I used the ‘default’ for that host (LC15). It seems to be working fine, and I like the mode spacing as well ( Very Low /more than moonlight, though/, Mid, Mid-High, High).
On High, I can see, that the emitters switch to about ~250K cooler CCT based on my guess, compared to the Mid-High setting.
Probably I could use a driver with 4A max current instead of 3A, but then I guess, tint would be changed more.
Tint now is surprisingly almost perfect neutral with greens feeling a bit undersaturated, but color differences are rendered very exactly. No visible sign of tint shift around the hotspot, at all (one could measure, but I guess, it could be still very low).
I have a Jaxman X1s 5000K 90CRI for comparison, and these are two very different worlds (I like both of the, though).
I think, it would be worthy to have a flashlight with 7-9 E21A emitters arranged like in DQG Mini 3rd, or FireFlies ROT66 (or even 12).
The Armytek Tiara C1 Pro is here. There were some you guys asked me about this earlier, but I don’t quite remember all of you. I can only remember:
.
- SKV89 & friends: 2pcs (Tira C1 Pro)
- Bob_mcBob: 1pc (Wizard Pro)
- Slayer1 & friends: 2pcs (Tiara C1 Pro)
Boris & friends: 5pcs (Wizard Pro)
.
I’ll announce them in the store tonight. Due to my slow processing speed, I rather have all the orders placed before I start to make them in one single batch. Besides, I forgot to order the Yajiamei 60° optics. This alone will takes about 2 weeks from China to Indonesia. So, those will be shipped around early December 2018.
And I don’t plan to keep selling these Armyteks in the future because my custom order seems too complicated for Armytek to fulfill. Will instead post a complete modification guide later in BLF, so you guys can do it yourself.
UPDATE 181210:
Batch of orders #10325, #10326, #10328, #10329, #10330, #10336, #10339, #10341, #10343, #10344, #10345, #10346, and Invoice #29 are all ready to ship.
I supposed to ship them today but I checked the potting compound wasn’t fully cured (it will cured itself within a week), to make sure I put them back in the oven for another 6 hours.
Yes, slight difference on the white wall. B optic will give broader more even hotspot. The A while creates more center lux, also produce (dimly) wider spill. I prefer B for close works.
That page says me, that you have the 3000K CCT E21A emitters to include them in that customized Tiara C1 Pro, but on the separate page for E21A, I still cannot select 3000K for E21A (approx. since at least 3.5 months).
Now, this means, that I can buy Tiara C1 Pro with that emitter, even if you don’t have that for separate purchase?
@HICRI9080: I think you misunderstood the situation here
I sell a complete ready to use modified Armytek Wizard and Tiara, not just the host or parts (you can if you want it). The picture of a box with some half finished headlamps inside was just to show our friends who ordered them in November - December about the progress I’m currently at.
UPDATE 181212: (Regarding the E17A/E21A/Optisolis AAA)
I still can’t give the exact pricing but it won’t be no less than USD 25. Some of the components and the lights are still under Indonesian custom inspection. I will launch it as soon as I finished with the test.
Some preview:
This is a GREAT and CHEAP opportunity for those that want to try out these exotic emitters, which I think are the current best in the world in terms of tint and color rendering.
I look forward to that as well. The only problem will be choosing which one(s).
Oh and our local post finally delivered my order from months ago (they were on rotating strikes and not processing international mail very quickly). Congrats on the most impressive packaging I’ve ever seen.
That’s always been a problem with economy service from and to Canada. Even the EMS can’t deliver most packets timely as promised to Canada. Enjoy your LEDs =)
