TN42 should be doing 750-800.
I would recommend investing in a real luxmeter.
NO 750Kcd to 800Kcd is much much too high for a non mod TN42.
Where did you get that from? Highest number I’ve seen is 728… The rest hover around 700.

You’re right, my bad, it’s 700-750.
I see 720Kcd from my TN42.

Any suggestions?
Read above, but the LX1330B is the best budget luxmeter.
OK,I’ve got it right now from Amazon.de .

I would get the “real” LX1330B (Dr. Meter brand ) , but shipping + import fees is 29$ extra !

Why do you say the others aren’t real.
Do you have a reason to believe they are different?

Dr. Meter released the LX1330B , and later the other no-name LX1330B appeared . I don’t know if the internal components and it’s calibration are the same or not .

The one that TLF tested and found good was actually no-name:
Hallo zusammen,

The first test of the XHP70.2 driver for the GT went well tonight. We just need to figure out how to bypass the carrier button top springs.
Some tweaking is needed but at least it works. More will come as I have time.

Maybe awg 22-24 outside the spring will fit under the brass button , haven’t tried it .

For a DIY setup there are a few possible options but they are not simple. I am trying to find a more consistent option that is simpler.
Worst case this is what we might have to do.
I have the worst case situation setup in the GT right now with the ultra low Vf 80cri 4000k emitter. I am going to do some testing and see what the limits of the system are. I am worried that it could overdrive the emitter as it maxes out lower then P2 bin emitters.
