Ideas for e21a and optisolis hosts

The production Nichia versions that have been received have been tested to have LVP.

Not for armytekstore.com, though. Its already $56. You had me excited there thinking it was going to be $40.

The site is a little off. The V3 shows up on the front page with new products, but its only in cool, and you can’t find it under headlamps. I wonder why there’s armytek.com and armytekstore.com?

Well its $4 cheaper on Armytek.com after coupon, but they don’t show the V3 on that site.

I’m fidgeting now because I see the Wizard is longer and bigger than any other 18650 headlamp. The Tiara is also so cute and attractively sized, and would get you through one night.

Who tested the production version to confirm it has LVP? Link please? If so, that’s a great deal!

For e21 you need pcb with pads made for proper led size (2.1x2.1mm). You can try and mount leds to the board that was developed for 3x3mm leds, but with this pad design there are no ways to solder them in the right place. Leds will flow away and will shine everywhere but not inside tir hole.

Redditors have tested a few of them and reported the lights turned themselves off at ~2.6V. See here and here for two examples

How about:
Convoy S2+ host
VR16SP4 V2 with desired CCT
8A linear-FET driver (eg. Convoy or led4power.com)
25dg honeycomb TIR
copper pill

Thanks for the info. Now that makes the Wizard alot more interesting. How is the tint?

Im sure nothing will beat my E21A 4000K D220 emitters in NW category but curious is the duv is positive or negative.

I don’t think anyone has tested the new Wizard, but I would expect it to look good. I offered to review it for them and they never replied, so oh well.

How did you get free shipping at armytek.com? If I buy one shipping is $30. If I buy two, shipping is $15 :frowning:

Armytekstore.com is soldout of the Wizard Pro Nichia and it is also listed at $90

There was a US shipping option for free if the total was over $100. I only saw it from my laptop though. Strange

Is the free shipping still showing up on your laptop? Which browser did you use?

I was using firefox but I don’t see it now

I think it has to be an item that is available in their North American warehouse. I think the issue is that the stock here has sold out and now must be shipped from China. They ship DHL so it comes quick but $15 may be the cheapest you’ll find right now.

If you buy two, you can easily sell the second one on Reddit. I sold my extra one without any trouble and it saves you $15 in shipping since it’s $30 shipping for one and $15 for two

I dont know what I did but after messing with it for awhile, I was able to get free shipping! :smiley:
It is being shipped from China.

Nice! I knew I did it but I couldn’t seem to replicate it. Glad you got it to work. I got them quick too

I would really like a small quad host with side switch + ramping/anduril, like D4, EDC18, S4X, etc.

Are they better then the 219 SW40? (not sw45K)

Normally the non K variants of the 219B are on the BBL or even above and not very rosy at all. However, the SW40 I have are from Clemence, which is very rosy not unlike the SW45K. The D220 version of the E21A 4000K looks very similar to the SW40. Nearly identical but maybe a tad bit less rosy. I think I like the E21A slightly more because it is domeless so the tint is more even. Both are beautiful. However, the most recent sold out batch of E21A 4000K is D240, which is basically right on the BBL so it is not as nice and rosy. The good thing about E21A is that you can mix emitters in the quad board so you can get the same nice rosy 4000K with 2x 3500K + 2x 4500K. Results may look even better than the D220 4000K since mixing CCT usually results in higher Rg values for more saturated colors.

You can see my E21A measurements here.

Armytekstore.com is selling the Partner C4 Pro for only $27 whereas Armytek.com is selling it for $103.

Looks like this could be a good host for the E21A.
