I have 4 flashlights in heavy use (including 2x skilhunts h02) for 3 years, my brother also 2x skilhunts. Suddenly, two weeks ago, I realized, that I want much better light quality than the ordinary green xm-l2 t6-4c. I tried Nichia 219B 9050 5000K from Astrolux A01, but it has green tint too, green on all my three a01. Anyway, the difference was so immense, that I installed nichia from it to my skilhunt on a01 14mm board “as is”. Planned to go to Kaidomain for their ordinary 219C 9050 (or what they are selling)… Thankfully, AED gave me a hint about GB on BLF with such unique stuff :slight_smile: that’s why I am here

I thought about Nichia E21 9080 5000K from Clemence, but is appears to be too expensive, 4x led + star + reflow, more than 20usd, and I need at least 2 of them, or 4. Will try more usual 219.

ps I only now discovered, that paypal charges fixed fee from every transaction. Sorry Clemence, I will be more responsible in the future.

UPDATE 180611:
Because of Optisolis shortage my PO could not be processed (PO combined with these 219Bs). And then, there’s this long national holiday in Indonesia (Idul Fitri) from 1806(11-21). I got a confirmation that the PO will be processed after 180621.

UPDATE 180611:
PO processed, all LEDs are available and order secured. Now I have to find a way to complete the payment. The easiest way is via Singapore since all the banks are closed until 180621.

Yikes. I’m not even sure I’d know where to start :slight_smile:

Thanks for doing this for us :+1:

I just hope that Clemence does it a bit for himself too and makes some sort of living out of it.

That’s always been the idea. But every time I got extras, the fund always goes to another project. This time ALL the extra funds goes directly to the two new 20mm boards prototyping cost (which always very expensive). The last time I spent USD 1.540 + USD 770 duty tax just for 60 pcs prototypes (those VR16S1 and VR16SP4). Fortunately they work very well.

I guess unless Nichia pausing for a year in producing new variants, this will be a never ending cycle for me. But don’t worry, the general lighting and street lights business has been relatively thriving this year, I’ll live.

Can’t wait for mine to arrive :smiley:

Anyway, does anyone have the latest 219b datasheet? Can’t get the datasheet from Nichia anymore.

186

Here ya go:

We’re lucky, the airport is now closed due to mount Agung eruption (again). The packet arrived yesterday.
This means there’s a chance of delayed outbond shipping.

- Clemence

188

Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

I read the news about the eruption. I hope you’re okay.
