Received an interesting Warm White 2800°K XRE from Cree today.
The phosphor looks Orange and under UV turns very RED.

I wanted these to balance the 6000° XRE's for some multiple LED lights.

I'm hoping one 2800° and two 6000° will give me better color rendition index for a 3-LED light.

The bin was N3 which is ~60 Lumens @ 350ma, not bad for such a warm color bin. They are rated to 700ma.

i got one of those as a sample from cree, doesnt put out a ton of lumens, but its really nice for room lighting. i like warm white light, and these are about as warm as youd ever want, almost warmer than an incandescent light bulb. for room lighting, i prefer WH Crees, they are yellowish but not as yellow as these (and way brighter to boot). if you have any friends who dislike leds because they think the light is too cold, this is the perfect led to show them.

Thank you for that. I may have to do the same on one of my tri-leds. What part of Dallas are you in? I'm over in Garland.
