"Lumileds' exclusive die coating technology ensures uniform coloration in the beam pattern, eliminating commercially unacceptable color irregularities that occur with white LEDs from other vendors because of a lack of uniformity in phosphur coverage of the die. Lumileds utilizes special tools and procedures to distribute the phosphor at a regulated and consistent thickness over the entire LUXEON chip."

How many Luxeon III LEDs fitted to lights from respected manufactuters do not live up to Lumileds' claims and have obvious marks on the phosphur?

Multiple votes allowed for those with various Lux III lights.

You're all doing this on purpose.

Someone post a tiebreaker; I'm off to design a "tactical" kaleidoscope (it's all in the white-luxeon array--I mean, the marketing).

17 Luxeon IIIs and 60 Luxeon I high domes, and no probelms with uniformity of the phosphor coating.
