Thanks, I will see about making a thread for the sphere in the coming weeks.
Yeah, I liked this setup, it was how I had it setup in Excel and figured a screen shot of the whole thing could work well.
I am thinking about adding some more numbers that will extrapolate the readings out for higher/lower bins based on the data sheet specs of 7% per bin. Anyone seen an example where this doesn’t hold true in the real world?
Look at the bright side, we now have a nice test to show what they can do!
Thanks, I am very impressed with the output, hope to build a light with the other one to see how the beam looks later.
Yeah, if people keep asking I will just have to get off my butt and do it. I didn’t think there would be a lot of interest with so many threads already floating around on how to make a sphere.
Hmm, have you clicked the impages to view them full size? You might have to click them again after they come up full screen to zoom in all the way depending on your screen size. On my screen anyways the numbers are readable if zoomed into full size.
I can try to make them a bit larger if needed though.
Indeed they are! Now to find some 90+ CRI versions or even some higher bin versions, ~2500 lumens should be possible with a W2 bin.
Thanks, I figured it would not hurt to toss those in since they are just a matter of simple math.
Liquid cooling in the classic computer sense is mostly about space savings then actual cooling ability. I for example have always used air cooled setups in my overclocked computers and while it can be very hard to fit the heat sinks the final temps are only slightly higher then those using water cooling with the same setups.
Same with a turbo cars intercooler. after the system is heat soaks all the matters is how fast it can transfer heat to the ambient air. This is determined but surface area and ambient temperature more then anything else. In most cases the air cooler actually has the advantage in surface area (unless using a massive waterblock) and this makes up for some of being inside the computer where the ambient temps are higher.
lol, well if people really want to see it then I guess the people must be appeased. I will see if I can find the time in the next few weeks.
