Plus Philips has their a19's. 4 pack $35 10.5w. Their 18w par lights are pretty good. Not the same warranty as Cree. But 6 year warranty for Philips is still good.

Shit man, If I was there, I'd start giggling, too. He's made me think about lighting differently.

It was 5 am here when I posted that. I was up for 30 min then went back to sleep. I have to be up 4-4:30 am for work. So naturally I wake up at that time..

I don't know if this helps. I bought 5 new bulbs today and they were all "soft white" even though they are 2700k.

The Serials differ by one number. 1U100 were the 20700k "warm white's" and 2U100 are the 2700k "soft whites". [Fucking advertising gimmickry lolz]

Are these soft whites containing the X-be's??

Funny i bought the warm whites and now apparently 1 soft white last weekend. The person who bought my bulbs today, was told that the warm whites weren't even in the computer ANY more, a fawkin week later. Wth?


2U or not 2U? That is the question. They are virtually the same spec as the warm whites. But no CRI listed either?

Strip one of each and see if they're different. Tell store they got hot and exchange them for the one's you want. You can be our guinea pig! I've already returned several in my cree journey.

^They don't have any of the warm whites, period. They shipped em back, from what I can guess. It looks like soft whites from now in my area.

Yep, gonna try and pry the globe off, one is heating up as I type! Twist and pull.

225 @ 25-30 min. Careful pulling off. It should twist off with little force. Even you break diodes , you can still return it. You're looking for the XTs with 2700s...I think.

K.....got what you are saying.

I think that these might be different. For one thing, one bulb has a definite missing layer right on the top of the globe and you can see round shaped diode packages not square.

I keep thinking these have a chance of being xb-e's.

Oven is burning now. Hopefully it works.

30 minutes @ 235 and another 15 @ 225. Globe wouldn't budge.

I tried to find the thinnest glue line as well. I thought about scoring the seal a bit, but fuck it. I just got the globe dirty for nothing from the leather gloves, lol.

ah well, someone else can try...
