possibly be selling knock-off leds in some cases? Anyone have good/bad experiences ordering brand new to the market leds from Kaidomain?
The XP-L2 was available at digikey, mouser and others a bit earlier IIRC but KD is pretty good at getting the newest LED’s quickly and in good bins as well.
I want one of those XHP50.2’s bad, just waiting for some of my lights to sell. Anyone need an old school 5X SRK with XM-L2’s (one of which is dedomed) running FET+1 V2 drivers with thermal regulation and making over 4000 lumens each?
Talking about the SRK? I have basically given up trying to sell things on BLF, things just don’t sell for enough to make the work involved worth it. Generally sell them on craigslist.
The de-domed 5X sold already but I still have the domed version (which could be dedomed naturally).
lol, yeah that is the issue with selling flashlights that I found out real quick. You either have to lie or not sell something that appears worse then something they can get for $5 on ebay.
On craigslist you don’t get a lot of interest but when you do it is pretty simple to show why a light costs more, I keep a few stock ebay lights around for that reason.
So they didn’t cancel it…
I was reminding them of the refund by email and then the order arrived in the mail…
KD fail on this one… :person_facepalming:
So now i have a XHP50.2 5A tint i don’t want…
They haven’t replied to my last mail, so i guess i’ll have to bother BanL about this…
Meanwhile i will order a 3A from Fasttech a.s.a.p.
The prices are pretty extreme from china for some reason. They should be $5 or less as that is what they are showing up for at digikey and arrow although they only have the 5700k+ tints right now. Waiting for some better tints to get in stock myself.
Just ordered last night 8 XP-L HI V5 emitters, some 1206 R120 resistors from Digi, XHP50 and 17mm FET driver for my C8 duel 18650 from Mountain electronics and finally a couple S1/BLF A6 A17DD-L FET+1 2.8-4.35v 7/4 Modes drivers and a couple BLF 16mm Copper MCPCB XPL XPE XPG Direct Thermal Path Circuit Boards from Banggood. Its play time, well in a couple weeks
