Cree, Luminus, Seoul Semiconductor, and Nichia LED comparison

Sorry for the late reply, I hadn't noticed it.

They are actually available from my favorite source, Illumination Supply.

They are rather inefficient, and are 3000k so very yellow. It's all a matter of personal preference.

I actually already said that it was discontinued in the write up. ;) Thanks though.

lol, i type wiith one finger, `hunt and peck` :bigsmile:

41

I think the Luminus Devices LEDs should be in there and maybe the title should have something like Cree & Luminus LED Data sheet thread.... Or something like that, or not. Just thinking out loud.

Thanks for making the thread. Honestly, I never would have thought of something like this.

42

The reason I can't add the Z7 is there is no lumen testing on it that I know of. I guess I could use the emitter lumens...

43

Thanks Scaru! Great info in a tidy package!!! A Christmas present for all of us!!!

Dan.

44

Links to all of the LEDs and their datasheets added. Does anyone have a link to the SSC-P7 datasheet? The one on their website was taken down.

45

Binning

46

Very Informative. Ty Scaru.

47

Adding it now, thanks OL!

48

Do you guys think I should add MC-E/SST-50/SST-90?

49

I have SST-50 and SST-90, and don’t know anything about them. SST-50 neutral.

50

My LED comparison thread with links. Scaru - this links to Illumination supply.

I think the SST-90 & 50 should be there, since they are still valid leds and still used. Probably the MC-E as well, but less so, since it's about dead.

51

Oops, I guess I had the wrong thing in my clipboard. Thanks for pointing that out OL. :) I just added the MC-E and I'll do SST-50 next.

52

A writeup on the SST-90 would be worthwhile. It’s wicked bright!

53

SST-50 added.

2 different data sheets on the SST-90, with graphs, if you need them.

55

Thanks, I already found them though. But in other news, SST-90 has now been added. :D

Any more suggestions on LEDs to add?

56

Thanks…pretty helpful.

Killer info, Scaru. But I would put an addendum on the SST-50 entry. I have watched my chief of police buddy in Virginia show off his, and without a doubt, most of his 800 lumen+ SST-50s died — all except one. Selfbuilt (I think) reviewed the M31 Triton and called it the brightest SST-50 made. I have searched far and wide and what I found seems to confirm what our own 2100 said about this emitter: that on paper it does well, but not in real life. I have yet to see one of these really excel, and doing so would require a chunk of an engine block for heatsinking and active cooling like in the Microfire Pioneer II version…

I guess it is little wonder why Olight opted for the SR51 (a U2 XM-L) over SR50, knowing this.
