Not good news regarding 95CRI 5000K leds. Is there any other led available with has 5000K 95CRI in will be good match for this FL?
Thank you
I think your best bet would be the Nichia 219C which has 5000k and 83CRI. I don’t think there’s anything with better CRI at 5000k?
Even the 219B at 4500k is 90CRI but once they eclipse 90+CRI they drop to 4000k
Does anybody know what the CRI is for the SST-20 5000K?
R9080 quality E21As are only rated for 90+ CRI, but they usually reach or surpass 95cri on measurements. Good luck using them on a FET driver though. There are 18 however, so that may help their cause.
65-70 I think. SST20 only comes in 95 cri up to 4000k.
To give people an idea what to expect for sustained output, here’s a runtime/output test. Full turbo is crazy-bright, and when it gets hot it does a smooth ramp down to about 30% power. After that it regulates to whatever temperature the user configured, which in my test worked out to around 2000-ish lumens. After the initial ramp-down, the changes aren’t really perceptible:
On a longer time scale, there was a bit of slow wobble… but not too bad. As it keeps searching for the ideal level, the fastest it moved was a few percent in almost a minute, which I wouldn’t even notice without a light meter.
Full power is definitely a “turbo” mode, not a sustainable “high” mode. It’ll generally ramp down in a minute or less, if you’re not using water cooling.
So it looks like only about 30 seconds (or even less) at full power?
bonjour
je viens de m'inscrire enfin sur votre beau forum que je consulte depuis des années.Je viens moi aussi de commander la emisar d18 en neutral white et 5000 k ss20.Je possede deja la ds1;la d4s hpl et la d4s hd
j ai beaucoup de lampes mais les emisar sont vraiment top.Je vais revendre l astrolux mf01
Bonjour Claude, bienvenue sur BLF.
Je te suggère d’utiliser google traduction pour poster en Anglais, car il y a peu de Francophone ici 
Hi Claude and welcome on BLF.
I suggest you to use google translator to post in English language, because there are not many French speakers here
it look so, a bit too short imo a very drastic drop to sustained lumens it seems. but im not suprised really, handling around 10-14k lumens more then a min or two needs a very beefy and heavy heatsinking really.
No magic going on with this light unfortunately, physics applies!
Is there gonna be a XPL Hi 5000K version?
I am fine for the short turbo time considering its smaller size.
Thanks for posting these runtime output graphs!
Do you happen to have the same for an M43 that you could integrate into the same chart for comparison purposes?
I only have such a graph, I do not remember where I come from. That’s why I ask the author for forgiveness for sharing without asking
100% will be 7300 lumens, so some 3000 is lumens is flat.
Imo 30 seconds of runtime is plenty given the primary goal of the light appears to be size. It’s pretty clear from Hanks posts he was trying to beat the meteor overall in both output and size.
The meteor is the smallest pop can light I’ve seen next to the ROT66. Quality & output of the D18 crushes the ROT66 and it beats the Meteor on output.
The real competitor is the MF01S but it’s so much larger it’ll never nicely fit in a pocket. The D18 is definitely jeans/cargo pocketable which is amazing!
The size imo is definitely worth the trade off in runtime
Maybe if you wear clown pants.
Even a much smaller D4S doesn’t fit in the pocket of my jeans without feeling very awkward.
eh lol fit the d18 in jeans? thats hardly possible with my d4s… must be some super size jeans then…
Thanks Hank! Order has been placed!
How do you decide what colors you want to make lights?
lol,
maybe just me then. I was a smoker all my life turned vaper
EDC:
wallet
car keys
lighter
smokes (now a dual 18650 vape)
plus sized cellphone
Olight S1R
Leatherman Charge +
I’m so used to carrying so much crap, a 3x 18650 light is no problem!
Must be #90s JNCO jeans lol
