Osram Oslon Boost HX

Sanding down the centering ring is an option. A bit of trial and error may be involved, of course.

Cheers :-)

When in the business of changing leds in flashlights it is unavoidable to master the art of re-shaping centering rings :wink:

Looks like they listened to us! A bigger package improves the performance .

This will probably go in my big thrower. I had been planning to use the LED Enderman mentioned, but this one will be even better.

And they introduced a neutral thermal pad! Now some praying for the Lumileds 4040 lay-out.

The other new Osram LEDs that Enderman mentioned already have that. That’s no surprise in this regard.

Multiples of 1000 you say? If it’s worth it, BLF can pull off that quantity easily in a group buy. It is rare to see that many bare emitters bought in a GB, but if this new one is as good as it might be, I don’t think 1000 or even 2000 pcs is a problem to reach.

They do this because the LEDs are not available yet. We just need to wait.

OK. I must have misunderstood. I thought Enderman was saying that the CSLNM1 are available, but only in qty 1000 or greater.

LoL!

Is this a 3v led? Being designed for the automotive industry that wouldn’t be my first guess. Why is “boost” in the name?

Yeah the CSLNM1 is available in 1000+ but there’s no point in doing a group buy for that one when this HX is almost certainly better in every way.
More lumens AND more intensity :slight_smile:

Lol fixed

It is, same as all their other automotive LEDs like the black flat and the others they make.

This LED will be THE LED for throwers. It’s alsmost perfect (integrated copper pcb would be perfect). No more 12V XHP-35 HI LEDs!

Here is the datasheet.

The brightness curve is very steep. It might even go up to 15-20A.

But unfortunately we will probably need new pcbs for it.

Yeah, I was remarking that if they do the same with this HX, it would be worth doing a GB in order to get them, instead of waiting until smaller qty orders are available.

I would certainly be down for that :slight_smile:

  • Brightness @ 6A: 1320 - 2010lm
  • Luminance @ 6A: 220 - 335cd/mm^2
  • Vf @ 6A: typ. 3.35V
  • official maximum current: 6.6A

The waiting for this is gonna kill me .

This looks very nice. Was planning a flat black in my D1s, but now I will wait for this.

I couldn’t get the datasheet to open. Is the range you have there from different bins? Low forward voltage too, making it possibly a good match for direct-drive multi-emitter high output throwers.

Yes, it’s the entire range of all the brighness bins. The amazing thing is that you can still overdrive it…

Supposedly it's already in full production.

Seeing the datasheet, it indeed appears to be the best LED out there. :slight_smile:
