I just ordered a bulb from him. The website could definitely use some updating. The charts are labelled with the LED so you can figure out which one matches the model # of the option you selected.
I live in California and have bought from waveformlighting before. You can see test results in my earlier link.
I was in check out and was blocked from shipping. Could you try again to see if it was a new policy waveformlighting added?
It’s a little naughty, but you might be able to bypass the restriction by choosing “Nevada” as the state, then adding the letters “CA” to your town name. The website should be none the wiser, and the delivery company will figure it out.
I entered my address and it gave me shipping options. I suggest you send them an email. Also try using another browser.
I sent them an email and this was the response:
I guess I’ll try some round about methods.
SAW (Korean) - its TRI-R (3-R) technology. It is with violet crystals only.
SOL (China) - it is with ~4 types of crystals.
I think that 3-R is more durable, and if violet peack will appear after years and years of uses, it will be ok (SORAA, yuji, samsung master color - all of them have violet peack)
there is tests with duv for SAW (TRI-R) 5000k and 4000k from 2018
I have 2 buyers from this forum already. 6w 4000k SOL and 9w 3000k SAW, may be they will publikate tests
Also I sended 10xss with 4 types of SOLs to test to maukka
I can't vouch for the shipping carrier (...as I don't know them), but I totally vouch for maukka completing the test once the bulb arrived, in the coming days/weeks.
And that's why, currently in our "Light Bulb table", your SunLike bulbs are referred as "Test to come".
PS: so far, based on your manufacturer tests you are #1 of this table. Congrats Adam!

add 2700k to CCT of Sunlike10X please
also your tabble in .png is 382kb
you can compress it to 295kb by optipng to 295kb
and additional to ~280kb with PNGoutWIN after optipng (it is slow)
ps. it is not manufacturer test, it is independed test by lampters.ru =)
Also my lampman’s assistant have spectrometr UPRtek and he have the same results
Done.
Clever remark, it has been performed by lamptest.ru . But I remembered when I first discover your website (and then contacted you), I tried to found back their tests of your products on their own website and I couldn't find them back there (for instance, you do not seem to appear in their manufacturer list). Do you know why?
I always think of optimising PNG and JPG for the website I'm managing, but I don't have the same reflex when I just share images online. After tests a while back I settled to use "compressor.io" (391>218kb) and "tinypng" (391>213kb), depending from cases. I'll have to give PNGoutWIN/optiPNG duo a try.
because I do not pay to him =)
I deleted .ru from tests, beuse I can not find on his web-site tests of my lamps easy. Some month ago it was on the main page.
there is tests of:
my first sunlike TRI-R bulbs from jan.2018
really thanks to him for all of this tests, because I still do ot have spectrometr =(
compressor.io when “lossless” just used optipng - it is free (OS) and tiny
but you can use optipng by yourself
also you can compress some better (0-10%) if you will use after optipng pngOUTwin (not free and really slow)
tinypng.com is not lossless!
and I additional compressed it by pngOUTwin =)
it convert your png file from 24-bit to 8-bit.
you can do it in the paint.net also (free - OS)
R5 line and spectrum also… so much artefacts in 8-bit
Which of the two do you recommend?
Once i ordered a bulb from https://well-lit.co.uk
The reds seem a bit over saturated and it’s a bit too yellow for me. Still way better that any lower cri bulb. It’s quite heavy and is still working fine after four years. I’ve had other cheap bulbs £4-£6 fail in 1-2 years. I think this is the same bulb:
Very roughly:
- SAW is a bit more energy efficient, giving some more lumens
- SOL is the best of the two for color rendition.
Some news around the Ultra High CRI table :
- As proposed in one of my previous post, I've committed the tweak on the "BLF Bulb Quality factor" formula
- Following Barkuti's proposal, I've isolated the bulbs with some missing data in a separated zone
- I'm working on integrated Joshk's results
- I added the latest review of Maukka. Those new bulbs, coming from "Ligthning Arena" ranked #3 (A- grade) and #11 (B grade). Many thanks to Maukka for his task!
any!
Guys, once those tryout bulbs will be received, could you give us an update here and tell us if there are any manufacturer / brand name associated to those ones? Also if you know someone with a spectrometer on hand, you know what to do...
