Cree MC-E released

[Erasmus]

Hey there,

I just got a note that Cree is shipping the MC-E LED to it's distrubutors. They are released in small batches and as far as I know the K-bin (93 to 107 lumen per die at 350 mA, which is comparable to Q3/Q4 bin XR-E's) is available in cold white, I currently don't have any other info on other available bins. Retailers should start shipping them in a few days I am not selling any of these, just informing you fellow CPF'ers...

Cheers
Raf

Ya you beat me to this by just a few minutes.

Right Now DigiKey has these for sale. $30 each for the WK Color, 10,000k.

Price is High, but hopefully they will come down. I use these LED's in automotive applications and people Love having the cooler white colors

I'm keeping my eye on this one!
I can't tell if Cutter Au is shipping or not? It looks like they are?

I tried to put them in the cart, but it won't let me order bare, only on 20mm star?

Nice, but what do we know about the beam profile?Is the same like a single core cree?Or different?Are we going to need new reflectors?

Both P7 and MC-E can be driven to full spec. by a single R123 ( shown 3Ps with D26 P7 and MC-E module driven by a LiMN 3.7V R123 ):

mds82 : I have been trying different reflector sizes from 20mm to 50mm and couldn't completely get rid of the donut hole. Sitting the emitter higher or lower won't help either.

I think we need new reflectors/optics.
There are at least 2 manufacturers offering optics for the MCE.
