You need to work on your intelligence. I asked you politely a couple pages back to post your LED, so I could see whether it was the old XT or new XB, and all you gave was smartass responses. So go F yourself.

you insulted me and I was correct too.
the x-be 5000k looks better. The x-te 2700k looks better

you asked what they look like. Then asked what the lights look like off. Anyone would take that as meaning turned off. Not the dome / globe removed. Again use your words correctly. We don't read minds.
lol are you serious? that's what I was telling YOU.
um, he already had his dome removed, and the LED was turned on so you couldn't see the diodes. Turning the light off would allow us to see the diodes and lenses. Sorry, I didn't expect I was talking to childish idiots, when I said turn it off I meant what I said, turn the light off and take a picture of the package.

I thought trolls proffered the dark. Your question was vague. What am I supposed to say to "what does a light bulb look like" Please leave this thread to the nice cool people.

no you said they all have x-be now. They don't have x-te anymore. You were half right. Are you Obama..?

regardless that's not what you asked. You need to be specific. Again we don't read minds.
Well seeing how I got the XT-E a month ago, and now all my bulbs are coming up XB-E, that tells me they're phasing out the old stock and moving to XB, probably to cut costs as the XT-E looks like a better LED IMO.

Hey Bond...can you tell me what model this is?
that's the new XB-E, better for 5000k, and if it's a 2700k bulb it's worse than the old one.

I asked that. I was told they are selling both. Generation 1 and generation 2 and there is no plans of discontinuing the older one. They probably sell more x-be's in areas that have utility rebates on them. The CEO of Cree is pushing for utility rebates everywhere. They received energy star ratings.
ok, I wouldn't have thought that cause it wouldn't make sense financially, but I'll take your word for it. I am in a utility subsidy area so you may be right about that. Which is why I'm making a huge cree setup, they're dirt cheap. Well anyways, I'll let this thread go back on topic. I was trying to stay on topic finding out the best use for these NEW generation bulbs, and got nowhere fast.

I tried for rebates and no go... Cri stipulations and other bullshit. They are still full price here.

Did a quick search on Cree diodes, drivers, heat sinks, etc. And the bulbs seem much cheaper. Did you disassemble the a19s Bond? If so do you think you could bend them forward? If you don't mind can you post parts link for a couple of these to place flat in corners.
I have to admit I'm concerned with flattening these out, seeing that the circuits are silk screened onto aluminum and so close to turning the whole heatsink into a hot circuit, especially over time as it heats up to high temps and cools down hundreds of times.

that may be why the a9 or a19 led's of other brands that have 180 degree output instead of omnidirectional can't handle the higher temps. Some of those can't handle higher than 85 F.

Is there a way to just attach a diode to the end of a19 where its flat.
