KD (kaidomain): Deals and new products thread

Hi Barkuti

We don’t get 9mm reflector that is used on 3030 LED.

I will go to test the beam and make the gasket.

Thank you

Ban

I am interested in those gasket.

I would need them as well. If possible to make gaskets for narrower reflector openings also that would be great

BanL already offers gaskets for 3030 leds and ∅7 mm reflector opening:

Given how item information is presented in KD's page, where only a part of the description is shown under the item's picture (see miscellaneous parts, for example), it would be a lot more useful to list gaskets using a different description format. People looking for gaskets mainly look for “a emitter size and/or type gasket for reflector hole diameter”, and so this information should be at the beginning of every gasket description, in my opinion. Item descriptions seem to be limited to 50 useful characters, I have just checked and any long item descriptions measures exactly 52 characters long, including two dots at the end. This way, the description of the above gaskets, which right now looks like

10mm(D) x 0.8mm(T) White Plastic Insulation Gasket..

would, for example, instead say

3030 Osram gaskets for 7mm reflector hole, 10mm(D)..

It is a lot faster to find suitable gaskets this way, and this translates into a better shopping experience in my honest opinion. The character set in the descriptions, though, has something to do with AliExpress.

KD has a global 10% off deal code “mar” valid till the end of March.

Good point Barkuti.

Search and description on KD is not friendly

A thing to point out for BanL, is that Simon Mao (from the Convoy store) has ∅9 mm gaskets for 3030 emitters listed in his shop: Gasket suitable for 3030 LED and 9mm reflector hole. Simon may also be interested in ∅7 mm gaskets for 3030 emitters.

Message to be removed if BanL doesn't likes it. O:)

Sure.

I will improve those keywords on the KD system.

Thank you for your advice.

I really enjoy all of you guys to give me the hints on making everything in an user friendly way.

Thank you

What you think about tint qualithy of the XP-G3 8A3 compared to sst20 3000k
Thought 8A was around 2800k instead of 3200k on your measures
Cheers

I put them away already but from what I remember the XP-G3 has a more noticeable corona and tint shift so I think I recall the SST-20 looks better.

Hope xpg3 still rosy and not greenish at low current
I See that sst20 hd2 was old stock,now are in hb4,so tint less good?

Wellp, I see people often complains about this tint preference thing, and over time I've come to conclude that it really doesn't bothers me much. I prefer close to BBL tints, and certainly don't complain at all seeing the light from my LH351D 4000K CRI90+ flashlights which technically is slightly greenish.

My advice is try one, what can I say. O:)

Quick question here, not exactly because I am interested right now but anyway I think it is good to be known. I saw an S3 21700 host available at Kaidomain some days ago. As options to choose from are orange peel or smooth reflector, and body colors in black, desert sand and purple. Would love to see photographs of the latter two.

HB4 is above the BBL so the DUV is positive.

Hi

I had posted the photo of three different color.

Regards

Ban

Nice! The S3 looks like a great host for gifting lights to “advanced muggles”, aka non-flashoholic but technically competent recipients. Looks like SS bezel and integrated shelf?

Yes that S3 21700 looks gorgeous, in my honest opinion. I got an S21A host weeks ago, and honestly as much as I like that S3 it will have to wait for now. :((

Who know if they are real JA3 Bin now?

You can get some from Fireflies, they have real JA3, I asked him to sell me some in a custom order. I think I recall Emisar has some JA3 bin too. You can try asking Hank. Both of them are reliable when it comes to binning because they actually test their emitters unlike KD that just source them but don’t/can’t verify.

Thanks,the problem is that Leds are already shipped now,Hope to receive the right Bin…
Did you ask Fireflies here?
