I had another question to those who have ordered LEDs for themselves: is there any way to tell the tint binning of the LEd you’re ordering? All I can tell is the flux bin, but not the tint bin (whether it slots in above or below the BBL)
For example, for a 4000k emitter one there is 5B, 5C, 5A, 5D.
I got a 2step 80cri 3000k XHP70.2 emitter in my L6 currently, but I’m not sure if its tint was worth the lumen tradeoff. It definitely doesn’t seem as nice as the XHP35HI in my Zebralight. (hotspot and corona are a tad greenish compared to spill— spill illluminates my hand as fleshy pink-neutral, while hotspot makes it orangy)
I was thinking getting a higher flux binned 4000k emitter would be nice, but only if I could minimize any green.
Also, do higher flux bins produce more green than lower flux bins?
Will there be any real world difference using a 70.2 in my L6 that I could notice? and is it possible to just buy a 70.2 on a star and just solder it on after removing the 70?
Wow, the difference is very visible to the eye, thanks for those shots. I'm going to get one and change the L6 with the smooth reflector. That link from mountain electronics doesn't show a star with the 70.2 attached. Is there anywhere else I can get one complete that you know of?
I used it in my CW Acebeam L30 because I wanted a neutral white tint, however it loses more than 400lm with the change (From 3650lm to 3240lm)
I think it’s an error and this led isn’t a P2 bin, it’s older.
According to CREE: P2 bin is only available in 5700k and 4000k. That would explain why my Stock Acebeam K30 5000k is warmer than the 5000k led from Kaidomain
