[GB ended,discussion only] CRI > 80+ NICHIA 2000K-6500K [E21A/219B/219C/319A/144A/757GT-F1(Optisolis)]

Does not look like a multiple core LED at all. Thanks for sharing, good to know!

E21 has the same footprint as Cree XQ series.
If you can find a XQ board, you can put a E21 on it without any positioning problems.

I see the custom Armyteks listed on the site now. Does this mean the boards are coming in soon?

The boards will be shipped by this week or next week according to the latest factory update. The Armyteks still needs fine tuning especially for correct optics selection and reliable fastening method.

MCPCB shipped to Indonesia

Great news!

Interesting, thank you!

BTW have you ever seen triple or quad xqe boards?

Try to ask Mitko. I think he use XQE for some of his builds

Update 180118:
———
The VR16S1 and VR16SP4 MCPCBs are the store

- Clemence

Does the VR16SP4 work with the new cree LED’s? I might need to grab one of those so I can test the new Cree LED’s.

Not a perfect match but should be more than enough due to its excellent thermal properties. I posted the simulated picture of XD16 on VR16SP4 somewhere. With VR16S1 it fits better with full pads coverage

With E21A:

With XD16:

XD16 has bigger pads and wider gaps

(dream) may be 219C sm4070e will be re-stocked… I will buy 3-5 pcs
I have receive and tested 219B sw45k - best universal LED, but for some application of night vision he is slightly “cold”… Wish an 4000-4200 CCT and magenta tint

I can’t promise, seems it would be harder to get those sm4070e again. Those were only 100 pcs.

- Clemence

Will be in for some, too.

UPDATE 180122:

  • NVSWE21AT SM653-D240-R9080 shipped from Japan today

- Clemence

NVSWE21AT SM653-D240-R9080 has arrived

- Clemence

WoW

I have to order again.

I have never seen 6500K R9080!

oh-oh, I’m in the same boat, ordered some. I have not even received the last order of 2000K E21A’s :person_facepalming:

edit: I just tracked my last order (1 month ago) and it is still in Indonesia somewhere :frowning: (ordernr 10105)
