Is anyone with a grey E07 interested in a black aluminum body? I have no experience with dismounting the E07 to remove the internals (and I haven’t even received my E07 yet), but I had to take a black version to get the combination between emitter and auxiliary leds I wanted, though I preferred grey or silver. I would happily swap!
When I bought the clear ano E07, SST-20’s were a base price… no premium mark-up. I didn’t know what they would do or how they would look so I got it that way. Then when I put the 30T in it yesterday afternoon and saw them go blue, I knew they weren’t going to be staying. With the thermal stepdown reset, you could actually see the stepdown in the color of the beam, it warmed to the lemongrass color as it went down. Nope, couldn’t do that.
So this afternoon, when the mailman rang the doorbell, I welcomed home 30 Samsung LH351D in the W6 power bin at 5000K. Now, these babies make it right! Nice even tint from moon to Turbo, albeit a larger hot spot. At just under $2 each when ordering in a quantity over 20, well, it just made sense.
Charged up the 30T, tested low lumens at 0.05175 and Turbo at 9246 lumens at start, at 20 seconds it stepped down but was making 8452.5 lumens. Such a nice creamy white tint, I do believe the W6 5000K LH351D is my favorite emitter.
I didn’t change anything else. Well, except for thermal paste. Seems mine had very little to no thermal paste… the copper MCPCB came out dry and untouched by anything. Not so anymore.
When I receive my units, I’ll be able to test that. I am expecting an E07 Nichia 219B, an E07 XPL Hi 4000K, a 40T and a 50E. I will only have my phone to measure the output though.
Did anyone measure the output of the SST-20 6500K option?
Manufacturer rating of 4500 Lumens seem kinda low when the the XPL-Hi 6500 is rated (and can do) 6900. That would be ~35% less output.
In comparison: Emisar rates the D4s with XPL-Hi 6500K with 4300 lumens, the SST-20 6500K with 4200 lumens. That’s only ~2.3% less output.
Wait what? Where did you buy those emitters and did you measure the trow compared to the sst-20 as well at turbo? Does the higher output make up for a less focussed beam?
