i dunno what this means but it looks good!

Oh crap. Seems like just yesterday I upgraded my Raw NS to a Cree.

And I've just had the L1DCE for like a month. Just ordered the 2AA tube too...
Oh well... can't have too much light in your life.... right?

Looks really small, prob won't be a direct swap... why not make it the usual luxeon size but brighter.

Anyway, seems like lumens/watt is not anything to shout about; around the same level as the current Cree/SSCs.

Friends rest assured: there's no sleep in front of true flashaholics, every other day someone will come out with new products that outshine the previous ones.

Better start putting some money away pretty fast, many purchases needed soon :naughty:

 

[Long John]

IMO it looks very promising. The big advantage: The smaller the light source-the better collecting the light.

The die size is 1mm^2, same as the Cree xre. It's just the overall package that is smaller. That can't be a bad thing though.

 

[x2x3x2]

just what i was thiking, dye size seems the same.
so does the identical looking spec of 70lm/w at 350ma... claimed anyway. could they perhaps be using the same technology?

 

[monkeyboy]

They must use similar (copied?) technology since I can't imagine that Luxeon would use the Cree die. Judging from the length of time taken for them to bring out the K2, I estimate that these will hit the market towards the end of 2008 :laughing:

I cant find a way how to order samples. Have any of you guys ever get them from lumileds?

Does it have a glass dome? I'm thinking it may be the emitter for an Arc AA upgrade.

No, silicone

So now I'm thinking it's probably not the new, super modern emitter for an Arc AA upgrade.

Cheers for the info LJ.

hmmm.. those tiny leads ...

 

[Long John]

"Rebel" is the perfect name for them......it will be a rebellion in Led-light technology:rock:

Hopefully they will be available soon.

PhotonFanatic where are you?:lolsign:

You could fit 4 of these into the same footprint as the XR-e

I'm sure a reflector or optic could be designed to collimate this.

That's kind of funny, the first thought I had upon seeing the tiny LED was "Those things are small enough to put four of them in one reflector!"
Talk about the mother of all donut holes, though..
