For your information:
The nearest reliable post office located 23km from the workshop, thus I normally only ship twice a week (monday & thursday).
Correct, this is the only true “earth day” in the world I know.
You can see the milky way clearly at night. No sounds but from the animals and babies. Very clean and fresh air like those found in virgin forest. Bali usually saved hundreds tonnes of fossil fuel during this day.
Can you talk more about this LED? How similar is it to candle light?
I once had a light with a de-domed XP-G 3000K 90CRI and it was just terribly orange.
I have an old Novatac Wichita which has a special driver (like in the HDS lights) with very low modes. It seems like a good match for this LED. The lowest mode actually flickers a bit, so I would even have the candle part covered :D.
It obviously makes sense to put this LED into smaller, dimmer or very floody lights because of the low color temperature, as shown by the Kruithoff Curve.
eehm, it is very orange, a flame is very orange too. and the sun during sunset. I will make a picture tonight, next to a candle (no sunset tonight, it is very grey outside).
Hahaha, using any kind of lighting outside the house you’ll get fined ($10/head/act), arrested, and probably beaten using rattan stick by the Pecalang “traditional policemen” (it’s legal by hindu law here). Non hindu people still can enjoy anything inside the house or the hotel as long as there are no lights, noise, activities detected from the outside.
But I’m lucky since in my area non hindu people are working together night guarding the neighborhood, helping those Pecalangs. A perfect time to make use all those flashlights. Unfortunately, taking beam shots would be very inappropriate :laughing:
This is from two years ago. Taken just outside the house:
What kind of optic is appropriate for the 144A? I know some of the first 6V samples had pretty impressive egg yolk, but my recent samples still make a huge yellow-green dot with a clear TIR optic (the famously crappy stock Prime one).
Funny you mention that, ’cause I got a few LED lanterns from Amazon for exactly that, swapping out the craptastic Angry Blue™ LEDs with some nice 2000K LEDs scavenged from strip-lights.
No flicker, gonna use it probably with the come-with “volume control” circuit, or at least just the potentiometer from it.
