I received a response from Digikey’s quote department, and a special one at that
Guess this is why it took about 1 week for a responses.
We have gotten quite lucky. They were able to confirm the availability for the T2/T4/T5 chromacity bin with a custom bulk order, although with only a reference bin for the brightness bin(Q6), which is probably going to be lower than what we have now.

Good morning OCF&BD,
I’ve created a new disorder for you. OCF&BD
Obsessive Compulsive Flashlight & Battery Disorder – and of course, there is no known cure, because you keep recharging yourself.
i’m in for 1 light
btw, i’ve heard that you can customize the driver, with your phone, is it true?
Well, in theory, after making firmware with that feature, yes. The driver has an “optic nerve” to allow it to sense light. But it’s not actually used in the stock firmware.
In TLF I have registered one FW3A (219.Meyer on the TLF-list) and opted for a second one. To be on the safe side please put me on the BLF-list with one XPL-HI 3D and one LH351D.
Thanks
Got a message back from Digikey again. And good news!
Great for the FW3A groupbuy, but not too great for smaller buyers.
For individual samples(less than a reel), the tint bins are randomly available from T6, TA, T7 and TB. No wonder the LH351D from Bob Mc Bob looked so green.
For a 1x reel LH351D (like our groupbuy), the only tint bin confirmed and available is T6, so way better than the 2nd and 3rd batch of LH351Ds, so about as good as the 1st batch from AEDe, but still not the godly T2/T4 bin.
HOWEVER, for 4x reels of LH351Ds, the tint bins are confirmed and available in the T4 and T6 bin, and the T4 bin is way below the BBL and closer to 3900-4000k rather than 4100k-4000k according to the Digi-Key rep. That is very good.
Well, this is nice…

Here’s an Excel document with more detail on the quote. Go on full right to see the confirmation of tint chromacity bin:

Thanks BlueSwordM, I’ll pass that along to Neal in case he hasn’t already made an order.
Are you planning to order any or is this just for reference? Are they able to guarantee a specific tint bin selection from the ones you asked about?
I am interested, count me in!
@BobmcBob, that’s the problem.
They were able to guarantee a specific chromacity bin range if we do a large custom order
That means we can get the T2/T4/T5 tint bin, but not a specific one if we order them individually.
That means only a company like Lumintop can get below BBL bins, not us little guys
Still, it would be awesome if I could get my hands on at least one of these.
I will send another email to Digi-Key if we can get a specific chromacity BIN ORDER CODE confirmed and order it, or at least a sample.

Good morning OCF&BD,
I’ve created a new disorder for you. OCF&BD
Obsessive Compulsive Flashlight & Battery Disorder – and of course, there is no known cure, because you keep recharging yourself.
Same for me I already mentioned in the German TLF to buy one (or two), if there will be two variants, than I want both otherwise one is enough for me.
Interested in one (LH351D)
Put me down for 2 please!
Interested in 1 please
i’m in for 1 light
btw, i’ve heard that you can customize the driver, with your phone, is it true?
Forgot my pen
Nope.
You can change menu settings using the rear button or reflash the driver by removing it and putting a reprogramming clip on it. Usual stuff.

Also on the TLF list but to be on the safe side please put me on the list with one XPL HI 3D and one LH351D.
Thanks!
interested in one LH351D
Put me down for one!
looks interesting, what about 21700 batteries, any idea to support those?

Well Put. I couldn’t come up with anything that kind.
Yeah no. The FW3A will be staying as an 18650 light. I want it to stay small

…well, you could take out the inner tube and replace it with a thin strip of Nickel or copper…??
I had to work at it to keep it “kind”.
