Well, had it all together and bench tested it as working but when used with a battery it shorted out and something is shorted to ground now. Not sure what but gonna have to take it apart to figure it out. Not sure when I will get time to do that.
It looked good during bench testing though, I think the LED’s are ok, just the driver if anything. I was using a driver out of my parts bin so not sure what the issue is.
Djozz, that’s exactly what I had in mind. Should be very nice with Carclo 10511 for example.
@Everyone, FYI, djozz tested the predecessor of the NCSL219B-V1 in a low CRI version, the NCSL219B. Compared to the XP-E2 R3 that’s a pretty impressive performance, if you ask me.
I would love for Nichia to really take a liking to our world, there are a few holes in the LED world that are waiting to be filled.
I would love to see a quad 219C die LED on a 5050 XM-L footprint with every possible effort put into heat sinking, no worries about how big or tall the LED is. Make it a domeless LED with only a thin coating of silicone to protect the die as well. Then put all the dies as close together as possible and wire them in parallel thus allowing us to run it off a single cell.
Done properly it should be capable of 2000+ lumens on a normal star and over 4000 lumens on a DTP copper star. It would cost more then normal but it would be WELLL worth the cost for flashlight guys.
A simpler emitter that would be great to see would simply be a domeless 219C optimized for throw.
Also putting the phosphor from the 219b 9080 onto a 219C die, The 219C handles the heat WAY better then the 219B so it would allow for more output when driven hard I assume.
I am Interested in 7-10 pieces of NCSL219B-V1 R9080.
But I am more interested in the “normal” NVSL219B-V1 R9080 or Better a 219C R9080.
If the NVSL would be aviable too, I would only take 3-5 of NCSL219B-V1 R9080.
I have a bad news. And I want to also clarify things about NVSL219B-V1 Ra9080 I told you earlier:
I called the Nichia rep this morning for our additional purchase of NCSL219B-V1 Ra9080. He then reminded me of our earlier discussions approx. a month ago.
It was the NCSx219B-V1 Ra9080 which is about to disappear from the market NOT the NVSx219B-V1 Ra9080
Sorry for this confusion
Good morning and have a productive day ahead (or a productive dream to those asleep already) ...
