I am looking to upgrade some of my lights, and would like to get some XP-G R5's. I know they are highly desired, but can I find them anywhere for a decent price on stars? I live in the USA.

Also, would there be any reason to swap in XP-E's instead of XP-G's?

Hi michaelmcgo,

Cutter electronics sells them, currently they are out of stock but the website says they will be shipping in Jan. You can choose from an number of different sizes and shapes of PCB there, and if you order over 100$ worth of product before Jan 1 shipping is free. Looks like if you would be willing to settle for R4s you could get them right away. On a star they would be 6.58$ each for R4s or if you can wait for R5s 7.01 ea.

I had luck ordering from Kaidomain, the R5 "WC" tint on 16mm board was true to their specs, considering I have some R4 I got from Nailbender, the R5 was brighter using the same driver.

The product number I ordered was SKU: S008960

Your results may be different.
