I love my XP-G3 S5 3A emitters I got from MTN; used them in my Manker U11, Astrolux S3 and Thorfire TG06…
But I didn’t want to order more, as the shipping is SO expensive from the US… Now I can order G3 S5 bins with even warmer tints, for only 2 dollar shipping costs!
Boom!
I have some S5 3D much cheaper. I have tried to organize group-buy several times, but few users were interested.
Yeah, I see there doesn’t seem to be much interest in XP-G3’s.
Not much better in terms of lumen for linear drivers over XP-G2’s, I suppose. Then there’s the de-doming problem.
But for boost drivers (eneloop drivers), the lower forward voltage means even more lumens, so for my eneloop flashlights, I wouldn’t go for anything else (except maybe Nichia 219C D320’s), especially over XP-L’s as they have a tighter beam profile.
3D is my favourite tint BTW!
Huh? Did you make a thread? I don’t remember seeing anything about this. I’m not a big buyer but if the price is right I’d be in for 2-3.
I’m not-so-secretly hoping that they do an XP-G3 HI version, but who knows if that will ever happen.
I dont like spammers that write same things in all topics and I try to leave less comments and make less threads. In fact I have one thread for bare leds selling and just edit first post:
I have got first batch, sold them quckly, then got second one, sold few and used others, now have third in stock and have almost no chances to sell bare leds, if nobody is interested I will solder them to pcbs and spacers/pills and cell sets on ebay.
So you are selling them, or you aren’t?
Contact PM.
PM sent! 
Again have XP-G3s for good price in stock.
Off: How fast your orders get shipped from KD?
KD is usually pretty fast. Their order tracking system is outdated and terrible, but I always receive their packages well-packed and usually within 2 weeks even for the free option.
Cutter has high CRI XP-G3, i would like some.
But indeed, shipping costs…
Group buy for 90+CRI emitters?
How does a group buy works? Total n00b on such a subject… 
Cheers ^:)
How much is shipping? Do you want me to reship them if its cheaper? But shipping to my house is $8 Aussie. I could always just ship them in a tiny envelope?
I thought Cutter had free shipping OS if the order was above a certain amount.
That shipping price i can not beat lol
Could be wrong. Just had it in the back of my mind they did.
Namely, AUD $60 for an E5 U1 on 20mm TPAD to my country. Just a tiny bit overwhelming, LOL! 
Well, after a wild bunch of additional emitters on TPADs devoid of (I'd say) any considerable additional wheight and upon raising my cart value above AUD $214, shipping increased to AUD $70.
Suggestion to Cutter: warehouse in Hong Kong & free shipping worldwide. 
Cheers ^:)
Yeah, us Aussies have the same problem bring stuff in from anywhere but China. Maybe everyone not in China should be. :person_facepalming:
Mouser has 3000K and 5700K CRI 90 XP-G3’s in stock.
How about a 90+ CRI group buy 16 and 20mm star? 5000k for example or similar? I am sure everyone would buy a few…
