has anyone heard anything new about what they are coming out with??? all I know is what GM5 said on his last video... 50-52v range.... I want to know if they still adding 660/730 to them... or if they are going to be just whites? LG. you been in touch with them???

dude ive not seen anything, and i been watching all the streams, both their instagram feeds ect ect. cant wait to see whats going on. I still plan on running at least one light with their stuff so I can compare cobs/chilled/ and cmh

I'm just trying to figure out which boards with extra color to add... I hope they keep the blue and red added with the white. even if the new stuff is all white I might go version one boards..

I like photons boards but he still hasn't replied to any emails yet.. which is kind of turning me off from buying from him.... what's the point of having a contact us on the site if you don't even check/reply to it... I don't do IG so I can't contact him thru there either.

I’m gonna shoot him an email and try and squeeze some info out. I want to know too!

I have a few of their new boards. They have Samsung Lm561C diodes two channels one channel cree royal blue one channel uv ir deep red for a total of four channels. Average channel Vf 46v.

Sounds like you're referring to their "current" model though, no? The ones they took down from the store recently?

I've emailed and DM on IG to photon phantom with no reply its been like a month.. I won't buy from dude for sure.

You are correct.
I was looking at the new Samsung LM301B diode. I was designing a new 200w board two channels but decided to halt.
After discussing with my manufacturer, I decided against the move right now.
Reasons cost and availability.
I normally pay $150 for a reel of 2500 diodes. The LM301B cost $320 for 4000 diode reel, for a 33% increase in cost. This year Samsung is only releasing the 5000k and 3000k next year.
Samsung is also slowing production of the LM561C 3000k and raising prices on those as well.
There is another diode out but I have no insight on that one.
I am waiting to see what comes next too. I love ChilLed gen1 and gen2 light engines. Looking forward to gen3 perhaps.

Interesting...

right.. I was watching on the tenth and see that but nothing to click on!!!! I want a know dimensions.. what covers etc etc.. I wonder if they will keep the same set up on the heat sink... Vitaly said something about just swapping out new boards on same heat sink and go... that was back on the GM5 live stream.
