New XP-L High Intensity Emitter

Anybody test the throw on these yet? My D01 with a de-domed XPL V5 1A used to do 301,000cd, so I re-flowed a XPL HI 5700K on to the same star and only manage to get 279,000cd. But that’s o.k. with me, because as I tested the de-domed V5 for the last time, a piece of crap fell onto the emitter, started smoking, and scorched a nice black spot into it? Go figure? Well that will not happen with these H1’s, NOT any more!! No more chipping the phosphorus off from misplaced centering rings or reflectors that pop up and land on the emitter surface or stuff that magically appears and lands on it!!! I’ll gladly give up a bit of throw for a lot less frigging head aches and a way better tint!!! I wonder if these can take 7+ amps? 8)

Only six five three one triple left in stock @ Mtn...

:evil:

High intensity according to the data sheet

Wait, what’s this? Dedome option for $8.00? Seriously?

I’m sure it’s just an error. Copied over from the normal triple XP-L. Just pm RMM to let him know.

Wow. I didn’t know RMM had those in stock. I guess I missed the boat on XP-L HI mounted on 16mm and 20mm Noctigon. :_(

Richard still has 3 in stock

But no 16mm Noctigon to mount them on.

Er, does the tint bin work differently on these? Instead of a bin, it simply lists “5000K”.

Don’t know if this would be useful:

I think he got “E3”, that means it could be every 3ish tint, 3A, 3B, 3C or 3D. So 5000K desribes it pretty accurate.

Hmm so does anyone have pics of the triple XP=L HI leds mounted on a noctigon?
I figured before i go buying some new hype emitter i will see what the people with proper tools and knowledge to test it out.

I wonder when these will be available on single Noctigons?

Already are at least one place: http://www.cutter.com.au/products.php?cat=Cree+XPL+HI+Intensity

nice! I’m hoping rmm start selling them here in the US because Cutter shipping is super expensive

WooWoo! My XP-L HI order has just shipped from Mtn. this afternoon! I'm looking forward to getting these in...

@Mr. Nobody: just buy the triple from Mtn once they are back in stock; you know you will want more than one, and that way, you get three, then you can just reflow onto whatever size PCBs you want.

I've got a couple of projects I'm working on with these; one of the triple boards is going into a DD-FET S2; I'm using the additional board to salvage emiters. One to replace the XM-L in my STL-V2 style thrower, another (hopefully) for a future UltraFire 1504 build, and the extra as a spare in case the unthinkable happens...

RMM will be selling them on a single Noctigon soon.

What kind of kcd will a good KD C8 do equipped with this emitter, I wonder?
