i think “on the warmer side of neutral” or something like that… i am not a tint expert.

GUNGA:

canada? why not…

if you tell me what address to send it to, you are already paying the “real” envelope-postage… I honestly dont care “where” it goes? I just care that i can do it at the post office, lol.

LightRider said:
“Ya. It’s an r4 brightness bin. 130lumens at 350ma.”

“Yes exactly. 2amps is max. Anymore and you start losing output because of its low ability to handle heat. So 1.5-2amps is a safe range.”

GUNGA was the “test” for overseas shipping.

The post office employee would NOT give me the “couple dollar” first class overseas rate, it cost somethng ridiculous like 9 or 10 dollars.

I popped the couple bucks out of my own pocket, just because i was curious…. they claim the cheap rate is only for “paper thin” envelopes and the emitters are over 1/4” or something…

which makes international shipping back to too expensive… although if a bulk order is worth it to you, i will do it.

i was tempted to get 100 but dont think i would use that many before they were completely outdated.
ANSWER
well, define “outdated”. in the middle of the “xml2” craze (when i got here couple years back) I would see threads where someone was showing off their “classic xml” that must have been some special bin and ran HIGH amps. For lower power applications? many times the difference is academic.

i am sure others can make better use rather than sitting in my obsolete parts box.
ANSWER
well, in my case? I wanted a “fistful” to basically sit in a baby food jar “at that price”.Idea being that when i figured what to DO with some? they are there. If i wanna buy a cheap multiemitter? and see about replacing 12 saladbrughts? baby food jar! i wanna make xmas gifts with cheap 68 lights? baby food jar! under every shelf lighting? one guy said i should make light bars.i’m thinking bout fiddling to make lights to replace my basement lights. i wanna try to make “pucklights” and maybe a “perfect fishing lantern”. For THESE uses? they are perfect.

all those purple latticecraps that need replacing are getting their eviction notice.
ANSWER
Thats the spirit! I have been LOOKING at cheap light bars? to get “real” emitters is REAL expensive. Same giant light bar? with cheepies? really inexpensive… i can make a CREE light bar for next to nothing over the cost of the generic one.

QUOTE
not every day someone gets a deal on a whole reel of crack leds and spreads them around.
ANSWER
I know,lol… everytime i *think*about making a light bar or a lantern or cabinet lights? I cant justify spending several dollars on every LED.what if i blow 10 of them learning what i am making? once you want to just “play”? cost stops you on multi emitter projects

so yeah, you know how you “see that about as often as a unicorn“phrase?

Well… i guess i am breeding unicorns,ha ha.
****************************************************
seriously though, theres another reel… and the guy i bought them off of? contacted me recently… i might be able to get some more of these, apparently this happened because of something to do with stuff left behind in a big warehouse, that rents subdivided space… and the renters sometimes “subdivide” their big “subdivision” to others…

apparently,my 2 reels were some of the only things they knew what they were… I think i am gonna take a trip, and see what i can get.

if this works out, i plan on flooding our little market with whtever i get…

these things arent THAT outdated… they re perfect for multiemitter projects, and, for replcing blue sald brites in multiuemitter setups.

iknow i plan to make a “worklight”… so,the more the merrier.

i figure we can all put them on our shelf. PLus? at least ONE overseas guy liked the idea? but int’l shipping is too expensive…if i get any more of these, i might see if he wants a whole REEL, because it should be cheap for HIM to send them to other guys on his continent…

my new hobby? “breeding unicorns”,haha

if i DO manage to get more? i am thinking about reflowing them onto inexpensive stars… reason being? only guys that reflow at home get to have fun now… if i can provide them on cheap stars? then anyone that can unscrew a light can have fun too…

i’m just having fun off of working all summer…

I think i’m gonna put some of these on aluminum stars……

people that dont reflow? need them to replace FAKES in the cheap 68 lights

i sold to a member GUNGA in canada? to test int’l shipping… it was EXPEN$IVE.

I only charged him “like he was in the USA”, and paid it out of my pocket? because i was curious about int’l shipping…

it actually would be “okay”, but… anything thicker than a piece of paper? it goes thru the roof…

I will check when i go to the post office and see?but be prepared for sticker shock… that said? I’ll ship it to the planet JUPITER if the customer pays the shipping.
