I finally got my post-recall strip of LXML-PWC1-0100 (brightest
cool-white Rebel) from Future Electronics and got back to work on my
mega-flashlight. I've had 7 LEDs fail in a project that uses 21. It's
just like before the recall - everything passes tests then defects
develop a day or two later. It's NOT fun removing surface mounts after
the board is glued to a heatsink, and it's not fun throwing out $7 LEDs.
Are these LEDs still having problems?

I built a prototype using LXML-PWN1-0080 and had no problems at all.
