Placed an order for a green nichia D4 thru Int Outdoor. How long to the U.S. Is the shipping? I’m not in a huge hurry, I got the fabulous astrolux s42 to play with! WTF were they thinking?
I really don’t know Gunga, it’s a nice fit and the ramp at the end of the clip mates up nice with the head, but if you don’t hold it out slightly when removing the tube from the head for a battery change it’ll scratch the head. (Of course, the tail cap is also removable)
I’ll be going to a shorty tube as soon as it arrives…
(allcool appears to be ‘in the know’. Can u imagine someone not ‘in the know’ trying to figure out that reply?) I’ve been around here over 6 years now and I don’t know what it means.
Purchased mine on July 30th. I have not received the light and tracking info shows no movement. I have emailed Hank several times with no response. I have no idea what the status of my order is. I don’t get it.
I ordered my Nichia from Int on the 31st. Mine says preparing to ship from Singapore as well. That was updated on the 11th. No updates since then. Wish there was an option for faster shipping. XPL-HI from Mtn came in like 2 or 3 days lol. But having ordered plenty of stuff from CN, I’ve learned to be patient. A month is longer than average but not unusual.
Sounds like we’re in the same boat. Nice to hear that this is not uncommon. I am really looking forward to the arrival of my 219 D4. I am sure it will be worth the wait.
XP-L Hi V3 1A CW 6500K on the way! :partying_face:
Originally wanted a Nichia 219CT 83CRI 5000K but changed my mind. I think maybe bcos of lower temperature & higher lumen output. Anyone here think XP-L CW is a bad choice? at $18 bucks extra am seriously need to go FL rehab soon :person_facepalming:
Well, it’s not something I would have picked, nor would most others here in terms of color temperature.
If you went with cool white over neutral white in the XP-L HI just for the difference in output, then I think that was a bit silly. One flux bin is around 7% output, which is less than you can detect without instruments. Accepting worse tint, if your tint preferences are in line with the majority here for an output difference you can’t even see doesn’t sound good to me.
On the other hand, if you like cool white, there’s nothing wrong with that option.
