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.
Those E21 Nichias, I understand that dedicated boards are on their way, but I wonder if these LEDs have been used with existing boards? I am really interested in domeless high cri LEDs, the 083b being my grail at the moment.
