Sorry to disappoint you guys. Nichia just dropped my request. 3 steps is the best we can get. The special order request is just too small for such a tight bin
And I’m not going to purchase a full reel of sm5750e D220 9050 219C (the flux rank available for that bin)
Let’s drink the beer
Let’s see how long I can supply these exotic Nichias. There are rules to be followed …
This was really just a hobby for me too. But I have to turn it into professional manufacturing to keep it going.
Pre-order can only works if the custom is predictable. Learnt from many shipments in the past, won’t promise until they’re on my hands. And mount Agung eruption makes it even uncertain. It’s currently calming down but the seismic activity isn’t. Constant rumbling deep inside the earth and frequent earthquakes (hundreds per day) indicate there will be bigger eruption to come.
Unfortunately the sm653 9080 E21A isn’t there yet.
I bet you’re going to make another cuddling mode flashlight. The output of sm203 9050 E21A only topped at D180. And Nichia couldn’t guarantee the availability of D180. These reel is a mix of D160 and D180 according the the PO. Hopefully you don’t get too much variations. I hope the variation would be gradual between LEDS next to each other.
