[SALE] High CRI 90+ Nichias (ENDED)

Hi Guys,

I never thought that November - January would be that busy at the other side of the world. I live in an island with relative constant activities but one day (Nyepi Day). I decided to make 2 weeks collection-delivery time based solely on my experience as a buyer. I didn’t want to make people wait for too long. Direct shipping cost from Indonesia to the outside world is crazy expensive. For example I paid USD30 from Indonesia to Finland when I sent Maukka the samples (with tracking number). Non tracking would be USD 23. And that was the cheapest courier available (EMS)

If you guys don’t have any problem I will extend the first delivery up to late December due to several reasons:

- We won’t have Djozz for EU distribution for the 2nd and up deliveries.

  • There are still sm453 144A and 319A (hex die) samples left in Japan with scheduled delivery at December 21st.

So, until I find someone for EU and nearby to help with the distribution, there will be expensive direct shipment.
Please tell me your suggestion(s).

Many thanks and may the Photons be with us,
Clemence

We are sorry for this possible last minute change of plans everyone.

With the shipping prices being higher then expected and scheduling concerns doing several shorter group buys is less practical then we first thought.

Next time the prices could go up depending on how things turn out once all is said and done this time around.

So by extending this one we hope to maintain the low price point and allow more people to take advantage of it.

So we want to hear from you, are you ok with extending the group buy (and thus shipping date for the emitters)?

Is the end of December good or would you prefer a different ending date? Let us know what you would like to see done.

Yes, it should work fin in anyplace that an XP LED would work as it uses the same star. Lumen wise it will be a lot more then the 219B, exact lumen wise it depends on how hard you drive it but 800-1200 lumens is pretty reasonable on high.

Added to the list.

I will send out payment instructions to everyone as soon as I have some spare time. We have been having some discussions behind the scene and we are thinking about extending the end date instead of doing another GB so soon after this one due to shipping costs being higher then expected and schedules. See the post above.

Added to the list!

The later delivery date delays my plans, but of course I can be accommodating.

Hello djozz,

I’m in for 4 pcs of Nichia 219C 90cri 4000k.

Sent you PM also and awaiting info on the payment details.

Thanks

I have seen the PM :slight_smile: will answer and update the list tonight. We are in a discussion right now when to end the sales for this round (1 week for taking requests seemed a bit short to us), and if the period is extended that will also affect the latest payment date.

Yeah, mine too lol. I was wanting to build some Christmas gifts with the LED’s but empty hosts with an IOU an LED is basically the same right?

I can go with whatever everyone else wants.

thanks, 800-1200 lumens on 1 LED?
im looking to build the P60 with just one LED - Mule.
thanks

Yes, based on this test by djozz: Nichia 219C, testing a 5000K 83CRI emitter, comparing with a XP-G2 S4 2B and other leds

I would say 800-1000 is well within reason if driven hard since this emitter is high CRI and a bit lower flux bin. Less if driven less naturally.

Can you please add 5x 4000K 219C for me?

I’m not in a hurry so I’m okay with an extended end date.

The extension is totally fine by me.
Big thanks to you three for making this even happen!

Do the 319A LEDs also have 453-Tint?

I would have prefered earlier shipping, but I understand the reasons for the delay.
Thanks for doing this.

Thank you for the understanding, really sorry about it.
Yes the 319A should be available in sm453. But don’t expect the Ra90 or Ra9050 anytime soon. There will be limited samples as usual. I can’t promise you guys I’ll get it though.

Hi
I finally registered so i could get me some of those incandescent-like 219C’s.
I’d like 14 of the 219C 9050 sm305.

Cheers

Welcome to the BLF unique boring guy :beer:

PM Djozz for your order

NOTE: Make it 15 and you’ll get the whole last 219C 305. Djozz isn’t online yet. I’ll update the inventory stock in #1 page for you

Thanks

I sent a PM before i saw the note but why not, I have no doubt I’ll find a use for it; I’ve sent another PM. I don’t ‘need’ it the same way as the others though so if someone was hoping to add a single one to their order or something I can easily be persuaded to give it up.

The delay is quite understandable (though I wish it were otherwise) so late December is fine. Thanks for the heads up!
