I managed to order one of the XHP70 emitters from DigiKey.
Now I’m trying to figure out where to get a sink pad. Ideally, since I’m in Canada, I’m looking for a “shipped free” pad - which generally takes me to eBay first.
I’m scratching my head trying to figure out what has the same pad footprint as the XHP70. It seems like XML is too small and MTG2 is too big.
Am I missing something obvious?
Wights A17DD-S08 with a Zener modification. 2 Efest Purple 18350’s. And most of the tricks the hat could hold. 
It’s not obvious. What you’re missing is the MK-R. SinkPAD has an existing product for the MK-R which will enable 6v operation with the XHP70.
Very pretty
Why the Xs
The two marked with X appear damaged maybe. I can see some scratches that traverse the full pad that might be at issue, Im not sure what issue that creates, but its the only thing they both have i common that i did not notice on the unmarked ones. I think DB was willing to part with some for sale/trade or whatever (there was a minimum order quantity from the source IIRC) and maybe he just wants to make sure he doesnt send those ones by mistake?
SinkPAD determined that those 2 were not up to their specs, so they cut em with a box knife and marked the X on em. I tested em with my DMM and they’re fine. I was told they shouldn’t be, but continuity or lack thereof showed them to be just fine. Beats me.
I would probably have put one sheet of 15 in a small frame and hung em on the wall if they’d left the X off and not cut em up.
BLF15 code works for XHP50 w/ SinkPAD on LEDDNA now, bringing it to $13.60. oooooh soooo tempted!
Good find. Either they have a cart limit of 10 or they only have 10 in stock. It may be best to move quickly.
Get it without the sinkpad and get it for $12.32
Good thing I have nothing better to do than moniter these pages 24/7! I nabbed one for $12.32 total. Aluminum star and free shipping. I already have a Noctigon to use.
Why not purchase it bare then? Less reflows = less damage.
Personally I figure I don’t have a lot of use for less than 3 of them until they reach approximately $5-6 bare.
Because I’m still a newb and I don’t think of things like that. :~ Oh well.
I told myself I would at least wait til they were under $10, but I’ve got the “early adopter” bug right now. My wife hates it.
It probably doesn’t matter to anyone, but LEDDNA is just using XM-L sinkpads, so 6v only.
I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
Yep, getting better 
“Color temperature: 4750-5350K”
Yep, they will start showing up all over, but everyone's making a killing on the price, just like the MT-G2. We probably should have just kept dissing these leds, so the price would have been lower. I hope KD carries some 5000k for a lower price, like they did with the MT-G2.
Well tbh, I’m not falling over myself to pick one up yet.
I’m still not exactly convinced by the multi-die stuff, no matter how many lumens they chuck. Not to mention as the colour temp approaches that of the mt-g2 the total output gain doesn’t seem quite so fantastic anymore…but that’s just me.
