BLF LED Database - Collaboration Spreadsheet - Share latest news about where to buy LEDs

Ooopsie Smile - I stupidly missed all those earlier posts. Guess I'll find out if the FT S2's are real....

Please report back. Could be useful for some.

When that is said. For most modders (who like their amps high). 2,99 -3,99$ mounted on Noctigon from IOS. Then you could also be (more) certain that you get the correct bin and tint. Hard to beat that.

True - I got a bunch of spare bare copper boards to use up, so am always looking for bare emitters.

@RaceR86:
You started this great project, so I want to ask you about one thing:

Is it ok for you and most others, if we modified the list with a "available" column?

At the moment I need a XM-L2 U2 with an aluminum base (replacement for a SWM C10R - on high only 0,9-1A - copper base is not needed). INTL-outdoor has a XM-L2 U2 for under $5 nine months ago, but do not listed this at the moment. Maybe it will come back and deleting the line in the data sheet wouldn't be the best solution. A new column could help and if someone find a not available led, he could post a "not" with date and colored the field red for example. If it is avaialable later somone could delete the "not".
Maybe someone else have a better idea, how this could be marked.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think it would be a good Idea if the datasheets were frequently updated.

A possible issue with adding an "available column" is that it would easily become another thing that should have been updated, but wont be. There are not enough people updating. Me included. I try focus mainly on adding new emitters and fixing the sheet when it gets a bit messed up. If a link is dead, I suggest to delete the emitter/line. I always do that.

With an "available column" I think we can risk that an emitter is marked "not available", but then the emitters gets back in stock. No one updates it. And people wont bother clicking it because the datasheet says "not available", despite that it is.

I think its better that people sometimes click dead links or on products that are out of stock (and hopefully update them or delete them), then to avoid checking them out due to a column that may or may not be correct about their "in stock" info.

That is my thoughts.. Feel free to do a trial on one of the popular sheets, like XM-L2 or XP-G2 if you think its worth a shoot, and are able to help updating the datasheets. If it something that works, It could be adopted to all the other sheets.

All help with keeping the database updated is highly appreciated. :)

new emitters at intl-outdoor.com :

-Nichia 219B R85 D220 4100-4700K typ. 92CRI, bare, on 16mm Noctigon, 20mm Noctigon

-XP-E2 red P3 bin, on 16mm Noctigon, 20mm Noctigon

(wish they had this 2 months ago...)

I could use some help with google spreadsheets. I’m looking to add a note across multiple columns.

This can be found on the MCPCB page line 3 & 4 “XM boards are compatible with: XM-L, XM-L2”
I think a comment like that would be good on the nichia 219 page. Something like “Type: 219 A = NVSL 219AT-H1 , 219 B = NVSL 219B R85” The comment column could then be decluttered.

Thanks for info djozz. I ordered some various emitters again. Including red XP-E2. 2amp here I come.. Edit: Around 2,5amp here I come.

Thank Helis for adding emitters. I added a few too.

Helios-Evil-Twin. I divided the Nichia sheet into two sheets. One for 219A and one for 219B. I think that makes it easier. Good enough?

Thanks to Helios or whoever it was who made it easy to sort between the two.

I looked at the spreadsheet and was going to clean up some things to my own taste but reconsidered. I think you should start using abbreviations and symbols where necessary. EG
-Yes can be Y
-Free shipping = Y, Not free = N, Not free but cheap = N, $, Not free expensive = N, $$
-A lot of repetitive words are unnecessary. Sinkpad = SP, quantity discount = QD,
-Could move “edited by” to last column out of site, almost unnecessary but if you want to keep it then general users won’t need to see it. SAme goes with “updated”
-Should standardize number separators. The Europeans are using the comma and the Americans are using the decimal

And a few other things that would help it be cleaner. But thats up to you guys!

Finally a source for the 4000K MT-G2, new at intl-outdoor, bare and on 20mm Noctigon:

http://intl-outdoor.com/cree-mtg2-m0-4000k-2step-6v-bare-led-p-801.html

..and XP-L at IS, 2A, 2C, 2D tint

Added them (XP-L's from IS) to the spreadsheet. Got mine in like 2 days. They must have them in stock here in the USA.

found MT-G2 4000K at newestrend.com for 14 dollars. They claim the bin to be P0 (the highest MT-G2 bin), but according to the Cree datasheet the 4000K led does not come in P0. Would the 4000K be true?

http://www.newestrend.com/cree-mtg2-p0-2step-4000k-led-6v-1-piece-p-1122.html

Not sure if its worth the gamble on the one from newstrend. Barely cheaper than from IOS, and who knows what you will get.

Anyone asked IOS about CRI on their 4000K MT-G2?

Standard CRI, or 80 CRI??

Anyone besides me using either regular amber or PC amber?
If so I’ll add the sources I know, but I don’t know much.

It appears someone using the xml2 tab has turned off the filters and then sorted the header row into the data rows. If I get a chance, I will try to fix it but hopefully whoever did will because only they would know what else they may have changed.

any sources for xp-g2 s3 1a ?

Intl-outdoor has my all time favorite colour temp XM-L2 (~3700K) now in a even better tint : T4 6A2 80CRI.

I have 6A1 80CRI's in various lights, and they are great but just a bit too rosy, I kind of like that but I think that this 6A2 is just a bit more neutral tinted.

I really liked the 6A3 (T4 80+ CRI) that I picked up over a year ago. A very nice WW emitter. 6A2 should be really nice as well! :) 6A1 was too rosy for me, but I found it great for tint mixing when there was a need to boost pink/red.

I see IOS have gotten XM-L2 U2 3C in stock now. (And XP-L V6 3D, in case anyone missed it when Hank announced it).

The spreadsheet is and have been a mess most of this year. Too much work for me to keep up to date and fix. I still think its nice to have this thread for simple updates on where to buy certain emitters and such. :)

I added the XHP section awhile ago if you haven't seen it yet.
