Shouldn't the X-bin luxVs be available now?

The title pretty much says it. We are seeing s-binned lux1s around and they are rated 51.7-67.2 lumens. You take four of them and create 206.8-268.8 lumen x-binned LuxV... But where are they? We have s-binned lux1s so shouldn't we have X-binned LuxVs as well?

...And in case someone has them, I'm willing to buy one! :)

You mean you don't have any? Well we can't talk about them with you unless you know the secret handshake.

There has been an improvement in availability of W bin LuxVs, but you are right, there don't seem to be any X bins around, yet.

I think that with the recent influx of U bin Lux3s and S bin Lux1s we have an indication of improving production processes at Lumileds, and maybe we will see some X bins showing up soon - though even so I doubt they will be a common item in the near future.
