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
Yeah, so things didn’t go as planned and now i have a royal blue XHP50.2… :person_facepalming:
Did order a 3A from FT though, and now i’m totally broke…
Ain’t life sweet? :weary:
So I ordered one XHP50.2 from LCK-LED already soldered to a 200mm SinkPad. It is cool white although not too ugly I think. It arrived very fast btw., ordered on 3rd and arrived today.
I tested it with three reflectors so far, on SMO and two OP and there was no cross, donut hole or tint shift. I am really looking forward to seeing the high cri versions of this emitter, could be a winner over the Nichia 144A…
Back in the day cutter used to have a free shipping level that low and occasionally with no minimum at all. I don’t do any $100 orders, trying to keep the hobby affordable to have it at all. I don’t buy LEDs with only a group designation, there’s too much variation between B/C and A/D and I prefer knowing which side of the BBL they’re on.
Yea, saw this last night - . Think someone bought out the min 1's, but last I saw was only 45 in stock. What's interesting is they got a listing for the K2 bin in 5700K tint, but again min 500 and no stock. That K2 specific part # is the only K2 in the latest XHP50.2 CREE spec.
No, not officially. I did a direct drive mod with one in a 2x18650 host. On high drain cells it draws 10+ amps without spring bypass. See here: What did you mod today? - #2489 by djozz
