I could meet some fake sellers with “zebralight” name. Somebody register them, and yes seems that they can be blocked by request. There was several accounts with *fire cell set.
I dont believe in ZL owner tint preferences. Nichia leds have another quality level, neverless tint or cri. Leds are always clean, perfectly centered, electrical properties range is very slim. But who wants to deal with them, if they dont provide whosale discount while another company can make unbeatable offer?
Oh man that’s crazy great. Have you had a chance to test anymore? I tried the 6500k and it is stunning. Have a 2000k and 3000/4000 mix in the wings but need a host. These E21As are great.
Wow guaranteed below BBL and all bars above 90 seems to suggest this will be the king of good tint/cri emitters. Where do you buy these emitters? How does it perform besides tint and cri?
Jon, here is the binning for the 3000k Oslon tested. Not good, still trying to learn Osram’s naming schemes for these products to see which generation fits in where.
Those leds are great, of that (old first gen. Square) type I have a 3500K 80CRI led in a copper AA Maratac and the tint and beam are wonderful. They knew their tints back then.
Mind though that the ebay seller shows a 2nd generation Square in the picture while the type-nrs for sale are the older and worse performing first generation Square (but with that wonderful tint). With the second gen. Square came the green-ish tints in the high CRI versions.
darn, so, in general they could be above or below, but if you can specifically buy 6q and 6u, then its a win
now Im confused again, are you saying the LEDs that staticx57 linked have green tint? Doesnt the specific bin they list guarantee the tint will be below the BBL?
Im much more interested in High CRI than High brightness.
and please, lets only talk about High CRI, and skip the 80 cri discussion here. I want to stay focused on LEDs with High R9 values, not just high CRI values, and not LEDs with less than 90 CRI and less than R9 values of at least 80.
so far, my pick would be a Nichia sw40 9080… costs less than Oslon, and the tint bin is not above bbl
so the ones you posted in post 55 are gen1 (all bars above 90)
and the one barkuti posted in post 49 is gen2? (all bars below 90 except green)
my confusion relates to which post has which generation, and which ebay link goes with the one barkuti posted, and which ebay link is like the one maukka calls the green one, gen2?
green lantern tangent
it seems any time an LED is manufactured to be more efficient (bright), it is also greener
as if brighter and greener go hand in hand
I see this with the N219c also, it is brighter and greener
many people dont notice green tint, especially if their eyes are daylight adapted at the time
sometimes it sucks to be a snob, it made me not want the S1 Mini High CRI, cause I saw maukkas green tint photos, and they are true in real life too, when my brain is adapted to incandescent… Lee minus green filters for the Win! I dont mind trading lumens for Tint
