Hi guys,
This is a small wave (15 lights) of the titanium SunDrop XR-U discussed in greater detail, HERE. The light consists of a 3S converter driving a Nichia High CRI 083B LED. The XR-U head has the same sapphire lens as that of the original SunDrop but the lens is positioned further from the LED. In the case of the Nichia LE, this means a tighter flood angle and higher lux.
The 3S converter provides ~330 mA to the Nichia 083B High CRI LED. Medium and low levels are PWM with reduced duty cycles of this set current driving the LED and resulting in lower output. The designer of the converter has tagged the converter as a "constant color" driver.
This head is also compatible with any number of other Aleph style light engines as well as the Cree 3S LE I have been using in the Haiku lights.
The price on these titanium SunDrop XR-U lights is $440 plus shipping*.
These lights are available on first come first serve basis; as determined by e-mail orders I receive which are clear, concise and include the must have information:
In the subject line of the E-mail please state: SunDrop XR-U
Your CPF name (if you have one)
Your real name and mailing address
phone number if international shipment
Any exceptions to standard shipping, which is priority mail.
If the shipment is domestic and you want insurance, please so state. (No insurance offered on international shipments)
For my general info on how I process these offerings, please refer to THIS THREAD.
Note:
The SunDrop 3S is compatible with a single cell battery pak. The converter is a buck/boost driver capable of running from a single primary lithium or Li-Ion battery.
* shipping is via Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation or Global Priority mail. If you wish shipping via an alternative method, or signature confirmation or insurance on domestic shipments only, please specify in your e-mail order.
Much of the "details" here have been taken from previous wave threads. However, this once, I wish to bring specific attention to the fact that I pass responsibility and ownership of the light over to you as soon as I have entrusted it with the shipping agency. I request payment at this time. It now appears that some of you wait until receipt of the light before making payment. That works provided the light does arrive, even if I have to wait sometimes for weeks to receive payment. But this is not in accord with our "agreement".
Any loss in shipment is your loss and not mine. I recently shipped off a LunaSol 20, in good faith, to a member in Australia and it became apparent almost immediately that he not only didn't bother to understand how I handle these transactions, he expressed a concern that the package might not make it to him and he has yet to make payment on the light; presumably he was psychic and knew the light would not reach him. This is my loss at his decision and frankly, it really upsets me!!!
I understand how many if not most large business now hold the customer clear of any liability or loss and that the businesses assume all responsibility until the item is safely in the new owners hand. I don't dispute that this is great customer service! However, I can't afford to assume the risk and liability of the safe transit of these lights. I realize I don't offer insurance to international shipments and hopefully you who have done business with me in the past can understand the reasons behind this; I won't get into it on a public forum. If you are an international member and are concerned about the safety of the shipment, I suggest you opt for EMS which is a bit more than double the price but it does have some reasonable tracking involved. :shrug: Sorry.
Simply put, if you are not willing to assume the ownership and responsibility of the light once it is out of my hands and entrusted to the shipping agency, please don't get one from me. No worries and I do understand.
Thank you for your interest and consideration.
