Whatever premium that CPFers are willing to pay for a Cree XR-E instead of a Luxeon III will be challenged when the new P1D and P1D-CE come out. The difference in price between the Luxeon and Cree models will be the first round in the battle of the LED giants. Objectively this light will only be worth at most $20 over the P1. That is what CPFers are willing to pay for a Flupic board at retail. Maybe throw in another $5 for getting it installed. Fenix is almost certainly paying less for the XR-E than the premium bin Luxeon III, so there's no material cost increase to Fenix there.
If we see droves of people willing to pay $70 or more for them, I would hate to be sitting on an $ inventory of Luxeon lights. I think Lumileds will be the only one standing when the music stops on CPF!
Fenix's experiment will be the first shot in the LED wars. Let the battle begin!
