Can you post a few macro photos of them?
For some reason, that looks… delicious.
I’m thinking if that thing is even dedomable? is the dome silicon or plastic? are the wires thicker than a regular xml?
Like sponge cake? 
it does look kinda tasty
i can’t wait to see what it looks like w/ an aspheric - seems to be more uniform…but maybe that’s just the pic
i just want to bite it too* :D
*or install it in small sun zy-t08 which is on the way here
I dont know if its me but I seem to have problems driving it at higher currents
Yikes - it's not achieving the higher current levels?
not sure but i think I need to relax for a bit before I try again
Thanks for the macro pictures, I'm guessing it will be harder to dedome. Sadly the days of direct mounting to copper are over, I guess it is time to stock up on some U3s.
please explain, i am confused
If you look at the top of it there aren't any solder pads. This means there is no way to solder it directly to copper (without getting complicated) and still have access to power it up.
I haven’t had time to play with the XML2 yet, but I have a few dozen of them that showed up Friday from mouser… That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could solder to the metal under the silicone at the corners/edges…
Has high cri also at the lower colors.
Interesting, it seems like the area to solder wires to may even be bigger!
It does look like that may be the case… It will just depend what material that ‘metal’ is… If, for example, it is aluminum then it will not be possible to solder to it… If it’s plated copper, that would be perfect.
man. it may be time to start practicing my soldering skills. :

Great, I’ll save a little money now, waiting for only lights with an upgraded emitter to come out.
want to see detail
