Hey I just noticed the XM-L series there on your site. Are they much better? And are they still compatible with the same drivers (I'm using meanwell 60-48-D's)? Could you mix and match the old XP-G with them on the same driver? Thanks.

Well I blinded myself with a XP-G
the XM-L will burn my eyes, lol.

They are the new kid on the block. They XP-G can go up to 1.5A and the XM-L can do 3A

I believe the XM-L T6 is about 10-15% brighter at 1A than the XP-G

You can put them on the meanwell 60-48-D at full blast and they wont skip a beat, 1.3A is nothing for them. at 1.3A they only take up about 3.1v so you could get 15 in a series.

But if you are going to put them in the same series as the XP-G you want to turn down the amperage on the meanwell 60-48-D to about 1A so you dont over run the XP-G (that way they will last very long time)

But there is one problem, there are hardly any optics for them. So you have to hang it close to the surface on a shallow tank (14inches or so). Its because the T5 just came out the first of Jan and the T6 came out a week ago or so. You should see some optics in the next month or two. im hot on the optics trail.

They will be replacing the XP-G but without the optics, I would still probably buy XP-G.... unless I had a shallow tank.

Could you put me down for 4 of the xm-l on the next order? I don't plan on using optics anyway. I tried doing it on the website but it gave me the absurd shipping cost of over $30!

nlreefguy, they actually ship out of USA now so its getting expensive.
I can ship it first class mail for you (option is back on website) but there is no tracking information which sucks.

If you want, the first class mail is back up on the site for today but im going to take it back down because I just feel weird about not having tracking information.

I just put in my order on your website.

But $30 shipping for 4 LED's? Kind of negates the savings you'd get from the group buy altogether. I just had a large heatsink shipped to me with some other things from another LED retailer and the shipping for ALL of it came to less than that, and that's a large heavy heat sink measuring 24" in length.

I'm not trying to be a a**hole but the shipping might start turning away some of your potential customers. Or maybe I'm totally out of my mind and the other guys just gave me the wrong shipping price or something....

Nice, i just saw you got the T6s. You gota flaunt those around and get them in a build thread with some pics as soon as you get them. I think there is only a hand full of people that have the T6s and even less in Canada.

ya shipping sucks. USPS has flat rate boxes that allow me to stuff as much as I can in the box not worrying about weight. So 4 LEDs is same as bricks.

im trying to find ways to make the shipping cheaper but still cover everyones butt.
