[SALE] High CRI 90+ Nichias (ENDED)

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.

@clemence

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.

I use 5600K with all my beamshots, no matter what CCT the flashlights are. It’s the closest white balance to the reality (in case with my Olympus OM-D EM5). Just to get same baseline.
Frozen apples….you can kill cats with that.

The postman has been,and left me 10 Nichias and 5 boards :blush: Thanks again Joz and the team.

If you set the white balance (reference) to a lower K, I would expect a cooler picture?

I wonder about the big difference in tint between the Cute-3-M and the warmer Cute-3-SS. But imo They are both nice tints.

Yes, you’re correct. The WB in the first shot is set around 3400K.

You mean, you see a big difference in tint between the last two shots? Or is it something you found when playing with these lenses? I haven’t recognized a big difference in tint between the two. Note that these are two lights, I haven’t changed optics on the go. Cheers
