3D would be about 4750K - 5000K, mostly below the BBL. The 3Dâs I have I do not see any green, although if the bin (?) were above the BBL I guess there could be a minute trace of green. 3D is one of my two favorites.
7A is about 3030K - 3250K and all below the BBL. Much to warm for me, I have 1 x S2+ I got before I understood anything about CCT. It is ârosyâ for sure. Getâs no use except to visually explain CCT to others.
As far as âbrightnessâ⌠beats me. I âthinkâ that would depend on bin. (If âbinâ is the correct term)
.
âI am pretty sure most people would really love to buy a light with 4000 to 4500k⌠we made pollsâ
âso letâs make one in 3D and one in 7AâŚ, If you use them together, you got your desired tint 5A/5D tintâ
I tried to get 5A as an option, because it looks so nice in the last sample they sentâŚ
At first, Neal wanted to do 3D and 1A only (~4900K and ~6700K). A cool white option would be nice to have, but not at the expense of offering nothing for the majority who wanted something warmer. So I tried to get him to do 5A. Or, ideally, 7A, 5A, 3D, and 2A (~3200K, ~4100K, ~4900K, ~5900K). But I guess he doesnât want to do a ~4000K model with XP-L HI if there will eventually be a 4000K model with SST-20 or LH351D. And apparently not more than two options at launch. So he kinda decided on his own to do 7A and 3D.
It only makes sense now because they dragged their feet so much sourcing other LED choices. Itâs like they are doubling down on dumb choices to fix their previous mistakes.
They shouldâve just taken the 20% customs taxes hit on the LH351Ds from Mouser, maybe increase the LH351Dâs light price to 31-32$US, and be done with it.
For the record, theyâre welcome to put a bunny on the tail of mine AND a hole in the pocket clip if they also engrave âSpare Parts Editionâ on the body. I want a font that looks either like stenciled spray paint or childrenâs crayon writing. :sunglasses:
yea i know, i would pay 35$ easy if that emitter would be possible soon which was also the reason i jumped in on this light but guess not for the moment.
