[Postponed] Sofirn SP10R - deep red AA/14500 EDC

In!

Yes please!

I really like my C01R but I would much rather have a dual red+white LED for an AA light.

Interested

Interested in one.

Interested

Interested.

Going with the trend I guess a red led SP40 will come along with a better UI?

I will probably get another one over my wife’s objections.

Yes… interested in one!

how great compared to other similar red leds?

Interested

Interested, thanks!

Interested.

Like this?

Well, this would mean a complete new host and reflector design which is probably too much an effort. However, I will keep your idea in mind as it's interesting.

Alternatively, you could try looking for a flashlight like EagleTac D25LC2 Color using the (rather old) XM-L Color LED, with RGBW tints in one LED.

I'm not sure if a red SP40 would get a lot of interest. But Wurkkos's HD20 with dual emitter layout might be a good host for using both white and red light in one headlamp.

That's the right attitude! :-D Buying just another one exclusively for your wife might let her forget any objections. ;-)

I am afraid there's not much to compare this LED with. Cree's XP-E2 photo red is (presumably) less powerful and smaller in die size. Luminus has its direct competitor, SST10-DR with similar characteristics. My hopes are that SST20-DR will sustain more current, have more output at slightly larger dome size and will fit better to the SP10S driver supporting li-ion batteries.

Interested

In for two :slight_smile:

Interested. I hope if this project does go through some of its improvements can trickle over to the SP10S.

SOS in a red-only AA light? Really? :person_facepalming:

Pass.

The far red light is only medically useful for people over 40 years old, according to the published research.
