[GB ended,discussion only] CRI > 80+ NICHIA 2000K-6500K [E21A/219B/219C/319A/144A/757GT-F1(Optisolis)]

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.

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?

Enjoy your new lights!

Moonlight mode still appears sub 1 lumen.

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.

Sure thing!

Unusual CRI rank: Rsp0a
No data available to the public yet.

This is said to be almost similar to Optisolis but with some special spectrum tweaks for optimal plant growth.

[maukka]

Any chance you’d get those 219b sw35k r9080 ones?

[clemence]

Uhm, never know it exist in R9080. I thought only up to R9050

- Clemence

[maukka]

Some guy was selling it on FB and one new special edition HDS will be offered with it.

That sound nice! Never seen them, but I’d be in for that.

[clemence]

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.

- Clemence

[Jerommel]

Hmmm… 3500K 219B 9080 sounds delicious… :heart_eyes:

[SKV89]

According to LEDRISE, they can still get the NVSL219B-V1 9080 219B from 3000k all the way to 4500k from Nichia but their MOQ is “one full roll”.

What is that something else? Care to share or is it meant as a surprise for us??

Hint: you asked one of my surprises before. Don’t worry, I’ll give you a head start later.

Cant wait to see these in the story. Will have to try them if just to collect them all…

[Jerommel]

^ Must be using a UV pump, because grow lights are full spectrum, including UV and some (near) IR.
Efficiency for the visible part of the spectrum will probably suffer.

Clemence, any chance you’ll be selling the Noctigon 4XP 33mm in the near future? I really want a D4S in 4000k nichia but I don’t entirely trust my stovestop reflow skills for such a high power setup. I’ll do it if I have to but would rather pay to get it done properly.

I will slowly leave 3535 LED off my future projects. The easiest way is to order from Hank and send it to my address so I can solder it for you. But if you want to learn and experiment, it’s actually very easy to do. Rather than spending money to ship it to me

Leave 3535??? Oh no that’s bad news! I was hoping you would probably bring more surprises in the most common form factor. Maybe more “E” tint bin 219C for example.

[clemence]

Don’t worry, I’ll bring “another 3535” for you guys, soon. Fell in love with E21A and now E17A.
CSP LEDs freed you from the constraints normally we face with packaged LEDs
