Why don’t you buy 12 XP-L V6 2A & dedome instead? Cutters have them soon available, if you need them without the dome, that is what I would have done(if cutters wouldn’t have such crazy expensive shipping that is ;)). They should end up close to 3D, and then you have lots of rare 3D’s to use in other builds 
To bad about the bondwire illusion, but at least we know now.
Looks like Cutter is going to be the first to get the V2 bin, nobody else even has it listed yet.
So now I have to decide between waiting, or just getting a slightly lower bin from mouser
Pilotdog, I’m placing an order if you want in to get cheaper shipping
From cutter? How much do you think it would work out to per emitter?

hi
great product if comes to market 
Cutter still don't have stock of this though they did have some in for testing.
beam rang 14 kilometer bright
is it hyperbole
i cant mind this
there is extra observe can you augment that?
Beam rang 14 kilometer bright mind not MRsDNF augment, only Cutter stock augment extra observe.
ok wow!
Again I'm lost with whats going on. 
The idiotic statement in my signature was copied from a flashlight spec sheet. The light itself would be lucky to light up 100 meters 14 kilometers. Who's trying to kid who. I thought it was humorous. 
yeah i understood that this is not your observe
the cutter stock say that because they try to show big view of their products for more sale
sometime they tell you lies
in my land this is usual whatever many peoples be gullible
just powerful lasers can be traverse more than one kilometer one time i see
the powerful laser in laboratory that it traverse 40 kilometer very dangerous
and sturdy that i brighten so far mountain via it but powerful flashlight just brighten 100 -500 meter
i hope not be upset from my opinion 
E-mail from Cutter said they hope to receive xp-l from Cree within two weeks……Oh I hate waiting 
No not upset at all. I love a good laugh and just so everyones on the same wave length the 14 kilometer beam range and a bazillion lumens was from a flashlight seller, not Cutters.
glad everything you say is right
Hmmm, I’ll let you all know how I like them I only order like 5, but it says my order shipped. Just waiting on their arrival.
Thats not fair…
hi
i am so glad to give your times to me
i bought some 3 watt cree led in one lighting market in my city but i don't know which model i bought
the seller not know about thats models no catalog not any manual they have just told me this is 3 watt cree led
i search all along cree.com web site but i cant find what model is that
can you tell me which model i bought
this is its picture i taken:
No LED name, no brightness bin, no color temperature.
It is a CREE XP-E LED first generation, rest of the fact will never be known, like for example the brightness bin.
thanks
i test it
it give brilliant white not cool not warm near pearl just a little like pure white
cree say 300 lumen but yet i have not any luminous tester to determine how many lumens release but so glare that my eyes got annoyance when i saw it
it produce much lumen instead chines leds ( chines have low brightness issue when i use them too much must use to give favorite issue)
never such glitter i saw like this that i can say 10 of this can brighten a middle salon
again i thank to you for guide me
