Ultimate LED Bulbs - Ultra High CRI - The Honorable Quest

I donā€™t think frosting or even white powder on the inside costs a lot of Lumen.
Maybe you know / remember the Philips Argenta Tungsten bulbs of the past?

I think i found out why:

Sunlike SOL bulb has landed!

Size comparison to a 60W incandescent.

Wow, that looks like a proper DIY project, using both new and re-used parts. :sunglasses:

You can get that kind of hosts here cheap:

Ah, i see.

This is terrific news! Now my morning routine is completely ruined, I just starting reading your review maukka

And here are the results: ranked #1, #2, #3 & #7 in the Ultimate LED Bulbs table. Quite the jackpot!

thanks! It is my baby! =)

Do not buy on aliexpress led bulb kits! Buy on taobao!

There is one big problem with led bulb kits from aliexpress seller what I find. Plastic thing (where E27 carving). This plastic will die and crumble (turn into dust, will cracked) after about 6 month =( That was the reason why I bought 3d printer. I will do this part from poliuretan plastic. From taobao sellers it is still alive =) But I do not want to repeating this situation. It must work 20-35 years in my lamps!

Thanks for the warning.
But who is to say the ones i linked to are made from the same crappy plastic?
I guess time will tellā€¦

When it is new, it is impossible to know crappy or not =(

If you really want something overkill, here is what I ordered:

Does anyone plan on reviewing high CRI LED tubes? The kind you replace fluorescent bulbs with. I have two 48ā€ fixtures in my living room and would like to get some high CRI tubes to put in them. Or maybe i should just change the fixtures?

The fins on these heatsinks are too tight. Convection cooling works better with wider spacing between finsā€¦ but this is taobao, so they probably go by ā€œmore fins betterā€ :person_facepalming:

Iā€™ve made a pendant light.

This is a lampshade from the store, 4 ExpertColor 3000K spots, some accessories, and a round piece of acrylic diffuser with a patterned ā€œbumpyā€ side. I frosted the other side. It works very well and makes a beautiful soft diffused light. Sure it is a bit weird to use GU10 spots to make what is basically a big softbox, butā€¦ thatā€™s what I had on hand and I really like the tone from these. Theyā€™re perfect to light the dining table. I think Iā€™m going to make another with Sunlike LEDs.

I think we might have a winner on this one , 95 CRI minimum, 84 R9 minimum, 2200K CCT, and BBL tint.

no =)
this is the winner in low CCT (2700-2800k) :face_with_monocle:
0.5$ per 1pcs :money_mouth_face:
CRI:99-100 CQS:99-100
But I made glass mated by myself
If add diode (or low voltage) - it will be more low CCT


If you did one of your sun-likes in 2200K-2500K Iā€™d buy it. :wink: Iā€™d actually really like the 2500K to match Philips SDW-T, white sodium.

Now I can only try to use most white cover for led bulb (white milk from Chinese language). But it will be 2500-2600k with 2700k led.
I already contact with SmartEcoLightning co (SOL manufacturer), they say that 2000pcs if I want 2300k. I have no so much money for this =(

About bedtimebulb.com

They have awesome web-site, but shit product for 20$. I mean that they almost ordinary filament bub is shit. It will work about 1 year, because there is no any cooling system for crystals.
