T4 bin and “5” tint are available in 80+ CRI, but those are 75 CRI typical.
You can see it by checking the order code. These are not top bin/CRI for that type of emitter, but for the price, you cant complain. Its kinda like buying XM-L2 T6, while U2 is out.
For a “5” tint , you should be able to either get a T5 BIN with same CRI (75), or 80+ CRI in T4.
Basically, when looking at XM-L2s all CW emitters are 65 typical.
NW, are 75 CRI typical by default (there are only a few in the lower 4000-4200K that are available in 80+ CRI, which are “5” tints”.
WW, are 80 CRI typical by default, but many of them are slightly higher (80), and some even 85+/90.
If the Cree order code/bin code have an “H” instead of “L”, its 80+ CRI.
Thanks Simon and R86. I couldn’t resist the price and ordered 5 anyway. Should be a great tint. Maybe I will be lucky and the cri will be close to 80. Either way, I’ll be happy.
Simon, I just ordered 3 of your S2-S7 SMO reflectors. Thank you for carrying these, look forward to getting them, I’ll keep everyone posted on how the transaction goes!
