Hyvää iltaa maukka,
and thank you for your report.
To all other, I am sure maukka´s calibrated reference is more correct than mine (none calibrated value with a conversion factor of 26.47.) but I will give you the numbers I have from today when my XP-G3 arrived.
I used eight ORBTRONIC ORB25 (fully charged) for this check (IR 26-30), but this is only «fire up» values, not 30sec out.
- and yes, I can burn the light in both ends it works very well…
So here comes the number, both from the 219C and the XP-G3
So no matter how we turn the numbers, they are going in all directions, both between my number and maukka´s number.
Also level vice with reference to the advertised number.
So most probably there will be differences from light to light also!!??
Hope there are some use for my number whether they are right or wrong.
@maukka Thank you for sharing your >90 CRI test results!!! I didn't even know 90CRI 219C emitter existed in the first place. No wonder my sample tint looks more pleasing than my triple 219C 80CRI built.
Is it same high CRI Nicia 219c for next wave?
I don’t see BG write anything about CRI in the specs.
Does it happens they swap LEDs between batches?
Example, everyone loves the first batch of this light and they write how awesome it is and the maker of the light see a opportunity to save a few bucks by swapping to lower CRI Nicia 219c.
Just wondering if that is something that usually happens since not many people can measure the CRI value and some are just after the lumens so they don’t care much about the CRI.
I also have 25R and it doesn’t performs as good as 30Q and HG2, cant wait for Maukka to use brand New VTC6.
Love hearing that is is using 90CRI Nichias. awesome still too white for my though.
