[SALE] High CRI 90+ Nichias (ENDED)

I think I prefer sw40

Where did you get this information?

Chouster overlayed Cree’s binning chart over Nichia’s. Just like what he did for us in the OP.

Payment sent to Djozz for 10 leds and 5 boards.

Update 161226: The sm453 144AM from Japan already received in DHL Denpasar - Bali. Will be delivered to my place tomorrow.

Can you test one to check for the “Spiegelei”-problem?

I will do that tomorrow when I have them. Don’t worry, I won’t export egg yolks to you guys. :smiley:

Package arrived today. :slight_smile:

Looking forward to the SM453 144AM.

Nice Jerommel, I hope the other packages will arrive well too.

Had time to do a quick mod with the 219C SM353 and I like it an awful lot, my new favorite led. Like the 5000K 219C that has been around for a while, it behaves well in reflector lights.



Could not find the right white balance, the light is warm-ish but not this warm.

Hi Jos,

For your reference……

That looks good clemence, but my (Xperia Z3 compact) phone camera does not let me set a colour temperature for the white balance, just a random choice of 5 standard settings, plus an ‘auto’ setting that sometimes does the right thing but more often not.

Oh wow, that does look nice. I skipped the 353 because I thought it would be too close to the 403 to be worth fooling with, so I went with the 305 instead. Maybe I was wrong. Next time…

I’m still using Xperia V. It’s an ancient phone before the Z era. Often when I don’t have my Olympus EM5 in hand I use camera FV-5 application. Much better control than the sluggish OEM camera application. Sent you the link via Whatsapp

I finally got around to posting up the results of my output tests with the 4000k emitters, they are basically the same as the 83cri test djozz ran before but with a bit lower output naturally. I had the test setup out and figured I might as well see what they can do.

I made up a bunch of S2’s with these LED’s for Christmas gifts and they turned out great, I am also using it in my EDC now as well. With the OP S2 Reflector it is a good beam and tint but with a TIR it is simply stunning. Something about how the TIR mixes the beam just makes things look even better. This is part of why I prefer TIR’s in most lights. If I want flood then I will pull out a mixed tint triple :sunglasses:

Nice to see the 219C R9050 sm57x/sm50x listed!

Soooo, true. I’m a fan of TIR too. Will try the 67mm Gaggione thrower optics later

Indeed =)
How’s the light bar project? I made some drawings for you earlier

Interesting!
I like TIR optics too.
but which ones to buy…???

What’s your application? What size?
I got all my Gaggiones from Supreme Components Singapore: http://supremecomponents.com/
And they’re not cheap :cry:
