I’m really curious where they bought the 219B 9080 emitters. The only places you can get them is from LEDRISE that sells for $4.50 each if you buy a full roll or $3.50 from Virence.com, which has very limited quantities and definitely not enough for such a large production. Assuming they buy from LEDRISE, that would be about $5.00/each so 9x$5 = $45 for emitters alone.
Just out of curiosity:
Why is there a big surcharge on those XP-L Hi LEDs? Are these more expensive than those already-rare Nichia 219B R9080?
I’m very much interested in the U6 5B tint but how many interested user do you need until Sunday?
XP-L HI is more expensive than 219B/C, that’s why it costs more for all the Emisar lights as well. The 219B is “rare” now, but it wasn’t particularly expensive when it was available, and Fireflies must have a good stock.
