More New Cree Goodness coming....

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.

Dont see any plans on 3V beyond 6-7k

Well, Simon started selling his 6v 50.2 driver recently as a separate option, and he has quite a few lights that it will work in. i'm thinking L21a or L21b specifically! this is VERY Exciting, even in 6volt/12volt. i think a group buy among friend would be nice :))

Mark, for the XHP50.3 HI, you have this part # listed: XHP50D-H0-0000-0D0BJ450E, where the "B" before the J4 designates it as 70 CRI min, but you have it listed at 80 CRI. Is that correct?

But still, a J4 binned HI version at 5000K? Wow! Do you think the HD's will be higher binned at K2 or K4, still 5000K?

I see you only have 8 bare pieces left, so not sure I'm interested in an order that small. Do you expect more to come in soon? Guess I could order them mounted, you got more available that way.

Hhmm, for qty 18 (16 + 2 spare) that's $133 plus shipping... Hhhmmm.... Any qty discount on 18?

Hi Tom
Yes we had hoped to get a 80CRI shipped, but the part is 70 CRI and I have adjusted the web site. K2 in HD will be standard at 70CRI, possible we will see K4 bins ship once Cree are fully rolling. I have around 25 emitters available right now, if you enter that qty into cart you will get a discount

I just went to cutter's page to try and buy some xhp50.3 HI, 5000k. BUt they all say (on mcpcb's) configured to either 6v or 12v.. can they be used on a 3volt mcpcb? My guy says no, but i saw the post and data sheet info that says can be configured to either 3/6/12volt.

I'd appreciate any help, I don't want to buy a 6/12v only unless I know it's that while I'm buying it. I'm so confused.. . I prefer 3v regardless of tint and cri, I just want to try the HI XHP.3 emitter out.

I spent some time searching. It looks like the 3v isn’t out or just not for sale yet.

What I understand the hi version does not come in 3V configuration, just the hd version in cool white comes in 3V. 6V/12V is the same led with a diffferent PCB, but 3V requires a different led build.

Thank you both! Looks like it's either waiting time or maybe not at all.. I will have to do some Convoy builds to try out those xhp50 HI's..
