Luminus SST-40, a N4 BA bin tested

[ImA4Wheelr]

I just looked at my emitters from the same Ali vendor. Almost every dome has bubbles. Here are some of them.

Yep. They are definitely selling seconds. When I messaged the seller they replied, “do not worry They are genuine sst-40.” So, I do think they are genuine. Very bright and very low vf! Good color as well. So, if dedoming or if you don’t mind the bubbles it’s a very good price for a very good emitter. We will have to wait for reports as to how they hold up over time though…

It would be interesting to get bin estimation….

Has anyone found a place to get these in a neutral tint yet?

I picked up a pair of these in 6500k from KD. Not sure why I did it, really hate anything below 5000k. Mounted one up and tested it, very bright but just can’t handle the tint. So, now they will sit for an eternity in my LED box. Maybe someday someone will ask for a mod with that tint… Would love to see these in 5000k - 4000k.

Why not just dedome them?

From what I have read, there is almost no tint shift. I may try one that way in a C8, just for giggles.

Just do it!

Got just shy of 160kcd in one of my C8s.

Just got my hands on some P2/ AA binned( kit 752)(VL voltage binned) emitters from those.

In a M2x host, they start at 8.5 amps with a VTC5 battery and they hold! over 2k lumens and the incledible 370k candlas folks with the lovely pinky 5500k tint( inder M2X default glass)
A default M2X compared to this looks like a joke, literaly

I just received five SST-40 from this seller on Aliexpress, they turned out to be the real deal. There is of course no specific information about tint/bin but with my unscientific testing they seem on par with the one I bought from KD.

There is also a bit of green in the lower modes just like the one from KD. The MCPCB’s is not very good but that didn’t come as a surprise. The price has gone up a bit I payed $1.69 a piece.

Price is going up folks, $1.69 when I ordered first time and now they are $2.09.

[Mitko]

2$……Arrow ones i payed 5.78 euros each , before VAT

Yet they aitn greenish at all, (when dded), more or less something like 2A bin( not realy but close)

I havent tested non dedomed version so far :)(

[mattlward]

[Agro]

Can’t find it on the arrow site. Mitko, could you share the link please?

Anyone else order from the other not so great aliexpress seller? They are still selling at $1.60pcs but I’m worried I’ll get fakes.

[Newlumen]

Most people order sst40 from the kaidomain.

[mattlward]

The KD are real, unfortunately they are also 6500K. But, I had to try a couple.

My KD last ordered 10pcs, fail to dedome in gasoline and toluene.
Bond wire came off and stick into perfect dome.
