They could have been real Osram preproduction versions or rejects that got leaked into the market, but who knows.
Simon is the only source that I personally know of that has trustworthy HX available that’s on the warmest end of the CCT binning available. Maybe Led4Power when he reopens in a few days.
Found them at Mouser.
The mouser batch is a much lower flux bin than Convoys
I think it depends heavily on how hard they are driven. I can say my personal experience is that the 4040 pad versions are warmer (looks like ~5500K) and have a higher duv/more green tint than the 3030 versions, of which all of mine have been 6000K+ and very rosy.
You can put the 3030 CSLNM1 on a 3535 pad but it’s a tight enough fit that tolerances means it may not work on some 3535 pads. I would assume though it would either fit all pads on the same board or none at all, i don’t think it would be a case of it fitting only some.
It’s also a bit fiddly to align them to the pad which will slow you down when doing multiple reflows at the same time so i consider anyone who can do many at a time to be a superstar
This HHL532.TG has nearly the same Vf as XP-l hi until 3 amp. So it could be able to simply swap with XP-l hi in some light with buck driver for XP-l, like in Convoy L2, L4 for those who prefer constant output like me. Getting around 800 lumen at 2.8-3amp is nice. Interesting!
Yea, I'm certain the 2nd one is an SFT-40 -- just put one in a BLF GT.
What kind of light is that? Interesting how they got bare wires there, but ok because the holes seem to be connected direct to LED+ and LED-. Plus it's really small with two nice size screws.. Hhmm.
