    Hello. I'm planning to order about 6-8 pices of XM-L cool white. Just want to make sure they really true cool white with no yellow shade. Did you check them on color? I have a problem with the leds now U2 series, so they need to be replaced

    There's quite a large range in color temperature on the cool whites so there is the possibility that the LEDs will lean towards the "neutral" white spectrum. Unfortunately it's not possible to hand pick bins (unless they happen to have one in stock that we like), but typically the XM-L's are around ~6,000-6,500K on the cool white.

    Ok this is understandable but how was it before t5 or t6 series? Compared to the new ones is absolutely cool white. Do you still have the t5 or t6 cool white in stock?

    Unfortunately we don't, we usually try to upgrade our ordering whenever CREE comes out with newer bins (which seems to be quite frequently).
