Replacing Cree XP-E Royal Blue LEDs

Jaws · #1 03-22-2013, 04:47 AM

I have a few burnt out Cree XP-E Royal Blue LEDs that have burnt out and I need to replace them. It looks like the XP-E's have been replaced with XT-E Royal Blues which are 20% brighter. Should I be concerned about the difference in brightness if most of my LEDs are XP-E's? Thanks in advance.

Anyone? Bueller?

Is it on a DIY fixture? What else is on that channel?

Yes, DIY. I'd be replacing a burnt out 3W Cree XP-E Royal Blue LED on a string of 12 Royal Blues with one 3W Cree XT-E Royal Blue LED.

I can't visually tell the difference when I run mine at 70% or 90%. I wouldn't be that worried.
