You lucky dog. 
Mouser again :tired: (shipping of 25 dollar per order is making me not buy these now). Anyone care to send me two for testing? (I will pay for costs and shipping in a plain envelope without tracking)
Can Cutter do them, and will postage from the colony of Australia be cheap enough?
Cutter dont have stock yet. They will probably arrive when I'm away for 5 weeks. If I'm here I'd be more than happy to send a couple over.
tell me how it calculate
Simply put in the same optic system the XP-L HI will throw farther than XP-L HD.
Oh Boy!
XPLAWT-H1-0000-000BU50E2 5700K
XPLAWT-H1-0000-000BU50E3 5000K
XPLAWT-H1-0000-000BU40E5 4000K
If nobody else is able, I might be interested. Maybe a trade? I send you the XP-Ls, and you send me a 219C? (unless there is a US supplier for the Nichia, I couldn’t find one)
I'd have to order some Nichia's again for this, but I'd be alright doing that. But is it not easier ordering the Nichia leds yourself at leds.de? They take Paypal, I just would not know how much the shipping is to the States.
I get an error
If it’s a hassle or takes awhile to order again I can wait for them to come to mtn or intloutdoor, it’s not a big deal. I was about to place an order with mouser today or tomorrow. Is there a particular variant of the XP-L you would prefer? (feel free to PM me if you want)
Got my shipping notice.
My shipment of high-intensity XPLs should arrive Wednesday. I ordered six each of 4000k and 5000k. No idea the tint bin … just the first 4000k and 5000k listed on the Mouser website.
I plan to try them in small triples and zoomies.
I should see 12 of the 5700K tomorrow, they go immediately into my M43. 
(already have 10 brand new 10507’s standing by)
I was told by Nichia that the 219C won’t be ready til August.
Dale. I’m looking forward to seeing your beamshots.
Nice Dale! Make sure to take some before and after beamshots.
Dale, have you tested one with the Carclo optics?
I emailed Carclo a little while ago and they told me this emitter wouldn’t fit under an unmodified optic.
This was the picture they sent back to me…
It’s really pretty simple, if the bottome of the TIR in the Carclo lens is more than 1mm above the step on the leg, it’ll fit. Otherwise some modification might be necessary. So be it. I have no problem sawing/slicing/melting/drilling/carving on pretty much anything.
So what modifications will we need to do to get it to fit?
- Maybe use a very sharp exacto knife and saw the edges of the Silicone lens on the LED so that it’s 45 degrees instead of 90 degrees?
- Maybe file the bottom edges of the optic to widen it slightly. Similar to what we do now for domed XPL, just not so deep into the optic?
Interesting. The fact that CREE actually sent you a picture shows that they’ve thought about it. This isn’t just some off-the-cuff customer service rep giving a clueless a response.
It was Carclo that sent me the render, not CREE.
For what it’s worth here, I simulated these emitters by placing a 1mm sheet of copper over the die and shaving the dome off with a scalpel. 1mm fits under the triple optics. I’ve already assembled 12 of these into the M43 but actually didn’t see the output I expected, probably due to losses by shaving the dome off.
So this will be my second attempt.
But the optics did fit over my shaved emitters.
Edit: I cut a square hole in the sheet of copper that fit over the emitter die.
