Which of those is 2200k+/-?
Hey @RMM will you be the first to supply these new XPLs?
Does Cree even have a tint bin for that? Tints starting with ‘9’ or ‘10’, perhaps?
/me looks at the data sheets…
Okay, they have a special group of extra-yellow tint bins… so you want an AA3 bin? That sounds painful to look at. Anything warmer than ~3500K makes my eyes bug out.
Anything warmer than 4000k makes me order replacement emitters like there’s no tomorrow…
Lol 2200k was way off. Was meaning something Warm. 3000k-3200k
I’ll take your warm emitters if you ain’t want’n them 
(Seriously)
Yeah? I’ll start shipping you all my 2700k incan light bulbs.
I’ll take em!!!
I have some on order. They should be here in the next couple of weeks.
These new ones without the dome? Where did you order them from?
+1
maybe he got these

” XPL Hi Intensity, V2 Flux, 6200K Bin, TAKING PREORDERS DELIVERY MID MAY”
Its mid May now! Gimme.
They aren’t in yet. Expected hopefully next week.
Nice can’t wait to hear how they perform.
I just noticed that the bond wires look different somehow……fatter maybe, fingers crossed they are because we are totally bondwire limited when we overdrive the XM-L2/XP-L class Cree emitters.
But it could just be a really crappy picture 
I would bet they will have lower lux performance than their de domed brothers but with nicer tint of course. This silicone looks about 0,6mm thick so it could have slightly bigger dome projection(but not much).
Has anyone found a source for these besides Cutter? (Stateside.)
… and preferably in a neutral tint.
Those bond wires look pretty beefy...I have a sneaking suspicion that these are going to be incredible but only available for a short run. Better buy all that you can now once their available.. I'm thinking of ways to keep those bond wires cool so they can handle additional current...
From the datasheet measurements it should be ~0.35mm. See my post #43.
And it may actually be less than 0.35mm. From looking at other datasheets (like XP-G2) 0.65mm appears to only be for the substrate (not including the die + phosphor thickness).
This will be interesting. We were talking about such a setup here before it released—that is, leaving a thin layer of gel material to maintain a higher-K while still getting apparent die image of similar size. It could possibly help rid the double-tint drop from a reflective aperture on top of a de-dome. You would have a single tint drop from the RA reflection into the phosphor only.
The die window should have a consistent surface finish and thickness I would expect vs a liquid sealer, so it will be a good LED to test against a sealed one.
The bond wires could be thicker, but they also could be raised material in a “bump” shape giving an illusion from an angle.
I can see it now; the first CREE LED I’ll want an AR-coating applied to directly. :bigsmile:
