Hi , I am back. I was deep in the mountains of the Caucasus. Now I am on the way to Moscow. I will answer all PM a bit later.
About led.
I have only few 351B. And all of them reserved by BlueSwordM , and several for DBSAR.
I think I’ ll get more 351B next week.
To get 351D it is necessary to order 800pcs+ for each CCT.
Package was at customs for several days and even opened and sealed again. But went through it without further ado. As AEDe sent registered I could track it all the time and always saw the status. :+1:
The heads up with the sticky tape was extremely important (whoever brought it up: THANKS). My LEDs would have flown in all directions…
Received my package a couple days ago, nice stuff.
I plan on using 12 LH351Ds for home lighting, and 3 for torches. Technically a spare one is left, and a standard letter to france costs me €1.65 at the post office if I'm not mistaken. -X3-, if interested let me know.
Since I haven't had the time to work on the light I want to put most of these 351D's in, I dropped 4 in a Q8. I don't have a way to measure output due to recent mods to my now uncalibrated integrated tube. I would estimate I lost 2K or more lumens from the 7K I was getting. But the 4-5K lumens that remain are beautimus indeed. I hope they can improve the emitter to have the same glorious tint/cri at lower output levels, but for now I've very happy with this emitter.
I like my LH351D Q8 very much too. With this led you will have to get used a bit to somewhat less red in the tint in the lower output levels, but the CRI is still very good so when not whitewall hunting the light it gives is more than fine even at low current.
Yes, I totally agree. The low output light is still very excellent. I pretty much use the lowest 1 to 3 modes in all my lights 99% of the time. The color that pops back at me even at moonlight level keeps surprising me. I'm a very happy camper.
Frosted optics vs. stock reflectors is not the most "fair" comparison because frosted optics averages beam pretty well, while reflectors/spot tirs amplify color over angle tint shifts and other non-perfections.
Next monday I ’ll get 300pcs 351B 3000K 90cri. About 351D. I just received the information that 351D will be available in the end of May. Then the exact bin will be known. So you can again express your interest here and I’ll make a list.
