WTS/GB: NICHIA 219B NVSL219BT-V1 R9080 EMITTERS! sw45k, sw40, sw35, sw30

Yeah I’ll need to find out if these are even available. Currently awaiting a response from a source.

:+1:

219C 4550s are max 80 CRI too, right?

R9050

I’m looking at page 5 of this datasheet, where the 4550s stop at R8000. Is that one out of date?

Oh well spotted, I completely overlooked that. That’s probably a deal breaker for me. Let’s see what azhu comes back with.

Yeah if there’s a 9050 4500K 219C I’m totally in. But I don’t think there is :frowning:

RG value of the sw40 d220 L2 r9080?

Well that’s unfortunate

Datasheet might not be up to date.
I don’t know if spec are corrects but RovyVon : The Aurora A6 has a 4500K tint and a CRI of at least 90 thanks to the Nichia 219C R9050 LED.

There has never been 119C/219C 4500K R9050 since it was born and (soon) gone. If there was 4500K R9050, then I must have brought them to BLF. Unless there are special bin which is very unlikely to happen.

If I’m not mistaken, the rank numbers just indicate a minimum CRI value, not maximum.

Ah I never thought of this because R8000 to R9050 is quite a difference. This is the beauty of having a Spectrophotometer :+1: :beer:
I really should start saving for one.

For $250 I was able to get a used ColorMunki Photo. It is an entry level model that uses the same sensor as some of the higher X-Rite models. It also goes by the name i1Studio but that model generally costs a bit more. Given your location it may be harder to source a good price used one but worth looking at.

I know myself and 1 or 2 other forum members who use this hardware. I documented some of my early experience with it here and maukka was very helpful in his replies as well:

Thanks Contatcr =)

I bought a modded light from Contactr and my measurements using the Sekonic C-800-U is pretty much the same as what he got with the ColorMunki Photo. I guess the only advantage of a portable dedicated spectrometer is that it is so easy to use and that it is portable and you can take it to your bedroom, living room, outdoors, to a store, etc.

Yes the downside is with mine you are tether to a device of some kind. PC/laptop/phone/tablet.

If you want something like the sekonic output you need $99 mobile app to get close.

It’s more of a color calibration tool stock but Argyll software brings that ambient sensor to life instead of Sekonic being portable and out of box suitable for ambient light.

Sorry, I meant, not guaranteed to be better than R8000. I guess you could buy a bunch, measure them, and bin them yourself.

I have the Xrite i1Display Pro. Is there any software or tricks I can use to utilize this device not just for monitor calibration?

You could probably get CCT but not any info about CRI since it’s a color meter not a spectral meter
