I received my box yesterday. Nice lights for sure. Well built, nice tint and cri. These will definitely light a room beautifully. Playing with all kind of ideas now how to best use them. Thank you again Ronin42. Very generous of you to give these lights away. :)

One of the lights is slated for exploration to creat a flashlight. Began disassembly. Has an interesting looking LED that I have not identified. Has a Vf of about 30vdc when operating in the light. Has a good number of dies. Reminds me of the MT-G2 in that regard. The design should make it easy to put on copper and direct wire without traces. If I do that, I will need secure the leads so that they can not be pulled and damage the emitter.

Oooooh…

Yes, great idea! It reminds me of a Yuji COB engine but different board. I wonder who makes this LED? Does SORAA get involved at the phosphor level? A suitable boost regulator could drive this off a suitable power tool or lead-acid battery pretty easily.

Edit: although I’d have to be careful which power tool battery. One manufacturer of a 4AH dark-grey-and-orange battery containing 3S2P 20R cells didn’t see it necessary to include battery undervoltage cutoff in their BMS, ruined one that way:(…

To my lantern I’d probably add a second control channel (with buck regulator) that drove a (few) cheap Luxeon-I-knockoff 30,000K emitter(s) for when I’m out in the boonies and want to simulate being in an abandoned mansion lit by wan rays of moonlight spilling through the windows. But maybe that’s just me. (Even though moonlight is not even close to 30,000K!) Of course 30,000K at 90+ CRI would be even better!

Oh, I almost forgot. Of course there’d have to be a 3rd channel with 1900K 90+ CRI LEDs too!!!

Soraa is the MFG. Their claim to fame is a special GaN-on-GaN Thingy

Proprietary LED technology manufactured in California, a technological breakthrough that we further enhance by focusing on every aspect of producing the most natural light possible.

shameless bump

last shameless plug

36

Nobody else wants any? They crazy?

Damn, I’d get the adapters and use ’em in the edison-base lights above the sink…

37

What? No other takers? That doesn’t even make sense.

These are way better than the bargain basement ones, which is all you’re gonna get for the same amount of $, even including the adapters.

I’ll be swapping out my Edison bases cause these will suck the lamps up a little further into the fixture than with Edison-based bulbs, which is what I want.

My Wife is in the semi-conductor business, first with Applied Materials, now with a graphite company. When I un-boxed these Soraa bulbs, she looked at one and said, “I know that company, they are one of my customers”. Cree is one of her customers as well, but with Soraa it’s the GaN on GaN technology she’s involved with.

Now, if we can get this technology for flashlights, might be quite something.

I received my lamps and they work beautifully!! I really like that Soraa use a violet pump instead of the usual royal blue! These lamps are not afraid to render the deeper red colors with intensity and the scene looks rich and satisfying for it.
