LED test / review - LMP W5050SQ3 (3000 K, 70 CRI) - warm white round-die LED with high luminance

Hopefully in the next weeks. Since the first sample was destroyed while testing I have to reflow and test another one.

1 Thank

I just ordered several of these (and a 6500K to try). These seem very promising - much better performance than the FFL505A and much better efficiency than the SFT-40 3000K. I have recently started playing around with those other two LEDs so I’m really looking forward to these LMP ones. Thanks for the test!

Which is not surprising at all since the FFL505A is way too reddish and the SFT-40 3000 K has also the problem due to high CRI. Lower CRI emitters are always better than it’s high CRI counterparts (except for those with horrible flux binnings)…

That my first sample of 6500 K burned is not a good sign. There was no flux residue on the LES. It looked more or less the same as with the XHP50.3 HI I tested last year.
