Is this model being discontinued to promote the LED line? Any validity to this?

I work for an independent dealer in S.W Florida, and carry the 850 still although it has been on clerance for quite a while. MY DEALER COST is $1950 on this set (which was a mutiple truck load purchase). If you see it for $2100 It is a great deal if it is in a box.

No, not to replace. When LED fails complete swap during warranty, afterwards go live with it. LEDs on the Ks seem to fail quite often.

Fascinations used to make another version of this called "Colors of Life" that had lights that cycled through different colors. I have one myself. I have no idea why they seemed to have discontinued making those.

I was going to put it in but held off when I made a trip to bowling Green. I've too have heard about cruise not working but will find out shortly when I put it in and experiment. It would be a lot cleaner on wire leading to turn signals not having resistors for my switchbacks. I have been selling led lights to several forums and locally to many people for about 3 years. I am one of maybe 2 in the US to carry the new Cree/driver headlights and can't keep them in stock they sell so fast. I am DFWWIZ on TBSSowners and GMTNation forums.

I noticed the same thing. I don't think they are making them anymore and everyone is out of stock . The new LHB975 won't be out until May sometime. And may be until mid summer when you can get one. So it appears those vendors with this list $599 product jacked up the prices. Yesterday there were a couple refirb units and one used on Amazon for around $500. Today there were none. I just happened to look tonight late and a used unit came up for $518 shipped. Amazon Warehouse who guarantees it to work. So I snapped it up as I am ready to convert over and if the 975 is that much better can use it in my bedroom and get one of those. Very strange indeed. The used unit won't be available until Mar 20 so I'll keep looking and maybe things will open up again. Guess lots of others will too. Good luck or it might be awhile before we see something with this capability.

I agree. in the store the LED versions were not as crisp/bright and the colors were goofy. This was the same in 2 Best Buy stores and Circuit City stores. I currently have the bulb model but am experiencing noise from the color wheel. This would not happen with the LED version. I called Samsung to see if they planned on releasing a new 56 in LED and the girl was clueless, yawned on the phone and was of no help. I emailed Samsung and no response. I am not very impressed with that co so far.

I have the same model (LED) and am coming up on having it 18 months. Hope I dont have the same problem. My son got the DLP (not LED) lamp model, 61" I believe, and has had no problems with his yet in the same time frame. I have noticed a picture "jitter" and rainbowing effect on some movies.

Looks like they discontinued 1R or they are hiding it from the website. . The new dark appears to be striped or split.. the old one is not.

Word is that it is no longer on the site because the new models are supposed to be released soon.I have been watching the price for a while too, and Amazon's is about the best at the moment, though you can watch Slickdeals.net forums for new deals.

I would certainly have to assume that the circuitry is not user serviceable, and any attempt to change the LED would void the Duracell warranty.

It is my understanding that they discontinued the halogen and went totally with the LED. Maglite offered both for a while. The picture is of a halogen light but they probably just changed the main description to LED without updating the rest. If you order it I would expect a LED.

Great. Thank you! Did you get a chance to ask them why L32D1120 is now shown on their website? It's weird.

The selling company deems that the LEDs are not replaceable at the user level. Contact Lithonia for warranty.

I just bought and returned mine. I got a 350 dollar ticket here in the US with it operating! I wouldn't trust this "new" model ANYWHERE. People may lie the new look or fancy lights, but until you have actually SEEN it protect you, or fail, it is all speculation. It failed.

No, that one is the K95 MX RGB. It's scheduled for release in August (subject to change without notice). This model is white LEDs.

I had Best Buy replace my LED with a Plasma. They were unfamiliar with the problem. Sort of surprising. But they were very nice about replacing.

I guess there's a reason it's been discontinued. Mine gave up the ghost long ago, after a year or so of use.
