Both Elektrolumens and Arc have received samples of these LEDs, but no one has commented yet on expected delivery dates. ???????

What's so special about them?

from what peter and wayne have said...nothing /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
by all outward appearances, it seems as if the emitter is merely placed on the star in a fasion similar to that of a 5watter.

Bin V4V 5 Watt Luxeon Stars, Bin W4. One 3 watt LS

Elektrolumens: I have total of 4 of these samples. Three went into a Tri-lens test flashlight. Whoah! Yes, these are very bright!....
...At first I was sceptical of the 3W, because I thought it was just a souped up 1W. Anyway, the light is on the blue side, sort of like flourescent lighting. I am very impressed with it. Seems to be much brighter than the 1W.

Seems to me this would be a dead-simple mod in an existing 1W aluminum light with C or D cells, not to mention the possibilities in new lights.

i'm not so certain...
it could very well be that the die in his 3w unit was superior to that of his 1w unit...
the 3w claims improved thermal workings, but from all i can tell, it only applies to the method they use of bonding the emitter to the star.
there were no claims of increased output due to better/changed materials, so one would assume that the die is the same die as in the 1w (still subject to variances of course).
if this is the case, the 3w star may perform better with increased current than the 1w star, but the 1w emitter will still perform better with increased current than the 3w star.
it would be nice to hear lumileds official words, as pretty much all i have heard is conjecture /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Gransee: One of the key values of the part is you can get quite a bit of light from a small point source.

I'm waiting for a chorus of: "Paypal sent!"

Any dates on its introduction?
