KD (kaidomain): Deals and new products thread

I will take some white wall beamshots as well. The L6 with 4000K 70CRI is more visible than the 90CRI because it is throwier, has a slightly higher current and the 70CRI is generally a bit brighter. Maybe somewhere in a dark natural landscape it would be better to take beamshots of high cri flashlights.

Here are some new pictures of the MantaRay C8.2 with XHP70.2 5000K 90CRI.

I finally got round to testing these! I bought a batch when they were first available and another a coulple months later. There’s a very noticeable difference and would say the first batch, although sold as JA3, were in fact JC1. The second batch have a noticeably lower DUV, similar to the first batch with an 805 minus green filter.

I also had a go at slicing these (just above the bond wires). I didn’t notice any dramatic changes to output/throw but the tint gets rosier and the hotspot smaller. Only tested in OP reflectors so far but haven’t noticed the starburst effect I’ve seen mentioned. Overall a very nice improvement.

hodor, that’s good news. When did you buy the JA3? According to your experience, it seems like KD sent Djozz the JC1 instead of the JA3.

Hopefully BanL will resend the correct JA3 emitters to Djozz for free :wink:

Also the 2700K JA3 from Fireflies is a bit rosier than the 3000K HD2 bin from KD. The 3000K HD2 from KD was tested by Djozz to be rosier than the KD 2700K JC1 bin.

15 March and 21 July 2019.

Yep, I guess he got rid of the last bit of the old batch with the new batch already listed.

Quick question fellows, did someone tested any of the Osram KW led emitters @ Kaidomain?

Yea i bought both and have used them in different lights. I think a output was done on both of these.

General KD question fellows, does anyone knows what is the relationship between Kaidomain and the LHT Flashlight store?

Not the same products in the latter, and prices are jacked up.

I just want a bunch of those 4500K XPL HI :o

I believe Simon at Convoy also carries 4C bin X-Pl HI.

The LHT Flashlight store is owned by Kaidomain. They have more products listed on Kaidomain’s own website.

I suppose the prices are higher because of the Aliexpress fees for the store or just because they can make more profit on Aliexpress. :wink:

Interesting! I thought they were $16.50AUD each but looks like that’s for two.

Hhhhhhmmmm….

4A or 4D would be nicer though :wink:

Anyone got any LH351D’s from KD yet? Curious to know if they’re as advertised. Saying that, we still don’t know the tint bin.

Got some LH351D 5700K. Can’t test them properly but I think the colour is slightly above BBL. And I wasn’t amazed by the colour rendition.
I have some Nichia 219b -V1 5700K and I consider them to be nicer.

I tried the 5700K in a Armytek Prime C1 Pro with a Yajiamei 15° beaded optic and I would also say it’s slightly above the BBL. The lumen output is quite impressive though.

Anyone tried 5000K LH351D ?

I’m waiting for my headlamp to arrive then I’ll try it. Then I can do a direct comparison to 5000K that AEDe supplied.

Yeah I haven’t been blown away by LH351D colour rendition but they have good output (well they should anyway, the ones I got from elsewhere have not performed well at all).

Sound’s like 5700K will be good with a slice.

It was a buried in a mod post, but djozz tested the 5700K version IIRC… let me dig up the comment

EDIT: found it here…
