100X Nichia 219C Flood Light?

Would it be possible to create a light with something like 100X Nichia 219c’s? I imagine a grid of 10X10 LED’s all run at low current (0.2amps). This would allow for taking advantage of the high efficiencies seen at low currents:

(All of this data is gleaned from Djozz’s review here, numbers could be off by ~10%)

Although the material costs would be high (~$100 in emitters alone), I think the performance might justify the costs:

Looking at the extreme low end, it looks possible to me to create a light at bright as a meteor that never steps down (0.1A Per emitter, 6,600Lm). On the high end it might be possible to see 25,000 lumens.

To simplify construction it could just be a simple flood light, no optics at all. It could probably be put into a package with a form factor similar to the MF-01.

Any thoughts on whether this would work?

humm love the emitter but.

which will be more flexible aka more use.

10 lights with 10 each

or one with one hundred?

I am all for more nichia flood/mule lights but lets work up to 100

heck id be happy with the D7.

You’ll need 100 optics too if you want to get rid of the tint shift and / or bundle the light.
That would mean 100 TIR optics, but they’re not expensive.

I’d go for 10 arrays of 10 emitters too.
Or 5 of 20, 4 of 25 maybe.

Where do you get 100x Nichia 219C for only $100.— ?

Vinh does have a prototype utilizing this theory:
