I put one of the U2 XM-Ls into my Crelant 7G5 and it measures exactly as the original U2 (which i blew). I had temporarily one of those budgetlight T6s which i scavenged from one of the lights and it gave 68 lux. This one is 78 lux (same as original). So i have every reason to believe that these are 100% authentic U2.
I purchased 4 of these U2s from LED DNA at 8.70ea shipped.
It's not the bluish type of 1A look....perhaps it's 1C or 1D. There is no green tint in low mode, but then the Crelant 7G5 does not have a very low mode. I'm very satisified.
I was waiting for their store to come back online, waited too long no they don't have discount on eBay anymore, will have to wait until it's on discount again :-(
Considering the purchase history & dates and prices, and how many they sell when it's $6.30 and how few they sell when it's not, hopefully it won't be long ;-)
After bugging LEDDNA for the past few weeks they finally told me today their website is back. However the T6s are actually 6.40 so more expensive then the 6.30 special on eBay. But U2s are 8.00 so cheaper then the 8.75 it was on eBay. (Seems to be free shipping.)
that's what I thought of the U2. I have only used one of them so far. The trace for the pos. wire pulled up really easy when I gave it a small tug to check the joint. Probably just a one off problem.
I'm gonna order a few emitters and wondering if I should order from their website or from their ebay store. I know they have more incentive to ship faster through ebay so it got me wondering. I'm ready to get going on this project so each day matters. Any feedback about delivery times?
