In for two

Now your talking. I would gladly pay an extra $10 for the nichia. If this ends up with a green tint mine is just going to be a paperweight.

Sure wouldn’t want to overload our resident Genius but how neat would it be if this light used 3 carefully selected tints to emit a near perfect output? With the proper optic to blend them, of course… is this doable with the XPL HI emitter? (optic is, of course, meant the mixing of tints for a high CRI 5000K output)

Hello everyone, IF the list is still open, i’m in for one. Thanks

Interested too !

Please add me to the list.

I have built lights like this… I really like how they turn out…

+1 from me

Nichia option is also a good idea. :wink:

Which XPL HI and optic do you think could accomplish this? It’s hard to even find 3 different XP-L HI leds as choices from vendors or manufacturers. I would totally consider this but not even sure it could be sourced easily to mod.

I like how my tint-mixed quads turned out. I haven’t gotten a triple to look quite right though.

It should be doable with XP-L HI and a frostic optic, but it’d probably be easier with three high-CRI Nichia 219c emitters instead, since they’re less tinted to begin with. Perhaps 4000K, 4500K, and 5000K. Together they should look pretty good, but I haven’t tried it.

I’m not sure if 10511 is frosted enough to make the tint-mixed result look good. It might be necessary to use 10508 or 10509, but that’d make it a lot floodier. 10511 might be okay if we don’t mind having a few different colors of mild artifacts.

Please add me to the list for 1 light

Another guy late to the game…
Please add me for one piece, thanks.

Put me down for one, please.

I really need to remember to get in on these interest lists earlier.

I'd like to be added to the list. Thanks.

Nice :sunglasses: add me to the list for one please.
Thank you.

Ah, see, I wouldn’t have thought of the 3 Nichia’s, nice call! Would love to see that even if I have to weld em in there my own self. :smiley:

Might be totally off for this thread, but is there a way to run triple channel to the 3 tints so there could be some selected mixing? You know, dial it in? That’d be cool…

Not without some big changes to the hardware and firmware. It’d need a new driver, a new MCPCB, and a bunch of new code. It’d either sacrifice low-mode efficiency (and moon) by being a triple-FET design, or would sacrifice the high modes by being a 3x2x7135 design, or would need a bigger MCU and probably bigger driver to handle 6 channels instead of 3.

ad me to the very late list please :smiley:

Please add me to the list for one. Thanks!

Please add me to the list for two (2). Thanks!

one for me pls!
