New 3535 Hex die LED from Nichia 309/319A

Interstiing, I would how they handle the heat, if they could be cranked up to ~~10-15A like the XHP series then it could be potent, doubt it though.


Thanks for taking the pictures!

Do I see a slight spiegelei here too?

And the three pictures on the bottom are beams from a reflector or a TIR optic?

Thatā€™s the test current. That highest possible forward current is 4.8 A.

Thatā€™s exactly what Nichia should come up with. And than a flat domed version like the MZ as well.

So the 319a is green. Like, really green. :confused:

Very narrow TIR with frosted center aspheric lens, Gaggione LLC49R. Its not spiegelei (well, very subtle) in reality, itā€™s a very cool looking hex projection.
With normal plain TIR optics, you can see the hex projection.

What do you expect from Ra7000 6500K? Itā€™s much much better than XPL 6200K CRI70.
:wink:

Ah, well it didnā€™t occur to me that those were the really cool ones. Hereā€™s hoping the 5000K neutrals areā€¦more neutral. :slight_smile:

Thanks for taking the time to test them for us.

Oooh, that 5000K 319a looks much better. Iā€™m anxious to try those myself. Thanks Clemence!

The secondaries used in above tests for those curious

I agree, canā€™t wait for those 5000k 319A to show up.

How do they dedome ? If possible ofc, pls try that if not when you have the time, its the thing that interests many of us most :slight_smile:

Later tonight :slight_smile:
I havenā€™t dedoming for years. The last one was XPG R5 in 2011. Hopefully I still have the skill.

Thanks alot, if the electrical /mech dedome fail pls try chemical

Its crusial for my needs

I will buy a dozen of those on their RTM anyway yet its a good thing to know what should we expect :slight_smile:

Itā€™s not as easy as XPG. The lens is not easily knocked off without some damage to the phosphor under my heat gun. So much different from the XPG with itā€™s auto dedome feature even on high temp setting hotplate.
Is slicing considered to be a dedoming? I prefer slicing thoughā€¦.from reliability POV

Thanks for your efforts m8, i will get 10+ pcs from those 6500k anyway but i was wondering will those be dedome freindly

We definately need some ā€œbetter XPGā€ :sunglasses: options, especialy after the XPG nerf

I think Nichia emitters have resisted heat-dedoming for a while now, havenā€™t they? Isnā€™t slicing the dome the preferred method for 219c too?

I have sliced a for 219cā€™s, they do increase the intensity with minor effects on tint and output.
