Hi Ban,
Last year (I do not know when exactly because I never made an account on KD) I bought 2 XHP35 Hi leds, 4000K 80CRI from Kaidomain.

I have used them both in a flashlight now and measured CRI, both are 70.1 CRI, so not 80 CRI as listed on your site. Is your whole batch 70 CRI, or are you currently selling a different batch? As you understand I’m a bit disappointed.

This is nothing new: KD (kaidomain): Deals and new products thread - #1022 by maukka

And Ban did not respond to that post?

Ban, did you check your current inventory of XHP35 Hi 4000K 80CRI? If these are indeed 80CRI, could I have a replacement of the two wrong 70CRI ones from last year?

Hi

Sorry for the replying you late.

Do you have any order number so that i can refer to?

The current wheel is in CRI80.

Thank you

Ban

No, I’m sorry. I never created an account on Kaidomain because it works fine to send the goods to my PayPal address. And it was still on the old site when I ordered them and your order conformation mail when the old site was still on, did not contain a summary of the ordered items, just an order nr and the amount of money.

So there’s no order nr coupled to the leds. Maybe it is in your administration? (I’m sure there’s just one Jos from Amsterdam )

Hi djozz

I will ask for our colleague to help to follow for your problem.

Sorry for any inconvenience cause to you.

Ban

Hi Ban,
The last I heard to sort out the problem above is an email from Candy on March 26 (so already 5 weeks ago) that she will compare the photo of the led I sent her with the current stock and that she will “reply as soon as possible”.

First, there is nothing you can see at a XHP35 Hi led in a photo that tells you if it is 80CRI or 70CRI, but still she asked for a photo, so useless but I did send her the photo anyway.

Second, 5 weeks is very long for a reply “as soon as possible”, don’t you think?

Is it possible to solve this after all this time?

Hi djozz

Sorry for replying you late.

I will follow this problem and reply to you on this Sunday when i back to office.

Thank you

I finally received replacements for the 2 XHP35 Hi leds that were sold to me last year as 80CRI but that I measured 70CRI.

I soldered one into my Astrolux FT02 and I can confirm that this batch of 80CRI 4000K XHP35 Hi leds from Kaidomain is indeed 80CRI : in the lowest mode I measure 82CRI in the hotspot, in the highest mode 79CRI. Also worth noting is a large CCT shift at different currents, from 3600K in the lowest mode to 4100K in the highest mode. Kind of nice for a light source that the tint warms up at lower output.

Thanks Ban, I’m really happy with these!

@djozz

Glad to see this was resolved. How does the 80CRI tint compare to the 70 CRI variant? Any green? Rosy?

Umpi2000 · May 28, 2019, 4:51pm

Has anyone tested or compared the efficiency/transmission/beam angle of the kaidomain triple optics vs the Carclo 10507 optic?

jasontheguitarist · May 28, 2019, 4:58pm

There was this thread I found when I was curious about the same thing.

The 3 legs are bigger = easier to drill to install trits.

djozz · May 28, 2019, 6:38pm

The tint of the 70 CRI version is superb, bit rosy indeed, this 80 CRI version (looking at the hotspot) is not as rosy, even a bit above the BBL, but I still like it, and see no green at all, more a bit yellow.

Hey Banl

can you please ship my orders #5123 and #5200

BanL · June 1, 2019, 2:20am

Hi Nico

For #5200, i will help to check the package.

Thank you

Ban

Hi Ban,

Can you please kindly check on my order #5039- it has been processed for some time, and I haven’t seen any updates to its status for a while. I would greatly appreciate it!

BanL · June 3, 2019, 10:37am

Hi jericho0o

Your package is ready for shipped out.

As the package had contained the Li-ion battery, i will upgrade to ship by DHL.

Thank you

Ban

Thanks Ban, I appreciate it!

KF8 LUMINUS SST-40 DE-DOMED, it look great… how about you give some beamshots??

1stein · June 5, 2019, 5:02am

Link

Check this, this is C8+ with sst40 DD at 5A

hasddie293 · June 5, 2019, 7:13am

Thanks a lot 1stein, appreciates it. :+1:

But, sst40/20 or even Nichia 219c/b that I came across with in BLF, are sets of HIGH CRI led. I want to see whether the flashlight beamshot pass High CRI test with great result…

1stein · June 5, 2019, 7:17am

I doubt sst40 is high CRI. Contrary to sst20…

djozz · June 5, 2019, 8:56am

Luminus has a limited set of tints and CRI.
All SST-20 above 4000K is 70CRI, all 4000K and lower is 95CRI.
SST-40, lowest CCT is 5000K is all 70CRI

1stein · June 5, 2019, 9:03am

This is what we needed : an expert’s explanation

djozz · June 5, 2019, 9:30am

Or just someone who has read the datasheets

1stein · June 5, 2019, 9:32am

Right… Someone who read datasheets and understands them

hasddie293 · June 5, 2019, 11:23am

Let me put that on my notes….done!
Wait, “…-djozz”

Cheers!
