Active again: Nichia 219CT 4000K R9050 high CRI LED (and some trits)

They are awesome in a triple, but they pull 11.55 amps in my triple with a good battery! They get very hot and they get there very quickly. This is the best Nichia tint I have seen yet. I think Rey told me they are D260 SW405 emitters.

I will take more of these… pm inbound!

Interesting you get such low current. I generally get 16-20 amps out of a triple 219C. Are you using thin wires? What driver?

Interested in what you mean by ‘best tint’?
Do these 4000K have more red in tint than other 4000K you’ve used?
Have you also tried Clemence’s 4000K 219C?

I’m trying to find some with the most red in the tint.

Thanks!

Hey Ace, was over 16 to start with in a Ti host… removed bypasses and dropped to 20 gauge to control current and heat! Mountain 17DDm new driver with bistro. 11.5 seems fairly friendly in that light. Do not want to cook it!

They lean to red, but are more of a muted reddish tint. I have maybe 2 dozen lights with various 219’s and this is the best!

Thanks mattlward!
I like the Nichia 4000K and as of now have only experienced the one’s from Illumn, the 219B V1 4000K in D200 bin.
It is a nice tint but I would like to get something that is a little more rosier.

I ordered some 4000K 219C from Clemence, but might have to try some of these out too!

Nichia do vary some, their tint chart can be found and the 405 is not a real tight binning. I think you will like them, the are nice. My original blf a01 has my favorite tint, but I think the reflector plays some part in the tint. I have not been able to duplicate it, very rosey.

Forgot to add, at high drive current the tint is so pure on these unlike Cree

On the lowest level, I can see all LED’s illuminated, so the bin is within spec for a 4ma level (in series IIRC). As the 4000K is available in higher luminance bins, it will be utilized more… I am so impressed with the tint and color that I would do my whole house lighting in this if it were available and I could afford it!

DJOZZ, I will get a bezel off picture posted later…

Yes, sure I can send you two. pls pm me your shipping address.


Here is a picture comparison of my 3000K XPL HI vs the 4000K 219C 9050’s from Rey on the 4ma (lowest) output… The 4000K have very little visible variance to my eye.

3000K on the left in both pics.

Thanks ReManG. No, that looks nice, better than what I would expect from 5-step McAdam leds. Perhaps Nichia has their production so well under control that the majority of leds fall close to the center of tint bin regardless in which category they will be put later.

No problem, I think most of the lack of variance is Nichia, but also that Rey buys them from the same reel for each batch. I would imagine a half dozen from several different places in the reel across a few reels all together like this would show more variance.

I’m sorry Rey that it has taken this long to get back to you about those Pineapple reflectors and lots more,
Really would like to speak with you about a post I saw somewhere in Nov 2016 I think, but can’t find it now, had to do with the Ti X6 extra left over parts, like when the knurling went bad, so what I read is that there was battery tubes with no knurling and heads I think without trit slots and a email to get a hold of a lady I think it was,
I am still sitting on my Ti X6 and wanted to get some of these parts also if possible, want to try what Dale did with flaming but want to practice on extra parts, also looking for about 4 of the old drivers from your ReyLight copper Lumintop back in January 16, if you still have those around it would be really great, and if possible about 10 of the 219CT’s here, and if I am not to late I will pay you for two reflectors for the Pineapple, might be way to late, had family issue and well a mess.
Does the current Pineapples at BG have the old reflector or new, or do you happen to know?
How do you think these Nichia’s would look in your Ti X6? …
That extra Ti parts post I read, it was about Nov. of 2016, it was not a normal thread like this page, I just can’t find it now, I’m sure there was an PP or email address for I’m thinking some lady Vivian…??
Does that name sound familiar.?
Might help if I ask if these Nichia’s are even still for sale?
Thank You Rey,
I sure do wish you’d do another ReyLight Copper Lumintop, with a new driver and these LEDs…!
That would be awesome, but must have ReyLight on them again, your getting way to famous now… and it was February of 2016 when you did the last ones.
Gary
Parts needed for,



Hi Gary,

Thanks. Sorry all Ti X6 were gone. Vivian was my colleague. Ledil Cute-3-SS might be too big for 219 Leds?
Pls PM me your shipping address, will ship you the reflectors, it’s free. If you need a tracking, you can pay 1.5$.
I had that thought about another run of copper AAA, but never made up my mind.

Regards
Rey

LED all gone.

Any timing for another reel?

Maybe higher output bin R9050 is available now… :disguised_face:

Hi Rey,
Sorry for not replying quicker than this, geez, what a day, well if anything I am always late so being no parts for the TiX6 is not much a surprise but I am surprised that I remembered your colleagues name, incredible if you knew me better Rey,
And I will get some money off to you quick for those reflectors, most likely in the morning, I need to buy a new computer, I got to type fast or it might just up and crook/die on me.
So yes, a new driver in a new AAA copper for Febuary, 2.2.2017 edition… ha ha, Banggood would sell a million of them for you, but you got to put ReyLight on the light like last time and besides a new driver maybe this or similar LED, this was a great one here, just loved the tint,
Thanks Rey take care…
