I also found that the LH351C behaves quite well in a clear 5° Yajiamei optic which is rare. There’s just a hint of green in the corona and a very slight pinkish hue right in the middle of the spot. From this I would assume these get along very well with clear Carclo triples and quads, but haven’t had to chance to test them yet.
Small to mid sized OP reflectors work perfectly, but they are very forgiving with most emitters.
Looks like Samsung is giving Cree some real competition. Especially since Arrow had them for a little over a quarter.
I suspect that at some point Cree may start reducing their prices to compete.
Thanks for posting all this test data up maukka, really useful info. :+1:
Thank you for the testing and report maukka. Such great info. My experience with the tint pattern of the MF emitter with the S41 quad optic is right in line with what you reported.
Can someone recommend a small TIR with very wide spread. If possible a TIR without a visible spot.
Checking the options and prices. Want to build a light (like a lightbar with 6 or 9 LED´s) for kitchens wall cabinets (for my parents). So distance between light and worktable is less than ~60cm.
You don’t necessarily need any optics for that, just a milky/frosted piece of acrylic (or d-c-fix 346-0211 on clear). I really like the Yajiamei optics, and there’s a very large lineup of spotty and floody up to 85°.
Thanks Maukka!!!
They look nice and they are really cheap. I could bite my ass that i did not order more LED´s (0,30€/led) from Arrow (I only ordered 5 to play with).
But i will have to order some more. Hope to find another order option for the TIR´s. Because i have a problem with Aliexpress. Still working on a refund (after i already spend hour and hours with their support).
maukka - have you ever measured and compared a sliced one?
I did this with the 80 CRI version, I can only estimate but I’d say CCT went from 5000k to <4000k and the slight greenish hue looks gone now
These LEDs are very efficient for their size, 90CRI and the possiblity of having a good tint together with high luminance (when shaved). In part this is achieved by a slightly lower R9 value when shaved.
Nah I'm not noisy, as a rule not even my farts are when needed (because ;-) ninja).
Aaah! You said nosy! :-D
I still have two, wonder what will do with 'em some day. Powered by an XHP70 boost driver a quadkenstein aspheric build sounds appealing to me, albeit one with just two emitters would also do by carefully adjusting the current output.
I see. I think this LED might have some potential for high CRI throwers. More efficient than SST-20. Also green but dedoming is said to fix that.
But maybe they aren’t so good, it’s hard to tell without knowing die size…or testing.
I took the picture above and measured die size. Magnified by the dome, about 2.2 mm side. Assuming refraction index of about 1.5 that would be very roughly 3.2 mm².
And it’s flip chip.
So…despite much higher efficiency than SST-20 it’s unlikely to compete….though I would still love to see it dedomed as I have no idea of how good or bad is the calculation method that I used above.
