The ones who prefer warm tint don’t care about 18% less luminous flux. If more luems are neede, it is still possible to increase the color temperature.
I’m sure 2700K will be much appreciated.
I’m for 2700K on the low end as long as we get at least 5000K on the high end. To me, the more “spread” we get, the better. I’d be okay with 2000K + 6000K even. I’m confident that TK’s mixing will make it all look good.
BLF/AI
Looks like artificial intelligence but it’s Area Illumination
I thought about Artificial Sun Shine but those three letters seem wrong when put together. :innocent:
That second name would be more appropriate if the light had a $1000 price tag and fancy marketing about how it was handmade by virgin monks, with uniquely advanced quantum engineering inside, to cure all manner of physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments. Because then it would be pretty undeniable that we think the sun shines out of our, um, “Artificial Sun Shine”.
(At least the part about quantum engineering would be true. All common computer chips rely on quantum mechanics in order to function, because that’s how transistors work.)
I’m sure Ultimate Camplighting Kit is out of the question… :innocent:
SkyLantern has grown on me. You could do one of those fancy logos with “BLF SL” and have a Chinese lantern in between. I tried to make one but I’m apparently… artistically challenged.
That is the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time.
Not only are you the smartest person I currently know (as far as light goes)your eloquent writing and sense of humor could propel you into a successful comedy writer career or a stand up comedian.
2700K at the warm end tint would be great, worth losing a little output & efficiency to persevere circadian rhythm when sitting around the campfire but a little additional lighting is needed at night
TK is indeed a special person……… Ive thought of PMing her and telling her just that but then I thought, No, she would probably be more annoyed than impressed with any praise ……
- Currently modifying the V1 Prototype lantern to run four LH351 3000K LEDs to do direct comparisons to the LH531 4000K LEDs that are in the V2 prototype now. I don’t have another Q8 MCPCB so i flowed the emitters on four 16mm Cree stars and will work with those to get the V1 as close to the pattern as the V2. (photos of comparisons coming soon.
