i am looking for some nice white Lux3 emitters.
i have repeatedly tried to order some from elektrolumens, but it will not allow me a shipping option.

wasnt sure where to post this.

any other vendors with good prices and good bin?
edited to add: i hate paypal. prefer check or credit card.

edit again! found this place:
http://www.luxeonstar.com/?c1=banner&source=candlepowerforums

but, they dont sell binned LED's. maybe they would be ok?

edited to state that i FINALLY got an order through at elektrolumens (i trust his stuff).
but...if anyone has alternate sources, im all ears.

thanks,
Bob

It appears quite difficult to find any bad lux3 emitters these days.
Plus, they only cost 1.5 times as much as lux1 emitters and can be used just like them for super long life, or driven close to max ratings for great visual results.
I'm only finding complaints about the luxeon lottery on lux1 emitters so far.
Check this out.

The upper pic is using only 1 amp total.
The lower one is using 2.6 amps.

Did you try the Sandwich Shoppe? They seem to still have LuxIII SYOL for $16. I got 1, which seemed a little greenish to me at 350mA. And look in B/S/T and Group Buys sometimes.
