UPDATE: So in regards to the 219c, right now only the sm403 bin is available. None of the other options are in stock. I’ve requested to be notified in case they ever do become available. I also made a mistake and didn’t realize that the sm4550e and sm4570e bins don’t come in 90+ CRI so they will be dropped out of consideration.
219b sw30 and sw35 are still likely to happen. Will keep you guys posted on those as more info becomes available.
By the way, I flowed SW40’s in my FW3A and SW45K’s in my FW3C. Carclo 10511 optics.
SW40 - not a hint of green, pure white tint, gorgeous color rendering.
SW45K - beautiful white tint with that magenta rosiness, gorgeous color rendering.
On turbo, both go more rosy, but nothing like the big tint shift with SST-20’s. I prefer these even if they have less throw. Not even white wall hunting can fault these emitters in my setups. Thanks Azhu! Looking forward to the next batch!
I will, I had them all taken but my memory card seems to have crapped out. I do still like the sw-40 better, but really only for wall hunting. The FD2’s are really good. There is the smallest hint of off color at very low to moderately low drive current. At mid to high current they are just super!
I will shoot the set again this weekend if I can’t recover the images. The most telling is when comparing the D4V2 SST-20 to the FW3A SST-20 FD2. I will shoot with a fixed daylight white balance and with a close white balance of 4000k.
I may also build one with SW-45k’s this weekend to add to the comparison.
