[Optisolis/E17A/E21A] Jetbeam Jet-µ

You mean with the COB, we wouldn’t be able to mix say 2000k with 3000k?

COB Optisolis has only single CCT options. There’s another interesting new product from Nichia, a matrix of 2700K - 5000K E21A in COB form. But it has the same 36V voltage and currently limited to only R8000.

Got my 2 Jetusolis’s in 5000k in! One appeared slightly cooler than the other, so I went with the warmer, and gave the cooler to my brother and his wife.

First impressions are that it appears much cooler than 5000k, more akin to the 5700k Nichia 219B R9050 I had on my old Jaxman E2. I wonder if a lot of that is attributed to the full cyan region of the spectrum?— I would guess so. Very pure looking. I can definitely tell it’s slightly green, but it does render reds really well regardless. Tint deviation within beam seems small in general, thanks to its floody nature, subjectively it looks like the outer edges of it are warmer and greener than the center, but that could be because there’s less lux on the outer edges.

I think I’ll try it with a green minus 1/8th filter.

There’s small variation between LEDs, Maukka confirmed that the difference is not that large. It’s mostly cause by variation in optics. I tried my best to find relatively narrow beam with as good as possible uniform beam. I ended with hundreds of them. Just to let you know, even those 30° optic in your light was individually binned. Only 60% (so far) of the 30° optics ordered for Optisolis produce even beam. With optics > 30° you will get very even beam but perhaps not usable for most people.
As for the greeniness, compared to E21A it is greener. Compared to sw45k 219B it will be even worse. But keep in mind that sunlight is actually has green tint too, sometimes way greener than Optisolis. I remember somewhere in IRC Maukka posted two pictures of daylight (snowy winter) measurements with green tint very much like Cree (or worse, I forget).

Tip: If you want to make the beam better and don’t mind with more spill try this simple trick….
get a fine (#320 grit or higher) silicone carbide powder or make your own (soak a sandpaper in gasoline). Wet the tip of a small brush with a liquid detergent, dip it to the SiC powder and brush the lens in all directions. You don’t have to remove the lens from the flashlight to do so. Rinse it in a running water. Voila! clean floodier beam.

The beam I’m perfectly fine with, right now it’s just the green. I do know that sunlight is on the green side of BBL, but I also tried the Optisolis out on some patches of dirt and leaves last night, and it didn’t seem to be too sunlight-looking. A lot of that might be the ghastly appearance of just having lower lux on target though. I’ll get to compare better today though.

I always thought I liked sunlight too but later realized that sunlight is slightly above the BBL and is greenish compared to my A and D tinted Cree emitters. I guess the high lux from sunlight makes even above the bbl tint look pleasant and warm. At night time so far I find the ROT66 with 219B 9080 with much below the BBL 4500k on turbo most reminiscent to warm afternoon sunlight. Above the BBL 5000k and 5700k lights make vegetation or anything look very gloomy and depressing.

Would be very interested in Maukka’s numbers of the Jetusolis.

I tested a couple Jetusolis. The 5000K ones were very tightly grouped.

That does at least confirm my subjective impressions that it was a little cool of 5000k. I actually prefer that, as it puts it closer to sunlight than not.

Overcast day, so can’t compare patches of sunlight to the Optisolis yet. :frowning:

Got a chance to compare the 5k Optisolis to midday sunlight. Tested on red bricks, mud and leaves, bark, white printer paper and much more.

The optisolis is slightly warmer, which is a given, but it is definitely slightly greener than sunlight to my eyes. I will put a filter on it.

So far I only hear excessive green tint Jetusolis from you. I think Jetusolis is not the right choice for you. Better go with JetuE21A for more traditional and well accepted tint flavour. I can upgrade it to JetuE21A if you want. PM me if you’re interested.

Thanks for the offer. It doesn’t take much to put a filter on it, and I like the idea that the Optisolis fills out the cyan region. I ordered the Optisolis just to have a benchmark for this kind of ultra high cri lighting. I don’t think the lee filter will degrade the cyan part of the spectrum.

I already have my ROT66 219B SW45K R9080 and ROT66 SST20 4000k + 804 filter for pretty lighting.

Got mine Jetusolis P9 5000K :slight_smile:

Here is beam shot of: Jetusolis 5000K (right), E21A sm503 (left), Sofirn C01 Yuji 5600K (top):

I was curious, so I ran this image through my color-averaging brightness-normalizer script. It makes each individual pixel as bright as possible while staying true to the original tint, which makes it easier to compare tints.

I know that this is mostly a tint snob thread, but I would also like to praise the choice of the host. This tiny twisty is incredibly handy an the beam profile from the e21a/stock tir is incredible. My wife who really hates all and each of my flashlights, just took this one from me and uses it daily.

Just wanted to share a useful mod of my e21a version.

I replaced the supplied TIR optics by an aspheric lens which I extracted from a cheap ebay aaa zoomie called skywolfeye ($2.99 or so). Had to trim the lens a little bit but it is almost the right size. Will need to blacken the white gasket to completely eliminate the stray light, but even now I have a great uniform circular beam. An aaa version of McGizmo Sundrop. Very happy and will order some Jets with higher cct

Received my 2700k and 5000k Optisolis JetU from Maukka a few days ago. It is actually alot brighter than I expected for Optisolis and AAA. Way brighter than the Sofirn C01 and E01vn. R9 appears a slight bit higher than the Yuji but it’s hard to compare 90+ cri emitters. Personally I still like the E21A 9080 more because the tint is much more rosy. However, the Optisolis is more of a sunlight simulator. I find the 5000k Optisolis tint and color rendering about identical to daylight on a cloudy day.

This is why I only use cool white high CRI for working (cooking included). Especially for cooking, warm white just doesn’t work for me.

Bachelor’s favourite breakfast, in this case it’s my brunchner.
What are they: new palm cooking oil, freshly cut potatoes (unpeeled), fully submerged in deep a fried pan (~150-180°C) for about 10 mnutes, 2pcs Bernardi chicken sausages (12cm each), Ayam brand canned beans in light tomato sauce, freshly ground black pepper and some salt sprinkles, Maestro mayonnaise mixed with French’s mustard sauce (Added them later). Usually I use fresh half cooked fried mushrooms chops instead of canned beans, but ran out of them.
Served on my mom’s porcelain plate she bought in 1955.

It’s just a smartphone camera, mind the quality (and slight glare from the oily lens)

During kitchen work, I mostly use my 4×sm503-D220-L2 modded Skilhunt H03 headlamp - it is especially useful, when I want to determine, how mildly I want to roast/fry sliced onion on oil.
