I don’t have any de-domed to give you, or I’d be on it! If you’re serious, I’m sure someone here would be happy to take you up on that deal. 
Now, if you want to send me the twenty domed and give me a couple days to de-dome and send ten back to you, I’d be happy to do that for you! 
I feel the same way. Now I just need to order a Meteor 43 and 12 of these new domeless XP-L!
And hopefully all with way better tint than our manually dedomed XP-Ls!!!
RMM… please say you’ll have these in stock next week :heart_eyes:
It looks like the widened optics would still be needed for the XP-L high intensity ones. The highest bin listed is a V2 - a straight droppage of 3 bins which could match the results we've seen de-doming.
Well, I'll get 'em as fast as I can, but there's no ETA at the moment. I was the first to get the U4s, but I doubt that I will be the first here as well.
I came across mention that LED color changes are known over time from operating where there are volatile chemicals (including from plastics or thermal compounds) that can get into the phosphors.
I’d guess the flat clear layer is to seal the phosphor (and perhaps that’s one reason people see color change after dedoming, though I’d be guessing on that).

That would be a good question to pose to RMM as I’ve read where he mentions using LED seal when he dedomes leds. RMM, can you tell a difference in the tint of leds that you dedome after using led seal?
Read the references — there are observations of tint change due to volatile chemicals that can get into phosphors — but the devil is in the details:
how much time does it take (and is that operating time while heated, or exposure time after some amount of heating starts something gassing out? which chemical, and which phosphor (many emitters use more than one phosphor). Oh, and what solder was used? what flux? what else is inside the container (flashlight head, for us)?
It doesn’t seen to be a simple easy issue.
I’d buy That for dollar! Heck, I’d buy a double handful of em at a dollar apiece! 
Seriously though, I’m in the line to get some as soon as they become available Richard, count on it.
:bigsmile:
Agree! Damn…
+1000!
But where’s fun in that
Just to clarify, shrick wants 2 full reels :bigsmile: (1 reel is 500 pcs)
Double Handful x (+1000) = 10 x 1000 = 10 000!! I’ll take 20 reels then!! Yikes, I’m clearly having a hard time with Lumen-Sickness
If these can go under unmodified triple optics, and if they come in a 3D tint, I’ll be wanting a bunch of them.
Sort of like SBT-70 with lots of bond wires, something tells me that such emitter would be more expensive due to being able to take more current.
Yes, but maybe this flat dome XPL is a good choice for a Uniquefire shorty Aespheric? :bigsmile:
Cheers
Nico
yep, that is one them :-)
It will be the XB-H High Intensity. Forget the old generation. http://www.cree.com/led-components-and-modules/products/xlamp/discrete-directional/xlamp-xbh
