Yeah, it’s just stated differently. MtnE’s page says 704 lm at 1.5 amps. The Arrow page says 505 lm at 1050 mA (1.05 amps). They’re both bin V5… same thing, just different tints.
Also for anyone placing an Arrow order and also interested in the regular XP-L’s, you can get them for about $3 each as well. Here’s a listing for XP-L V6 5000K.
For anyone that prefers 4000K instead of 5000K, just swap the “e3” with “e5” for either of the XP-L or XP-L2 links.
I’ve been grabbing a few LEDs from Arrow lately. Some decent prices, stacked with this 10% off and free overnight shipping… ludicrous!
Thanks for the clarification and advise, I created an account to order but I’m going to await Richards reply on him getting some, looking at his reflow option on the boards it looks like he will remove LED’s from a different board too, and maybe he would let me send him my own LED’s to reflow if he’s not going to be stocking them. ?
I know, right gchart? I would have ordered a quantity if it weren’t for Christmas gobbling up all the extra green. (as if there’s such a thing, extra green, I crack me up sometimes!)
I just asked the 21700 tubes and single led C8F host to be make. Also asked switch tailcap to be sold separately or as a choosable option for side switch C8-s. I hope they will answer soon!
My C8F host arrived with a Sofirn SP32A but the host doesn’t contained MCPCB. I told sofirn and I hope the problem will be solved.
For now I’m playing with the SP32A and making the driver for the C8F host.
I will make tonight a TA OTSM driver for my heat treated L2 and make lighted tailcap for my new clear S2+. I want it to be very clear so I putted in stainless button and the screw type pocket clip and made it a shorty. The switch lighting also be white and I want to change the green O-ring at the lens to a clear one too.
