Osram Oslon Boost HX

It is rectangular, yes, you can see on the datasheet.

TBH I don’t think it’s a viable source.
But it is a source which is a small step towards general availability.

Though now that I think about it - I remember when Hank managed to source a batch of old XP-G2 long after they were unavailable.
From memory - 1000 was sold very quickly with several members buying hundreds each.

Boost HX is likely to stay the throw king for a while so it makes sense to stash them if GB promises a lower price than a store would. Though better bins may appear.

So maybe 2000 is not out of BLF range?

Interesting, this means it should pop up on “normal” sites before long.

Agro, if the Boost HX turns out to be the next throw king, as the hype suggests it will, then 2000 pieces in a BLF group buy would be pretty easy to do for sure.

Assuming we have a suitable MCPCB for it.

If the DTP 4040 fits as well as LED4Power thinks his Q8 board + 4 of these will instantly go in my Q8

OOOHHH! Make one for me too! I’ll start saving up for it. :money_mouth_face:

Yes, DTP 4040 from L4P is probably a superb choice. :slight_smile:
Among the best MCPCBs (if not the best MCPCB) and already available.

Yeah I’m just waiting for led4power to get them in stock like he did with the first two white flats :slight_smile:

mouser listed them too

but i do not find the "good" BINs


(from this datasheet)

brightness: 5S
voltage group: G5

i assume the lower bins will die fast in a DD setup

I dont see the listing on mouser?

I did find arrow.com has the start of a page:

https://www.arrow.com/en/products/kw-culpm1.tg-z6rf6-ebvffcbb46-65g5/osram-opto-semiconductors

Looks to be lowest brightness bin and unknown voltage bin?

That’s the white flat

aah thx

google must have offered me a "similar result"

sorry

Got us all excited there for a moment…

The lowest brightness bin is unlikely to beat KW CSLPM1.TG available from L4P.

Any updates or tests here?

It's still vaporled

Is there an expected delivery date on these?

Fun fact:
Osram specs the height of White Flat (both 1 and 2 mm²) as 0.73+–0.07mm.
Boost HX is 0.732+–0.035mm. Halved tolerance?

It's been a year, Osram seems to be really taking its time with this LED.

No, a different trainee wrote the datasheet :)
