-EXPIRED- XM-L2 U3-1A on non-DTP Copper @ LED-DNA for $3.85

It didn’t work for me while signed in either

weird, I used it last night. Sorry guys

Seems to not apply to the pre-order anymore but works fine for other LEDs.

Have you previously dedomed XP-L 1A’s? What approximate tint did you get after the dedome? I’m looking for something not warmer than a 2B or 2C after dedome and wonder if this might be obtainable with the XP-L

Thanks!

I have not dedomed a 1A yet. I have done a couple 2A’s, and they both ended up close to a domed 3C, (but less green, so maybe a 3D or 3A)

Thanks for the reply Pilotdog68 :slight_smile:

Did you dedome using gas method or heat and lift dome with scalpel method?

Gasoline. I hung the star upside down in it and waited for the dome to fall off. It took about 15 hours. I’m not sure why it took longer for me than other people, maybe too much ethanol in the gas?

Nice, just received a notice that my order has been shipped.

@pilotdog68,

This is interesting, so you say that the XP-L’s goes 2-3 steps to the right only? i was under the impression that the XM-L2 goes often 3-4 steps to the right + 1 up on the ansi white chart………hmm i may have to rethink my quad XP-L with tint mixing and dedoming build, i based that inadvertently on XM-L2 “rules”

And if the XP-L goes more just right and not so much up maybe a 3D will look nice dedomed? i kind of like warm tints but i had previously thought it would go to much yellow, but it may end up a 4S or 5A2………that sounds very very interesting :slight_smile:

I am glad i took notice on this before i placed the large (for me ;)) xp-l order i have been planning, thanks

Is this a legit V6 binned 1A tint XP-L. I didn’t think they even existed :expressionless:

another one of the CREE secret bins like the XM-L(2) U3 and the XP-G2 S3 :beer:

Not even specified in the datasheets!

Is it legit? I have no idea. Just reporting what the page said.

@cajampa
That’s my experience, and it’s similar to others on BLF

Has a dedomed XP-L a better throw as a dedomed XM-L2, because it has a smaller surface?

No, the actual light-emitting surface is the same size on the XML and XPL

Thank you for the information.

Got an update that my order shipped, with tracking (total was $15.40), so maybe orders above $15 get tracking. I had a $12.40 order and it never got tracking.

Edit: seems like Billy put the tracking number I had for another order on this one, oops!

thanks, the code BLF15 works for non preorder items

$4.85

Seems the deal has passed, maybe too much ordered :tongue:

I did get mine the other day however!

I did get my order today, fastest shipping I have every had!
