Another company has better LED than a Luxeon

Edison Opto, a Taiwan based high-power LEDs packaging manufacturer, has launched its latest addition, KLC8 series, to the Edixeon high power LED family.
The new series bring the industry's brightest single-chip LED with 250 lumens at a drive current of 1A.
It also delivers high luminous efficacy of 100 lumens/watt at 350mA, with a lifespan exceeds 50,000 hours.

Another company leaps ahead of the Luxeon LED. Do you think in a few months we'll have a Fenix P1D type light with 200+ lumens? I bet we do.

In some of the press releases, they mention they use the CREE die...fyi.

"A Taiwan-based LED packaging company is using Cree chips to manufacture ultra-high performance power LEDs"

"The package, able to operate from a wide drive current range of 0-1000 mA, contains a single 40-mil chip supplied by Cree, according to Vincent Lee, Edison Opto's business development manager. "We design and manufacture the packages at our production site in Taipei, Taiwan," he says"

Unfortunately, all these LEDs from various souces, look like they are using the CREE die, where the slug is + (or postitive), so folks will have to figure out how to insulate the slug.

For anyone that doesn't know, 40mil is the same as 1 mm (or darn close).

Details on the CREE die that everyone is utilizing to achieve these records:

0.98mm by 0.98mm according to the datasheet...

I saw folks were talking about it over here:
