Help sourcing Bridgelux 6500k strips

What's up RIU fam, I need help finding 6500k Bridgelux EB Gen 3 strips. According to their data sheet, it says they are available, but I cant find them on any distributor website (ie digikey, arrow, etc.). Would be interested in F strips as well, but doesn't look like they go above 5000k.


Bridgelux data sheet: https://www.bridgelux.com/sites/default/files/resource_media/DS134 Bridgelux EB Series Gen3 High Output Data Sheet 20200612 Rev A.pdf

Enter the actual part number from the data sheet into, the Octopart search engine.

No results on that one either.

think i saw some 5700k at future electronics, enter BXEB in their search.
but seems their stock is low and they also not restock some.

have you grown with high color temp led before? it doesn't seem to have the same benefits as high ct flouros.

i'd veg with 6400k t5s or 4000k leds super dim.

I know led-tech.de do some strips using the Samsung LM301B chips with 6500k 80 & 6500k 90 cri options

Hmm, you may be right, I actually never have. I guess this is the reason LED fixture companies don't make their strictly veg lights in 6000+k spectrum. Most from what I've seen are around 4-5k.

These worth the money? Or should I just go with 5k Samsung F strips and call it a day.
