Once the triple/quad 3030 MCPCB are released I guess you will see huge bump in sales. Just like the SST-20 it is not a very interesting led in singles as I don’t have good hosts for them. Vinh gets pretty impressive numbers with the FW3A: 3*W1 Clear Lens: 2000L, 45Kcd, 424m. No idea where he gets the 3030 triple though…
They are compatible with carclo optics, but OSRAM 4040 footprint is not exactly the same as Luxeon's, so Cu DTP 4040 can be used for CULNM1, but mosX can't (central pad on them is wider).
Can you perhaps describe the beam of the Luxeon V’s under a 10507 optic? I had Luxeon V’s in my Emisar D4 and it was a floody mess. Maybe they produced a better beam under the triple optic…
If it was too floody under 10507 you won't like it in the triples either. That's just how the Luxeon V is, it's a lot floodier than XPL-HI in those optics.
I really like it that way, and the output is so outrageous that I just brute-force the throw. I gave up on the idea of quads/triples for realistic use at anything beyond 30 feet a while back... I haven't tested it with the Kaidomain triples or any Ledils. I don't know if they even fit, or if the beam has any more throw.
No I won’t mix the different voltage bins. I was curious because I have one of the first samples in my Convoy S3 and the Vf was quite high compared to the SST-40 VH voltage bin. I’ll just move mine to my dad’s light and get the F bin for myself.
I didn't buy full reels of those,so I don't have that info, but I measured ~2.82V@700mA with temperature correction, so it seems like they are X voltage bin.
