More New Cree Goodness coming....

Yes I did. Regardless of impressions, I have JoshK Delete Green paint for glass lenses that greatly improves the beam.

But I'm sure it will be good

Can’t tell if the die is smaller or the package is bigger compared to Gen 2.

They finally have an ETA on the 5000K XP-P LEDs as well: 2021-09-24… two more months.

I had been fairly optimistic about this LED, having a < 6500K thrower LED finally (and a ubiquitous 3535 footprint to boot). But JaredM has shown some discouragingly high vF values compared to the Osrams.

JaredM's data is higher Vf that the CREE spec shows, but the spec is still fairly high. Basically this is a 4 amp max LED, maybe on an absolute fresh cell, or by boost. The throw #'s look decent though.

I can retest another sample of the XPP, but I have a fair level of confidence in my numbers as my methods have a bit of redundancy in them.

we have had the XPP in 5k in stock for a month now?

Hey Mark, that’s cool, I’m glad you’ve got some. Unfortunately I can’t justify the $20ish shipping fee for just a few LEDs to play with. I understand international shipping is costly, so I’m not complaining. I’ll just wait patiently for them to arrive stateside.

XHP50D, 5000k arrived looking nice



Cheers

Wonder how the intensity of the HI will compare to Gen 2. Not only is it domeless but the die seems smaller. Hope it’s not green at low levels like Luminus.

sits a little under the BBL, not green

I hope they make XHP70.2 HI, that will be a dream emitter!

Oooo the 50.3 HIs look promising. Thanks for the data and photos! Any word on 3v variants? How is the tint shift?

Oh man it’s real! Not dreaming anymore.

I think we need to set up some kind of group buy for these to split up the shipping cost because even for 1 or 2 of these the shipping to USA is ridiculous.

I think we should wait. How many 6/12v 5050 lights are out there? Almost none, or at least nothing interesting I know about. We need 3v variants!

there is no short term plan to release 3v at this time in flat top. but HD yes

I got a light overdue for a LED upgrade. It's already set up for 6V LED's with original XHP50's - the HI or HD? Good question...

Is the 50.3 HD going to come in only 6000k+ 3V variants or do you reckon we’ll see some ~5000k 3V variants at all?

Bummer :weary: . I don’t have any 6v 50.2 lights. Oh well, at least I’m good with a razor blade.

That looks like fun, wow 16 lightbulbas! Thermal regulation nightmare.

I myself do wonder if - or how much - we can expect tint variation.
