@clemence, lighting up a meal with HCRI is always fun, I think it might even taste more delicious.
@Texas Ace, tint snob Lol. Is it really bad to want light similar to our sunlight.
Now when you get tired of the 90+ CRI and start craving 200-300CRI then we can talk snobbery.
@Gunga, 90% is impressive, it’s good to have at least one light not HCRI in our collection to put things in perspective.
Yeah I have to admit I’m really starting to dig these Nichias too! For personal EDC lights they can’t be beat, Ive gone as warm as 5000k and now 4500k’s and I’m liking them alot, so much so I’m starting to dislike 5700k’s,
I must be getting…. :person_facepalming:
Actually, to my eyes, the 9050 5700K is the closest to (tropical) sunlight. Just a bit more cyan and UV is all it needs to almost indiscernible to daylit.
That’s why I keep them in stock even it’s not the popular choice here. Many video/photographers in my circle really appreciate Nichia’s 9050 5700K among the other CCT.
@Chouster, 3 pcs of 319a are enough. I just want to make a triple, and bought 5 because I have no reflowing experience, so I am sorta worried about screwing something up. But I can just practice with the 5 219c I also have on the list.
There is no need to give me some of yours. You are working too hard on this to end up getting less leds than what you wanted.
Need cheap guinea pigs? I have a bunch of working ugly (literally as in chipped, partially dedomed, oxidized, etc…) used 3535 LEDs for you. These are my early LEDs
XP-G, XT-E, XP-E2 (pristine, removed from the Fenix E05s).
I always keep the XP-G for my standard because I know exactly what is the bin, widely known. Tons of MIC flashlights are still using it. I bought 250 pcs of them in cut reel from WPG in 2008.
Thanks, but I think I will be fine. I’ll try and reflow a few xm-l2 I have leftover from some convoys, for practice. Can’t be too different. I also have some xp-l and a 219b 5700k nichia that I don’t plan to use in anything. I’ll also use those as guinea pigs.
Hello , I don’t know if this is ok to ask here,- but I’ve just missed out on this batch by so close, and need just 3 219b 4500 9080 if anyone has any going spare please.
I have a triple build plan already in action.
I’m willing to cover extra costs!.
