[GB ended, news update only] Last batch of 219B sw45k R9080 and sw40 R9080

OK, this is the first glitch :expressionless: . Hope this is the last one as well.
Ignore my PM. You keep it and I’ll send your order tomorrow.

- Clemence

As you wish. Anyway, I sent you photos on PM as proof :slight_smile:

Hm… will receive my parcel in a week I think. Looked for the Chatika’s order, that’s really a lot for me.

Your packet re-shipped. Should arrived in 3-4 days

- Clemence

I dont see any message from you with tracking #. Not sure if I accidentally deleted or just never got??

Can you send info please.

Guys, looks like Chatika Vas Paus needs help on advice to get his stuff from the custom in Poland. Any help from Poland BLF member will be greatly appreciated. Please PM him.

Many thanks,
Clemence

Not sure about Poland but if they behave like other customs in Europe he will need a proper invoice from you so they can calculate the customs fee.

The situation is just a bit complicated (at least for me). The point is that Clemence has issued an invoice for me to a lower amount than the one that is on the payment confirmation with Paypal (yes, I must also send a payment info from PP). Should I just send them, or what?

Just send or take both. Let them decide what to use.
You did nothing wrong, not your fault that the amounts don’t match so just play innocent ignorance and all is well.
Might have to play a little higher tax but still should get your stuff.

I think so to. You have the $51 real invoice vs the $46 they asked (although I wrote it $50)

Some R9080 goodies arrived on Friday, and today one of my Emisar D4s got loaded with rosiness. :heart_eyes:

Here’s a comparison with an early D4 with 219C 5000K 80+ CRI emitters. Click photos to embiggen:


Here’s a comparison .gif:

Both tints are pleasant, and I get accustomed to either one after a few minutes. Only when compared to each other in person are the differences very obvious. I prefer the 219B.

The photos were taken with a custom white balance for each tint, so they look nearly identical to the camera. I think the reds get redder with the 219B, as expected.

I put a 219B 4500K R9080 in my AA-powered Zebralight H51w about a year ago, so I’m used to seeing only about 150 lumens of this tint. :partying_face: This rosy D4 will be the perfect companion to the rosy headlamp when hiking.

Thanks again for all your hard work, Clemence! :+1:

EDIT: Photos updated due to white balance issues.

Thanks for posting the comparison. Tint looks really good.

I’m afraid to risk the ones I have coming in on a FET light; I plan to put one in a AAA light and hold onto the rest until I’m ready to do a triple; probably either series boost or just plain linear.

I’m a bit nervous too, but I’m running ToyKeeper’s Andúril UI with the ‘ramp ceiling’ set to a reasonable level.

I’ve bumped it up to turbo a few times just for a moment though. No smoke yet… :smiley:

Received. This time it’s all right :+1:

That’s quite fast. I haven’t received my order yet.

Woohoo! Got mine…

Scared the crap outta me for a while. Got as far as ISC San Francisco and then the SF Dist Ctr, “transfer to next facility” on the 23rd/24th/25th, then… nothing. Vanished into the æther. Not a peep from then ’til just yesterday.

I gave the USPS a “where’s my package?” holler, and either that jiggled something loose or it was just coincidence, but that same day I finally get a notice that it’s at the local PO, then next morning out for delivery, then delivered. Whew!

Still quite odd, because usually it makes stops at various distribution centers (Stamford, Brooklyn, Queens) along the way, but nothing. Bypassed all those intermediary stops? Odd.

Anyway, now I can breathe…

Still don’t have mine, and no notice of shipping, etc. Looks like it has been almost a month since the post saying that they’ve shipped. Worried :frowning:

I’m currently out of the office. I can only access online informations. But I just noticed that your usual address is different from the last one. I sent it to your Eden Prairie address while your address from the last payment was in Edina. Please check if it received in Eden Prairie.
EDIT: the shipment address was correct (Edina)

Mine arrived yesterday in Germany.

Thank you Clemence!

The packing is also awesome.
