Thanks for the suggestions CNCman. The K6 reflector is designed to fit inside the host with its particular geometry, so fitting any other thing inside requires careful selection.
Given the situation, I am @#$%. Can't help feeling like @#$% the whole thing altogether now. I wish I could re - coat the reflector easily. Jeez with this now.
These new XHP35 HI batches are really nice additions. I have seen 40G 90CRI and 2B 80CRI already, but if you could get a 90CRI batch of them with one of these tint codes, that would be even better:
one of 4A, 4B, 3C, 3D, or one of 45G or 50G. These would be around 4500-5000K, and would make a super nice neutral white thrower.
BanL, I highly recommend you buy one of the following to test your LEDs so you know what you actually bought and if your suppliers are being honest with their labeled bins. Also if you can label your LEDs with the CCT, CRI, and tint (DUV), it would greatly help your customers buy with confidence and this will set your store apart from other LED stores online. Keep in mind many customers might not want to take gambles when buying emitters.
I donāt buy emitters these days until they are proven by somebody here with at least a beamshot comparison. And I only but more than a sample emitter until Iāve tested it or someone posts spectral data. I canāt deal with much more than 0.0010 duv. Lee filters have saved many LEDs from the trash bin, but theyāre not ideal. They scratch easily and cut a lot of lumens. This really should be a standard practice for any seller who claims a specific tint/CRI binning.
I too was intrigued and purchased one a few days ago. My intention to put in a White Flat 2mm^2 and Convoy SST40 driver (Link). Added a note regarding SMO reflector, hope they oblige.
Is KD operating normally at the moment? I have three orders on āprocessedā, the oldest one for more than a month. Nothing shipped apparently and I donāt get replies to my emails either.
I made an order (bare emitters (in stock)) on 1st Oct and shipped on 9th, so even with website down, things seem to resume pretty normally after the golden week/national holiday.
