I’d just rather stick with the XP-G3. Id really only option for the Nichia 5000k 90cri. Not a fan of 4000k tint.
If neither the XP-G3 or 5000k Nichia 90cri is available I’d like to withdraw / refund on the order.

I’m afraid that won’t be possible.
There seems to be a sudden, woldwide shortage of 5000K 90CRI XPG3s. Wuben’s supplier said they can’t deliver. Five other suppliers said the same. Lead time “many weeks”.
I checked also Mouser, as they had plenty of these in stock just a short while ago. Now they show 0pcs, 9 weeks lead time.
I wonder what happened?
Damn. Ok I need to get my order refunded. How to we get this started?
Please wait a moment. We are still checking some possibilities.
I guess I can wait a week and see what happens.
Why didn’t Wuben warn us that they had difficulty acquiring stocks of the xp-g3 before taking our payments?
I find it hard to believe that thousands of stocks would disappear overnight. I’m not blaming anyone and =the= has been very transparent about everything, I am just wondering why Wuben hadn’t thought things through.
I do hope that everything’s going to work out just fine. I hate to have to ask for a refund.
I like nichia, so i agree with this change
I’m ok with the change as long as the CRI truly is minimum of 90 and tint is not green
I believe it’s highly unlikely to get the 219C appear much greener than the XP-G3
Sounds good to me, I’ve never owned any lights with the XP-G3. Thank you for letting me know
4000k looks great! The spot changes noticeable with nichia?
The suggested Nichia as evidenced in _the_'s example pic above is fine with me.

Here’s what happened so far:
I don’t have any idea why the supplier wasn’t able to deliver or why those emitters were suddenly out of stock everywhere.
Anyways, I can’t really blame Wuben on this and hope you don’t do that either.
Both me and Wuben are very sorry about the hassle. Please accept our sincere apologies!
We are now working hard to find an acceptable solution. At the moment Nichia 4000K looks like the best option, but we have not decided on that yet. Please stay tuned!

I too would like to stick with XP-G3 as I prefer the 5000k color temp. I will wait for additional updates. If those who prefer the XP-G3 are in the extreme extreme minority than maybe there’s enough XP-G3s for those who want them ? Obviously, this would create an additional burden for you tracking wise as everybody’s preference would need to be recorded. Just bouncing some ideas.
Recording the preference and trying to ship correct lights would probably end badly.
Seems that we can’t please everyone… BUT we can at least try to please most of you!
Would everyone on the lists please reply during the next 12h so that we can see which options are the most popular?
Current options (with my evaluations) are:
1 CREE 5000K
- slightly greenish tint
2 Nichia 4000K
- slightly less output than with CREE
3 CREE 4500K
- might be greenish?
- tint shift as bad as in 5000K version?
4 Nichia 5000K
5 Nichia 4500K
- slightly less output than with CREE
So, please tell me which of the options you:
1 Nichia 4000K
2 Nichia 4500K
3 Nichia 5000K
4 CREE 5000K - not going to wait 10 weeks…
1 Nichia 5000K
4 Nichia 4000K
4 Nichia 4500K
4 CREE 5000K – not going to wait 10 weeks
How do we go about refunds if we do decide to pull out?
1. Nichia 4500K (It seems to me that this is the best solution. Not too warm, not too cold.)
2. Nichia 5000K
2. Nichia 4000K
3. CREE 4500K
3. CREE 5000K (but 10 weeks !?)
How do we go about refunds if we do decide to pull out?
You can either
