Where to buy CREE XM-L RGBW MCPCB?

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

Hello,
Could anyone tell me where I can buy a PCB with a direct thermal path for CREE XML RGBW emitter? It can be sinkpad or any other PCB with a direct thermal pad.

Mtnelectronics.com is the only place that has them, however they only have 4 in stock and I need 20 of them. I have sent multiple messages over the last week and a half, but they will not reply with an answer as to when or if they will restock. (Very Frustrating! They could at least send me a curtesy message letting me know they have received my message.)

Thanks for any help!

s. I have a source where I can buy the emitters with cool white for a good price, but if anyone knows where to find them in NEUTRAL WHITE please let me know. (Bare emitter or on PCB) thanks

I haven't received any messages from you.

If you want neutral white, you got to pay the price like I did. Nobody has it cheaper than I could find. The cool whites are a dime a dozen and now that there are fake Cree LEDs being made, that good price for the cool white might be to good to be true.

RMM What do you mean?

Jubeldum,
Yes… If I buy the emitters from mouser I can get neutral white. I can be sure of the quality, and I wouldn’t have to unsolder the emitters to reflow to DTC.
But:/ when buying 20 emitters its 260 vs 100. So I’m not sure yet.

My biggest problem is finding the MCPCBs

Oh my… RRM, are you THE RRM? /: :\ :\ :expressionless: (Embaraced)…

7

RRM? Yeah, if you were messaging RRM that's not me.

I wouldn’t trust it since I have never bought from there, but it has the NW that you want but they call it WW in the drop down.

Why would one want so many XM-L Colors for other than making hunting flashlights for some Yoopers?

Hmmm? I don’t usually trust information from trolls but I will take a look(;

I took a look at kiwilighting. It looks like the same kind of thing, you don’t realy know wathya gonna git… As soon as I can secure some reflow pcb’s, I think I’m going to take the chance and I will take what I get?

So… RRM. Do you know when mntE’s going get more rgbw sinkpads?

11

Like I said, I wouldn’t trust them. Check out the picture in the testimonials. LOL!

12

Still not sure who RRM is, but probably not for another 2-3 weeks. I used up a lot of them getting some turned down to 16mm.

13

Ok. Thanks. I will keep waiting on them then. I can’t believe this is the only seller of these pads…

I am new to this forum so I didn’t know that you were associated with mntE’s. Earlier I would have spoke differently of my frustration had I known that. :slight_smile:

I am still confused about where you were sending your messages. I still haven't received anything from you.

They aren't that popular. I've had them for 6+ months and have only sold a handful of them. It's hard for someone to justify stocking them when there is little demand.

15

Yes, I understand not stocking them for sure.
Are you still going to restock them? Or could you get me some if I order them and pay in advance? I am unable to work do what I can when I can so I am not in a hurry for anything. I am recovering from a 5 year tragic illness and part of my recovery therapy is to get a hobby. So here I am:)

As for the messages… I sent 4 messages using the customer service “contact us” link on the Mountain Electronics website. Each time it confirmed my message but maybe I was filtered to spam?

16

Yes I am going to restock them with my next Sinkpad order, which is still a few weeks away.

E-mail me directly. mountainelectronics at gmail. The contact form seems to not work with some browsers.

17

OH MY!!! You’ve got to be kidding me! I did not even pay attention!
They need to be a little more careful in copying images from Google. Well I didn’t trust them anyway. Sad thing is I was planning on getting the XML RGBWs from there and I still think I might. Does that make me a supporter?

IDK? I may change my mind but I was planning on ordering from them while hoping that their fake version the the Cree would be good enough to cover the $14 vs $7 difference in price. If the output is low, I can accept that, but I don’t want to get an emitter with bad tint. Cuz’ here in MI all “tint” is against the law. :wink:

Carpenter Edgar looks like “One Tough Nerd”. I hope his green LED therapy is helping him. :bigsmile:

Are we aloud to continue to use Michiganisms on this forum:)

Can anyone interpret the following Cree order code? Is it neutral white? CCT?
