Can't wait to see Dereelight doing "something" with this new LED. :twothumbs:twothumbs
In DBS V3 maybe ?

This is the reason why I hold off on the purchase of Eagletac M2X cuz I knew some major things are gonna happen this summer !

I was thinking the same thing

No information about this Cree LED has not been posted before, the one "previously" was showing 161 lumens per watt at 350ma

http://www.cree.com/press/press_detail.asp?i=1227101620851

this new press release was only just posted by cree

http://www.cree.com/press/press_detail.asp?i=1241094842732

139 lumens per watt or 345lm at 1amp (Xlamp XP-G) hopefully this die will be roughly the same size as the Q5/R2 so i can upgrade my P1D

Now if only they can combine this technology with salmon sperm, carbon nanotube antireflective treatment (increased transmission efficiency, already successfully used with solar cells and led's), and phosphorless "warm white" nanotubes, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see 250 lumens / watt at 350 mA...

very nice. Perfect for P60 modules, and should improve 1AAA performance too.

Nice to see them focus back on efficiency, lower Vf and lower If. The 4-die emitters are fun and all, but their power and thermal cooling requirements leave me wanting... something different.

I was at a convention and the Fraen reps were showing off some nice refracting optics and saying the XR-E "Cree rings" were caused by reflections off the metal hoop. It'd be nice if they could reduce those rings a little.

I hope he puts one in the C2H!

WadeF · May 1, 2009

When they are available I see no reason why Dereelight wouldn't offer it in a pill for the CL1H and DBS, and a C2H pill too. Imagine 300 lumens coming out the front of the C2H? Or whatever it would work out to be. Driven at 1.2A the DBS/CL1H might have a solid 300 lumens out the front, or more. The new emitter should also have a cleaner beam and may throw better.

Also I think the OP means good bye XR-E. I think even with a XP-E, XP-G, etc, you still might have R2's, etc. Not sure about how they are binned.

DM51 · May 1, 2009

The other thread in the LED section (linked by Marduke in post #2 above) is discussing the scientific/technical aspects of this new emitter.

This thread is speculating on which lights it may be used in, and what their capabilities and features might be. I don't see any harm in that, as it makes it a slightly different topic.

If the two threads begin to converge they may need to be combined, but in the meantime we'll let both of them continue.

When are these new Crees supposed to be in production?

Did ya read the article?

adnj · May 1, 2009

The new LEDs are available 3rd quarter 2009.

Excellent Smithers! Is Cree usually on time with their new LED roll-outs?

I think they usually are, and sometimes they are ahead of schedule from what I've seen.

defloyd77 · May 1, 2009

I'm really looking forward to these in 1AAA lights. Get ready for tactical penlights!

offroadcmpr · May 1, 2009

I think I will hold off on buying lights. I was looking into a 2AA light, but with this news I will wait. Not to get the new one, but to wait for when everyone sells the old style LED's for cheap!!

YourTime · May 1, 2009

any idea when this new Led be available to customers?

Did you try reading the article, OR even the previous posts in this thread?

Look up

Patriot · May 1, 2009
