Status of other color (blue and blue green) parts from cree... Note from Mark Parrish
Hello Richard,
In regard to your message below, we are currently offering an XBright (XB290 series) chip in 460 ± 5 nm and 470 ±5 nm wavelengths. We are now beginning qualification work on the 505 and 527 nm parts of this configuration and the 395 and 405 nm UV versions will follow after that. My best guess today would be that a 505 nm XB290 chip will be available in the August-September timeframe and the 405 maybe a month or two later. There are no plans, at this time, to make a 416-420 part but a 490 nm emitter is something we have done before and an XB version would be possible given sufficient demand (probably several kk/quarter would be required).
Sincerely,
Mark A. Parrish
Corporate Accounts Manager

Lamina is a firm that makes a proprietary ceramic on metal head (similar to Norlux). Their basic part is a tiny SMD (about .2 inch square) that holds 7 high power die.
