Theyāre all dead but the links I copied and pasted.
That last one worked :+1:
Thanks again.
Now, here are the good links. I have manually checked them. The prices are in $CA:
5000k 90CRI:
4000k 90CRI:
3500k 90CRI:
2700k 90CRI:
Read em again BlueSword, the only way they sell the 5000K 90CRI they have in stock is in minimum quantity of 800.
Edit: Could well be the difference between Digi-Key in the USA vs Digi-Key in Canada.
Uh, my link says otherwise for some reason :exclamation:
DB it doesnāt list the led as 5000k 90 CRI but when you look at the part number and match to the datasheet, thatās what it is.
+1
This is why I posted the specific list of the links. So, members could order the right LEDs :+1:
If you click the product page, you can switch to āDigi-Reelā packaging and buy āem one-at-a-time, but they aināt $1 each.
This is the US site.
I just changed the .ca to .com
I studied the Samsung spec sheet, learned the reasons for all the lettering and text in their label, and thatās what I go by. The Digi-Key in the US doesnāt sell the 90 CRI 5000K in singles. The 80 CRI ones I bought were $2.64 each as compared to $3.57 or so Canadian on the links posted above for the 90 CRI version. The Canadian site also has W6 power bins available that the US store doesnāt have at all. Now if we could only find the 96 power binsā¦
Ah, the devil is in the details.
I wonāt buy an S6 power bin when W6 is the current highest available. 4 levels down in power, no thank you.
Edit: And following that last provide link shows a W6 in the US store, Digi-Key is SO confusingā¦ Iāve spent hours in their store in the past few days and bookmarked the highest bins, searched it out all over again a few minutes ago and U6 was it, now that link shows differently, how I donāt know but there must be some discrepencies in their warehouses or something and itās frustrating. lol
Iām trying to figure this out. For me it works DB. Clink my link above āUS siteā and try to order.
Okay, there it is. Not the same bin. But they do sell LH351D 5000k 90CRIās
Yeah, I donāt mind getting decent CRI if I can get power, if I have to sacrifice too much in the power department Iāll go with an XP-L2 or SST-40 or whatever. No point in wasting time to build an underpowered light.
JK, to some degreeā¦ some lights demand something special and there are allowances that can be made. lol
Edit: FTR, I searched it out new a little while ago and specified Samsung, LH351D, and 90CRIā¦ the only thing they stocked showed 800 counts. Odd, their site is apparently unreliable. Crazyā¦
From Digi-Keyās US site:
From Samsungās datasheet:
It seems their āminimum orderā quantity wonāt prevent you from adding a single emitter to the cart.
So, yeah, thatās the highest possible bin for a 90CRI+ 5000k LH351D.
No such thing when I ordered the other day, I paid $21.21 for 6 of the 5000K 80 CRI emitters, shipped was $3.75 USPS and $1.62 tax. 3 days to my door.
I build for power first and foremost, if it canāt make the numbers I donāt buy it. Unless of course the light demands something special and high color rendering index is the flavor of the day, there have been exceptions but very rarely do I undercut the power first requirement. Iāve even ordered emitters from Cutter in Australia to get what was otherwise unavailable to me, yes, at $25 shipping. In a case like that Iād buy other things too in order to warrant the costs of shipping Internationally.
This was my first experience with Samsung emitters. They do well in my D4 as a Quad, not so much singly in other lights. Ok, and with nice color, but not overwhelming. Iāll use more, sure, but itās not an easy go-to choice.
I ran a google search comparison changing the last two out put bin letters. No hits at all on anything higher than the S6 at digikey in 5000k 90CRI.
So at the moment thatās the top bin for high CRI in 5000k. 80 CRI 5000K is U6. 70CRI 5000K W6 as DB said.
In digikey I just use the search using the bin code and it gives me all the different buying options.
If they have a minimum listed and you enter ā1ā youāll be paying $1500 for your āsingleā emitter. Ya gotta watch Digi-Key! Learned that a long time ago.
They typically sell by Reel, Digi-Tape, and Cut Tape. Reel is like 1500 5,000 emitters, Digi-Tape is 3,000 or 2,500 or 800 and Cut tape is 1 or more with price breaks at 10 and 50 and 100 as I recall. Iāve bought emitters from them in most of those quantities, only 200 at one time though.
Still good to have for self entertainment though
