I’m finding the SST-40 to rock! Gained some 3,000 lumens putting 3 of em in my SupFire M6 over the XM-L2. Sweet, I can live with the color at this point, til they come out with better ones. :wink:

That’s 5,000+ lumens bumped to 8,866 lumens. :smiley: The only thing I changed aside from emitters is that I re-flashed the MCU with TK’s ramping firmware.

I wonder what they can do in the Q8 or are the xpl’s already close to the sst-40? IDK.

SST-40 will put out more lumens than XP-L due to the lower vF. It's like the 219C but in an XM-L2 package....low vF = lotsofamps. :-)

Will you be restocking SST-40’s?

They never went out of stock. I still have some and have a lot more on the way.

I found it by searching, but it had nothing under the SST-40 section in the LED menu.

It’s under led…

Any idea when you might have 30Q and Aspire cells?

30Q...in a week or so. Aspire? Who knows. I placed another order right after we received the last one weeks ago...they seem to take a while to ship. My guess is another week or so.

That C8 host with the SST40 is a really nice light Richard, it really grows on you and I normally don’t like CW’s but this CW seems softer I think it doesn’t seem as hard on my eyes, neutral tints will be very nice in this emitter.
Has anyone tried the Nichia 319AT D440’s 5000K on a Mt. quad in the D4 yet.?
I’m wondering if it will all fit together under the Carclo without any modding or if anyone knows of some unforeseen situations with the D4 and this LED.

Yes… sst40 tint is nice… I just got the acebeam x60 with the sst40 dome on… here is the indoor beamshot…

MTN Quad will fit in the D4 with no modifications---I have put them in several lights. The 319AT fits under the Carclo optics.

Any thoughts on the Luxeon V? Would like to see these become more available as they seem like a great alternative to XP-L2. Biggest drawback right now are DTP boards. XP boards can work, but are right on the edge, and won’t realize full heat dissipation.

I tried the 319 with it’s hexagonal die on Richards Quad board and in the D4, didn’t particularly like the beam profile or tint to be honest. Pulled em out and went with a 4th choice. (yes, I tried XP-G2, 219C, 319, and XP-E2 Green)

I am getting some Luxeon V samples. May take a while before I commit to buying DTP boards.

Glad to hear you’re getting some samples anyhow! Even to get them reflowed onto XP boards reliably would be great for now, and would at least give an idea of the demand for them before committing to custom boards. I have considered trying to do some myself, but my reflow setup probably isn’t up to the task with how tight they looked in djozz’s pictures.

Thanks all for the info,

Just another opinion here, but I didn’t much care for 319a’s under Carclo optics either. They’re beautiful under the big Ledil SS optics though.

I am looking for the 4 SS Ledil in 24mm after seeing your comment, thank you, and I can’t seem to find a cute 4 SS Ledil under 35mm or so, do you know if they are even available in 24mm for the D4 or am I just wasting time.
Thanks however for that information Emarkd, I was thinking of trying the 314’s under the Carclo 623 and see if a wider spot enhances the emitters characteristics and tint better than what Dale referred to and being he has a photographers eye I’m inclined to believe it didn’t look good at all assuming he was using the stock Carclo 621 as well.
Frankly not even sure why I’m even wanting to change anything, it’s certainly not necessary as I think all the beam profiles and tints look great on all the D4’s I bought,
I think it’s just that BLFer thing, If it looks great and works great, then lets fix it…?

I like the look of the 219 in the D4, the XP-L HI or XP-L2 should do well with it too.

Running a 24mm Optic it’s either Carclo or Khatod when it comes to quads. The Khatod is taller, might now work well with the D4. It does have a nicer spot though.
