Since Part 3 is now closed....
rdshores had a question on who manufacturers the Snow 29 LEDs. I think the question got swamped/missed due to the other post /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif. I would like to know the answer as well so here is a free bump.
MJ, can you provide the answer?

I am sorry guys I can not provide that information, however I can say someone will figure it out if they have not already.

I will assume that this is to protect "trade secrets". However, claims have been made on the Peak site with beam pics comparing the "Snow 29" to the Nichia CS. There are also some inferences that the Nichia CS LEDs in other products will have a shorter lifespan. It feels like a "trust me - ours is better" statement. While this type of statement may work with a less informed audience, I believe many people at CPF are a little more curious than the average customer.
So, while it is easy to obtain the Nichia data sheet, it is a PITA to go through all the LED manufacturers to find one that produces a white LED with a 29 cd bin. Hopefully, some one will come up with the info and inform the CPF populace. Well, thanks for providing an answer - now I can start a search instead of waiting.
