Added! The die of the LG is slightly bigger than the Nichia 276A, but the higher drive current and output of the LG should more than compensate for that.
About the quality, I think the LG on a DTP board is a much tougher led than the 276A (that has a 2-pad design that can not be mounted on a common DTP XP-board). The only quality aspect that the Nichia has over the LG is very low visible stray light, but with the use of a ZWB2 filter that quality is not relevant.
Btw, the SeoelViosys led from Kaidomain has a smaller die than the LG and should throw a bit better than the LG.
LOL, we are talking throw in 365nm UV-leds, how about putting one in the GT, spotting scorpions on the other side of town :party:
Almost missed seeing this Jos! I need one for my copper X6 and Nichia NVSU333A emitter, it’s 35mm but I can grind it down if need be. Hope there’s still a spot on the list…
Done!
Grinding off 3.5mm is a tough job, and make sure not to breathe the dust (yes I know how glass dust tastes in my nose and throat :person_facepalming: )
I’m just building a light around your filter… :sunglasses:
For long I thought about toying with an UV light but never did. The idea of blocking the straylight just put me over the edge. Now I ordered a Sofirn C8F host and 3 emitter (went with the Seoul Viosys after your great UV-LED test).
Funds are standing by, just gimme the word.
Ok, so I have put $230 in getting 20 of these made and guess what? Kaidomain comes up with a series of different sizes ZWB2 filters, among which a 42mm one. Great news but very bad timing for my group buy, it would have saved me big time if they had listed them two weeks earlier (in money and effort).
A slight difference is that KD’s filter is 1.5mm thick, as opposed to 2mm for mine.
I can understand if people want to back out on this group buy and buy the easier and cheaper one from KD, if so please let me know.
Know offhand if the C8 glass is 1.5mm or 2.0mm? I’d rather not have the front glass rattling around…
I’m in absolutely no hurry to do anything with them (seriously, not for a month or more), so if anyone else wants in, or wants them in a hurry, he/she/it can take my place, else I’ll be happy to just sit tight.
9bux vs 14bux, I’m not exactly gonna have to eat ramen for a month…
