Although it is none of my business, your delivery scheme sounds complicated to start withā¦ Why not get it shipped where you are? This is likely the source of your problem because of an additional reshipping, possibly abroadā¦ Unless i misunderstood. I canāt tell.
In my five+ years experience, it always gets delivered in 10-20 days, whatever the chinese seller with free or almost free shipping. I just order and forget, and someday it shows up. Whatever the address iām at in France. I would expect as much in Germany.
Excessive expectation and parcel tracking fosters anxiousness too.
Just checked the datasheet, all XP-L HIs 3500K and below are 80 CRI minimum. This isnāt true for the HD and certainly isnāt a hard and fast rule for other Cree emitters.
It was not my choice.
The company who did the shipping in Germany was somewhat unable to deliver to my original address.
They could not handle a company line.
I did not choose the type of shipping, it was the default for Germany.
All shipments where sent domestically and not international.
I didnāt do anything special. Opened it up, tossed a GA inside, and play with it every now and again. It did see some pocket time on Sunday, but only a couple hours. Other than that itās been sitting on my desk bezel down when Iām not using it.
I have seen a number of Cree datasheets over time, in which all emitters at 3000K were 80 CRI minimum, and wrongfully concluded that it was true for all Cree emitters, sorry about that. At least it is true for the XP-L Hi, which is used in the FW3A.
Has anyone else put the UCL lens on an SST-20? Do you have before and after shots? Still waiting on mine, so I am stuck living vicariously through those of you who have received theirs.
For those with the FW3A and itās āheavyā switch action, and awaiting or has the FW3C with its ālightā switch action, consider swapping the switches. I found that the heavy switch goes well with the heavy light, and vice versaā¦ Thereās just something it does to my mind. When I pick up the heavy light, I appreciate the heavy switch action,and also vice versa.
I didnt do anything scientific but I was pretty sure when I pulled both switches they were identical and the difference was actually how the tail opening was milled and the sizing of the nub was slightly trimmed. So if you moved the rubber gasket and nub that would make sense but if you only moved the metal tail it doesnāt make sense to me.
