Source of XPL HI in 3A or 3D bin

I’m having trouble finding a few XPL HI emitters in 3A or 3D bin.
This is my favorite LED when looking for high output and throw.

Prefer bare emitters.

Anybody have a source that has these in stock?

Thanks,

You can find 3A here, on Convoy Store at AliExpress:

Or here, at Intl-Outdoor:

XP-L HD V6 3D (not HI version)

Thanks.
I thought I looked at the Convoy store… Missed that one.
A U6 output bin is a little low for a 3A, but I didn’t specify that! I would prefer a V2 or V3, but this is a good backup.

I know I looked at Intl-Outdoor. They have a 1A and a 3C, but no 3A/3D.
I sometimes get a 3C that is too green. I’ve had better luck with 3A/3D.

Much prefer the HI version to avoid most of the “rainbow” and get better throw.
When I’m not after highest output and throw, a shaved 351D 4000k or 5000k is my go-to.

Thanks again for the options!

XPL-HD at Intl-outdoor is quit white and i would dare to say a bit rosy.

You have mixed XPL2 (rainbow) with XPL (first gen, no extra yellow around die)

Thanks for pointing out that the XPL HD at intl-outdoor is first gen. That is definitely better than 2nd gen!

I find the tint variation from spill to spot just OK on the XPL HD. The XPL HI is more even to my eyes.
Nichia 219b and Samsung 351D have spoiled me in this regard.

Some of the emitters that may get replaced with shaved 351Ds are XPL HD 3Ds. Only when I want the most output and throw do I stick with the XPL HI.
If I could find a 351D 5700k that wasn’t still a bit green after a slice, that would start replacing XPLs.

Thanks again for the info. I’m not trying to be difficult. I’ve tried a lot of emitters and have gotten a little picky.

They have V3 3A but it’s not listed as spare part, that said a few months ago I asked for non listed stuff and I was able to get everything I asked.
