We need to find a whole seller that makes an AC bulb with the new Q5 emitter.

I have tested my flash lite with the Q5 in comparison to the 68watt quarts bulb I have, and it comes very close. Evan more so with the tight beam.

I am convinced this is the light of the future. But why not right now! We have a shop that sells off the grid equipment and need to find a source.

There are AC drivers available, what kind of Voltage?

Dr LED has a replacment bulb that has the Q3 or 4 and may take the Q5 but it is for12volt. doctorLED.com

For the acriche LEDs, any recommendation for achieving the 'ol "warm white" temperature, ie combinations of different individual LEDs? (setting aside lens considerations).

That LED comes in 4000k if I remember right that is pretty warm by itself.
I am not sure what kind of lamp holder it is made for but Mouser carries them stock and I am sure their customer service would be glad to help.
I ordered P7 from them and had them in three days from time I ordered. They did not specify the binning and I emailed and their CS emailed back a couple of hours later.

120 v AC ready to screw in a lamp.

I also want to know how to make these things....where can I get the parts etc

why isn't every one scrambling to make them?

Why? ....well for one they are.... think big names like Philips Lighting, GE, etc.

Right now though, you can build a bright, efficient compact flourescent for under $1 .... in volumes. Equivalent brightness from a LED is still almost an order of magnitude more expensive. That will change of course. LED has lots of other technical hurdles including generally more difficult to develop power supply (low voltage) and the need to get rid of heat. That said, over the next several years, they will become far more available commercially.
