BLF Q8 4040/5050 copper DTP boards arrived:

I will send two to djozz to check if everything is ok.

Also, 20mm copper DTP 3535 board(70um copper,gold plated top,nickel plated bottom):

Price is: 1,17€/pc , I will list it on web tomorrow (contact for larger quantity discounts).

I can check the Q8 boards but I assume they are ok, they look good. I will check the Q8 board with Luxeon V’s, but I have only two left, could you send 2 Luxeon V leds with the boards? (I will pay for them).

I do not own SST40 leds but I can check the 5050 pads with XM-L2 leds if that is ok with you, for checking the function of the board that should be sufficient. If not I can order some SST40 leds but that will take a while.

exciting

Wow, that’s fast. I expected it that it would be a while before you had the Q8 boards ready. How soon can we expect the triple 4040 32mm boards?

@djozz

I already packed 2 boards and 4 L1V1s. 5050 checking is not necessary, if 4040 are good, 5050 will be too.

~3-4weeks,and not just triples.

That’s some fast turnaround time. I guess I’ll be making another order in a month or so.

Very nice looking MCPCB’s, looking forward to trying the Q8 with Luxeon V’s or one of my favorite the XM-L2 7A3 CRI90.

@LED4Power, have you thought about doing Nichia 144AM MCPCBs?

I would love a 20mm Nichia 144AM MCPCB.

I think BLF member clemence has those?

No, not a 20mm version yet.

I'm not sure about demand?

Added new pcbs:

Q8 pcb is out of stock until djozz checks if it's ok.

Nice.

Also ordered one reel of Samsung LH351D 4000K 90CRI few days ago, they should be available in ~3 weeks.

Nice ! I will get a good amount of them :slight_smile:

I see in few BLF threads people expressed need for BLF GT XHP70 DTP MCPCB. I can make them,just like BLF Q8 PCB, is there bigger interest(100pcs+)?

If yes,I can make a batch, available in ~1month.

If there is any other interesting MCPCB, I can also consider it.

As seen in his video, (at 1.45 minute) vestureofblood has used a prototype of such a board (with TA logo) in his XHP70.2 GT, the idea I think is that Lumintop at some point will come up with either a XHP70.2 GT or the loose board (and driver). There is no mention of a timeline for when things are happening but the question I guess is if there is a market for two sources for such a board. (perhaps you can contact Texas_Ace about what is going on) .

For me personally I’d be really happy if in a month or so there is a board ready, I have a driver and a led, I’m just waiting for a board now, and I’d be surprised if a Lumintop board will be ready a month from now.

Edit: Btw, I got the Q8 boards and leds in, just waiting for some time to swap them in a Q8 and check the fit and numbers.

My family was gentle on me today and allowed some time to try the led4power Q8 board in a Q8. I posted it in the WDYMT thread. In short, it works fine and the Q8 with Luxeon V leds rocks!

So I’m not up to date on the latest emitters, especially non cree emitters. There may be a better option coming soon. Seemed to be the case as I read some of the previous comments a day or two ago. I’m wondering however, if there would be enough interest in a 16mm board for the OSRAM black flat.
