[SALE] High CRI 90+ Nichias (ENDED)

We are floating the idea of something like a limit of 5 9080 LED’s per person, per week of the group buy.

So for example someone can reserve 5 LED’s in the first week. If there are still LED’s available the second week the same person can reserve an additional 5 LED’s and so on for the planned 3 weeks of the group buy. Although I doubt they will last past the first week, much less the second.

We are still working out the details but I would like to hear what peoples opinion is on this option.

This is not my stuff, but BLF/CPF-ers usually take everything in 1, 3, 4, or 6 following carclo and ledil optics :wink:

Seeing as they will probably all be gone in the first week, I’d certainly not put the limit above 5. I might like two of them myself.

Yeah I tend to do 4 of most emitters because that allows me some flexibility - 4 individual lights, or a triple and a single, or a quad.

Either way, whatever number you all decide, I think its a very good idea to put some sort of limits in place and allowing those to “reset” on a regular interval makes perfect sense to me. Gives every one a chance.

Clemence you’re the man, you snagged the last of these from Nichia!

Limit of 5 is fair, I still hope I don’t miss out.

A limit of 5 seems fair. Id buy 5 or more.

Any recommendations for quality 50mm TIR optics (triple and quad) for my 4000K Nichias? Sorry to hijack this thread, this was probably the best place to ask without opening a new topic.

Try Ledil. I like Gaggione but they don’t make triple or quad optics.
For multi emitter optics you can try Ledlink, but the quality seems below Ledil.

I have a 50mm triple and quad optic I think I got from fasttech. I have not used it yet but I did stick it over an LED to see the beam profile. It was ok but nothing amazing IIRC. Although it was not properly focused.

Ledlink:

Maybe this one?

Yes. I trust Ledil. If it says for 219C then it must be as good as specced.

Thanks Clemence.
I’m planing a triple or quad build powered by 26650 and on top of everything it has to be EDC. I’m in my creative phase :slight_smile: .
Compared to convoy s2 reflector, how do you think these lens from ledil would perform? Better, worse, same (throw and flood wise)?
And finally, where can I buy these optics without braking the bank? Maybe someone from Finland could help :slight_smile: .

Pass on this….I’ve never mod any Convoy (a shame eh?)
But 219C seems OK with almost any optics, unlike the 144AM/AR

The 144A has arrived. :+1:

EDIT: Well, I have absolutely no idea why the images don’t show up for me.
EDIT2: Ok, now they should work. Did nothing different, just uploaded somewhere else.

can’t see the pics

Sorry, seemed to be a problem with imgur. Uploaded the same files to abload.de and it seems to work now.

Peaches? Looks yummy
The difference isn’t too great to my eyes. Did you set the white balance to manual/auto?
The sm403 looks whiter than it actually is. Or was it the snow?

I got my 144a leds yesterday… Can’t wait until the new mcpcbs are available in February.
