UPDATE 180714:

- All non XP16 orders dropped at the post office today. The tracking numbers will follow tomorrow.

- XP16 orders processing will start tomorrow (received the XP16 from Hank yesterday)

--------

UPDATE 180711:

Most of the orders shipped today. I'm a bit overwhelmed by this GB and the store orders at the same time, so please bear with me. How to track your order:

  • Check if the status HERE, if its green highlighted as "packed & shipped" then....
  • PM me for your tracking number. It's too confusing for me to email one by one because of the username and real Paypal names involved.
  • RRxxxxxxxxxxID = Registered Economy, EExxxxxxxxxxID = EMS

-----

UPDATE 180630:

Packet delivered!

-----

UPDATE 180629:

-----

UPDATE 180611:
Because of Optisolis shortage my PO could not be processed (PO combined with these 219Bs). There's also long national holiday in Indonesia (Idul Fitri) from 1806(11-21). The PO will be processed after 180621.

-----

UPDATE 180605: PO already sent to Nichia early at 180604, 17:00, GMT +8. Included in the PO was 1400 pcs of 219Bs (700 pcs each). I will transfer the money by 180607 (Paypal needs 2 working days for the money transfer).

-----

I will stop taking order beyond that time. You can purchase the LEDs later via the store (if there's any leftover)

ORIGINAL POST

---------------

Friends,

As I mentioned months ago, perhaps some of you knew it already. These LEDs are now officially discontinued from Nichia website. But my friend in Nichia told me there are few hundreds left. I don't have the need for these LED unlike most tint snobs here. I received lots of PM about getting them back to the store. I don't want to overstock them hence this group buy.

We have to meet at least 400pcs order of both sw45k and/or sw40. The price will be USD 2,8/pc in this group buy. After that it will get back to the normal USD 4 via my store.

I will keep the GB open for 14 days. Lead time is 3-5 working days, 3 days delivery from JPN to ID, 5-14 ID days custom clearance, 4 - 26 days delivery to your address (vary by chosen shipping service).

Shipping

International economy service: USD 5

International economy service to middle east countries: USD 5 (listed as red zone for unreliable delivery by Indonesia postal service). No warranty/insurance.

International EMS: send me PM for shipping cost

Domestic economy service: USD 2

To save shipping cost and time. You can arrange your own local group buy with your local friends and use faster EMS service (last month it was as fast as 3 days from ID to US!)

This is a committed GB so you have to pay in advance. I'll put paid orders in the listing here (down below). In any case the minimum 400pcs can't be met, I'll refund your money.

Payment method

International: Paypal virence.cle@gmail.com

Indonesia: Paypal or bank transfer to BCA 2821123315 (USD 1 = IDR 14.000)

Thanks,

Clemence

ORDER LIST (you can type comment on it):

How do you want us to make our purchase and send you our purchase information? If using paypal, send payment with our order information? PM you with our order? Or purchase from your store?

Please tell me your BLF username in the Paypal payment.

- Clemence

No, just wire the money directly to my Paypal address above using “pay for goods and service”. Don’t forget to include the order message. You can’t purchase it via the store, there’s none there.
I’ll update the listing daily

- Clemence

Can I get a few things from the store and combine the shipping with this?

Yes just remember to put notes in your Paypal payment

PayPal and PM sent.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Why do people prefer the 219B to the 219C? Does the 219B have a better tint but lower efficiency?

It has way better tint and 9080. 219C only go up to 9050 and have yellowish/greenish tint compared to the 219B. I have over a dozen 219C 90CRI flashlights and their tint is not bad but not stellar.

219Cs do go up to R9080.

They are even rarer than 219Bs R9080.

9050 is the minimum. Actual measurement (by Maukka) 219C sm503 showed 9080. Slight difference from the actual measurement of 219B SW45K at 9797. The huge difference is the CCT & tint combination. Nichia doesn’t make 4500K 219C 9050

Pay Pal sent for 10, Nichia SW45K emmitters shipped to USA.

Paypal sent for 4 sw45k and some other things from the store. I did not know if I should place an order and refer to that or just note what my order would have been, so I just wrote my order in paypal.

PM me your PayPal name. Couldn’t find anyone with combined payment for this GB and store purchases.

- Clemence

Why do you do this to me? Rent is due in a week, but screw it. I’ll be ordering shortly.

:laughing:
I’ll save some for you later if you want to. You don’t have to buy them right now. Seriously, how many pcs to keep?

- Clemence

I found sm453 in the 219C Nichia doc:
http://www.nichia.co.jp/specification/products/led_spec/NVSL219CT-E(3484F)R70%20R8000%20R9050.pdf

Only bummer is, that it is just available in R8000, not in R9050. It is weird, because they offer R9050 in sm503, and sm573, too - I don't understand, why they don't make it in sm453.

Paid (paypal) for 6x 219B sw40 R9080 + intl shipping. Thnx!

Payment received Geuzzz.

Looks like we’re very close to the 400 pcs total target. I will wait for a full week before closing this GB

- Clemence

for me: 5*sw45k + 10*sw40 + $5, paid already, thanks! :slight_smile:
