Hello everyone, I bought some CREE LEDs on eBay (just the bulbs on a PCB, no driver) and I’d like other people’s opinion as to whether they’re genuine.
I bought a few models but so far, after two months only 2 out of 6 packages have arrived (this is not rare for my country):
XP-E, neutral white, 4000k-5000k:
I do have genuine XP-E bulbs and I know that they don’t look anything like that. The only reason I ask you guys is because all my genuine XP-E LEDs are cool whites. Should there be a difference?
Here is a photo of my (I believe) genuine XP-E taken by the same cheap USB microscope:
The second one is CREE XT-E, Cool white, 6000k-6500k:
This is the first XT-E I buy. Does it look genuine to you?
Also, I’d like to take this opportunity and ask: Can anyone recommend a store or an eBay/Aliexpress seller that is known to have only genuine CREE LEDs and that has free/cheap worldwide shipping (specifically to the Middle East)?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I made a mistake (new here).
