[PhotonWrangler]

I'm interested in obtaining a few of these if there are any left after meeting your previous committments.

How does that compare with the Cree Q5? I don't know it's mcd measurements, only that it goes up to 225 lumens.

I measured an intensity of 89,500mcd from the single LED in my Arc-AAA-P DS. It uses a Nichia NSPW500DS LED.
The older Arc-AAA-LE (later called the PE) from early-June 2003 measured 20,800mcd.
So the Nichia DS white LED is definitely very bright.

I have ordered a hundred of these. When they get here, I will keep around 30 and sell the rest in lots of 10 or 20 so more people can get a chance to get some. I will post a link in this thread to a thread in the marketplace after I get them (remember that it's a busy mail season). First dibs will be given to those who have already expressed interest.

"My same here" means I want 10.

Thanks for doing this.:thumbsup:

Here's a store in Germany that claims to have GS available at 1.79 euro (a little over 2 usd) per led:

These folks in Australia offer the DS for 1.50 AUD (about 1.30 USD):

No idea what the international shipping situation would be with either of those stores. I found them by googling. Main conclusion is that these leds while still scarce are starting to show up. They will probably be at store.nichia.com before all that long.

This is the LED tech area. Lets keep sales and interest threads in the appropriate areas.


Thank you
