[GB ended, news update only] Last batch of 219B sw45k R9080 and sw40 R9080

I’ve only paid for 8x SW45k + 8x SW40 (16 total emitters),
but I see the list has me for 12x SW45k + 8x SW40 (20 total emitters).

Cheers

Thanks Mike, fixed

Payment sent for 12pcs SW40 plus international economy shipping.

Could you please mark, that I completed payment, and change the number of LEDs from 4 to 8 for sw45k?

I’ll convert all the order and make final correction in excel/gsheet. Posting and updating the orders via this thread is not as easy, especially with my vintage phone. Bear with me

No problem, just mentioned :slight_smile:

And thank you for bringing this under roof for us.

On a side note, if the sw45k will eventually run out, do you plan to stock some alternate 4500K-ish Nichia emitters with 3535 footprint? (I know, that for example, 319A is at most R8000, but could be useful, if someone seeks a balance between output and color fidelity)

The closest match to 219B D220 sw45k R9080 is E21A D220 sm4550e R9080. But this particular CCT/tint is only available in very small sample quantity (100 pcs at most) or …… approximately a million pcs. Those sextant binning is only made to order.
So, for our needs we will have to live with E21A D220 sm453 R9080 or cherry pick ourselves from the sm455 or sm457 reel. There’s another option: wait for special requests from big companies such as Panasonic, Toshiba, or GM.
FYI, Nichia made special 149AM R9080 (unavailable to normal public) specifically for Panasonic’s stadium lights. HD TV football broadcasting is a big business in Japan.

Switched the list to this Gsheet for easier updating and viewing. You can type in comment on the list if you think there’s something I need to know.

Im in

8x 45
2x40
1x intl shipping

There’s 219Bs and then theres these 219Bs :wink:

I think I ordered 6×sw40 instead of 3×sw40

I have both
I like the SW 40 9080 better, though it is slightly yellower than my picky self wants
I find the SW 45 way too pink, and unexpectedly, also way too violet

here is a comparison photo

its not a perfect example, but, it shows the violet of the sw45

shining on the palm of my hand, the sw45 is ridiculously too pink compared to the sw40. again not a perfect example, but you get some idea:

My solution to which is better, is to get both and then decide. I find I usually choose not to use the sw45, and mostly choose the sw40. The exception where I choose the sw45 first, is during the day, when the environment is brighter. But now that I know the violet cast is there, I notice it all the time.

I know a lot of people think the sw45 is the ultimate, and for the selection they have, it probably is. But imho, the SW40 is “better”

when in doubt, definitely get both :slight_smile:

one more, this one shows the sw45, w a sw40 9050 and sm40 9050… but the 4000k units are representative of the sw40 9080 compared to the sw45 9080, relatively speaking

Fixed

I guess I’ve fixed all those error entries in the sheet. Do you think it’s OK to end the GB by 180530? Or should we extend it by one more week?
600-700pcs of those 219Bs should be enough.

- Clemence

Extend it. I know a lot of people still want the 219B before it goes out of existence until the 219C R9080 finally comes to market.

I had a conversation with a friend and there was a thing or two I also want to share here…

Thanks for the good gesture but please use “goods and service” for some reasons:

- It’s against PP policy

- Safer for you (who knows Annunaki would kidnap me one of these days?)

  • I already calculated all the duty tax, fees, coffees, handling, etc… for all the items I sell here :wink:

- Clemence

Anyone?

Just sent payment for (12) sw45k + $5 shipping.

Thanks for putting this together.

I have no issues with the extension by one more week.

Extend the group buy date. I think many people will appreciate it.
