Thanks @SKV89, we’re just calibrating our light box/tube at once. I used Djozz’s calibrated S2 for my light box reading which is actually about 7-8% higher than Maukka’s number. Enjoy the lights and I will send you the rest of the missing items. That was a super busy and hectic time for me, sorry about that.
Yep I got the Virence.com discount applied for larger purchases I wanted a set for comparison purposes.
I think Clemence used the 120deg. These were painted white for max ouput.
I like 2500k to 3000k for night time bedside EDC. Good for use as ambient lighting while watching TV in bed too. I’ll be alternating the 2500k and 3000k Tiaras for this purpose to see which one I like best.
I like 4000k to 5000k for day time work use. My favorite tint so far is the 219B 4500k 9080 on the ROT66. A huge flood of gorgeous neutral white HI CRI beam. Great for picture taking.
Your lumen measurements are very reasonable. 7-8% higher is very reasonable considering manufacturers ratings are easily 30+ % higher. No problem and no rush with the few missing items and thanks for including bonus gifts! That was a difficult order with so many different emitter configurations. Thanks for you hard work!
I’m thinking for my next light to use the 4500K E21A, but now you have me thinking about a 3000K as well!
Are the moonlight modes still moonlight with the painted white optics?
Regarding E21A emitters, approx. 2 months ago a shortage of some CCTs was announced by Nichia, because of issues with mass production.
Clemence, does this shortage still persist, or we might expect a restock in some time? I just asking this, because I just started to pick items for a new order, and I wonder, if it does worth to wait a few more weeks, or it would be better to proceed with my current order. (I would be interested in 3000K E21A - but would be happy to buy other CCTs not currently stocked as well, e.g. 2700K, 3500K or 5700K)
Any R9080 and above Nichias always have some shortage problem. Those are the least demanded LEDs. Except for the Optisolis which has been a sudden boom in the last few months. Nichia is developing a full spectrum grow light LED with normal tint and CCT as Optisolis. These could be a breakthrough for 24 hours farming. No more crop inspection under funny purple lights. I’ll prepare some samples for Maukka if he is OK to test it for us.
I’m afraid I’m not going to order more Nichias for the next 2 months. Already invested in something else. But who knows if (miss) Santa Claus passes by one of these days.
I guess I know him :person_facepalming: .
He got those 3500K from somewhere else, not me. I have never interested in 219B series, so forgive my ignorance.
