Great results, maukka! Thanks a lot for your measurements, very helpful!
Absolutely fantastic results.
Thanks maukka!
I really want to get some of those R9080…
GREAT thanks Maukka!! :laughing:
Looks very good. Especially the 144AM. I wasn’t wrong about them
Interested in testing the 319As and NVSL219B-V1 sw40? I’ll ask Chouster to send them to you later
EDIT: I’m not a fan of 219B tint, but I never thought the CRI result is super amazing. Now I know why this one is so special for you guys.

Great data maukka!
Did anyone yet put a high CRI 144A in a flashlight with smooth reflector yet? My single sample produces an ugly yellow spot in the center of the hotspot, but it has a slightly uneven phosfor layer, perhaps other’s leds are better?
OMD Jos, you use that egg yolk in your flashlight? :person_facepalming:
I’ll get you a normal one later. Which CCT? Let me know
Cheeers,
Clemence
Is there a common way to test the LED without reflowing it? I do not want to start my reflowing career with this emitter… Power supply is available.
No no, don’t worry, this is another led with a much better phosfor distribution. But even a slightly uneven distribution with the phosfor just a bit thicker (=more yellow) towards the center (my led) already produces the effect in a smooth reflector (have not tried OP yet).
Ahhh, I see…
Yes, smooth reflectors aren’t the 144Ax mates. I tried them in my predator’s reflector, many narrow TIRs, big reflectors, etc…always a slightly yellow center spot. Fixed easily with even very mild 5 degree diffuser. All medium, wide, and diffused optics worked great. I’m sure OP reflector will do OK since this the artifacts in 144Ax are much less problematic than XHP50
Very nice test, thank you Maukka!
Results of the 219B-V1 R9080 are stunning.
But all LEDs tested here perform well above specs. 219C sm573 even achieves R9080-specs, sm503 very, very close.
Couster, i’ve got my LEDs in too. :+1:
Thanks guys.
Nice.
interested for 6x NVSL219B-V1 9080 sw40
(or 3x NVSL219B-V1 9080 sw40 + 3x NVSL219B-V1 9080 sw45)

thanks, Maukka ! nice tests.
Aha, i knew i would have to order more the next time…
I’ll have to take 5 or 6 of the sw40 too of course… :partying_face:
it’s never gonna end, is it? :person_facepalming:
Ok, I just put the 144A in an insulation gasket and tested it with 50 mA from my power supply (sorry for not taking pictures, but I needed all of my hands):
- With aConvoy C8 OP reflector there is a very visible yellow spot in the center of the hotspot.
- With this 52.7 x 57 mm SMO reflector the hotspot is much more intense and there is only a little bit of yellow seen on a white wall.
I guess that the deep reflector directs more light into the hotspot and thus mixes the colors better. When you optimize the focal distance it might become completely invisible, only I do not have the equipment to try that.
My 144A shall go into a McR-27S reflector that I am currently waiting for. When it arrives, I will appentd my findings.
Thanks for the report tuelleric, it is hopeful that the 144A works well in some reflectors.
Thank you to all the organizers/distributors for making these Nichias available! :+1:
I missed out on the first sale, but managed to score a couple of 9080 SW45s and put one in a Zebralight H51 headlamp. It’s gorgeous!
Now I want to fill a Meteor M43 with them. I’m sure I’ll drop some into a few other lights as well.
I’ll need about 15 more 9080 SW45 emitters please! 
I see the m43 being the perfect host for these 9080 LED’s. That way you have enough of them to get some good output and it would make a truly amazing photo light.
I took a few pictures today with my triple 9080 and the color is fantastic. It really does make every other LED I own look bad.
Got my LEDS today? A couple mods planned for tomorrow. Need to find a suitable host to try the 9080!
Is there any beamshots so far of 9080?.
Mine are going into a triple s2+
Thanks.

Got my McR-27S today. The hotspot also has a light yellow center, but not as pronounced as with the C8 OP reflector. Maybe the XM-L gasket that I use does not adjust the 144A in the optimum focal distance. I still have to check that.
