Not that I know of. They aren't on the same level of the Nichias, nor the Cree XP-Gs, but the Crees would be very warm. For that matter, though, the 'proper' high-CRI Rebels also would be warm, like them. The XP-Gs, also, would get more lm/W than the Rebels, and fit right on existing PCBs. I imagine that they got much better pricing for Rebels than Crees or Nichias.

So, no, they're mostly getting use in fixed lighting and such, and most manufacturers would simply charge a premium for a warm high-CRI Cree or neutral Nichia, to get the 20%+ improvement in lm/w. Hopefully, ZL will, too. I'm itching for a SC52c.
