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.
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.
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.
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 .
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 .

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.
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?
haha, those are apples. Probably not yummy anymore. Shot in RAW, if I set the white balance to 4000K this shot looks a bit too warm, to my eyes, on my screen. I agree the difference in a these shots isn’t that obvious as it is to my eyes, but I think even in these pics the reds look much better and realer with the Nichias.
