Luxeons are the brightest leds out there right now, right? Are there any other companies planning on releasing a similar or better product? In an industry such as this, there is hardly ever one company so far ahead of the rest. I should like to think that there are other companies that are at least trying to produce comparable items.
 
what about them? They are working on a comparable led? do you have any details?

This high-flux LED is claimed to be a little less powerful than the Luxeon 1 Watt. That's about it....
 
see HERE

Certainly behind on their release date but the white promises to have a slightly higher Lumen output than Luxeon 1w. More significant will be the color consistancy, bin identification, beam pattern and of course thermal output and price. The square housing will fit nicely in round holes !!?!?
 
Well it may be square, but did you see its dimensions in the pdf file on their site PDF. It looks to be approx 3/8" square(ish). That's pretty small, could still easily fit in many mods, IMHO. Given their dimensions, the diagonal would measure 13.3 mm, enough clearance for a fit into a mini mag.

E,

I agree completely and look forward to gettting my hands on one of these. I do think that redirection of the photons will require the LED residing within the focal plane of a reflector and the square base will require a larger access hole than the Luxeon does. Not insurmountable and brobably not a big deal.

Recently,
I heard that power10X-LED of NICHIA were a sale schedule in about August, next year.
