This is a GREAT and CHEAP opportunity for those that want to try out these exotic emitters, which I think are the current best in the world in terms of tint and color rendering.
I look forward to that as well. The only problem will be choosing which one(s).
Oh and our local post finally delivered my order from months ago (they were on rotating strikes and not processing international mail very quickly). Congrats on the most impressive packaging I’ve ever seen.
That’s always been a problem with economy service from and to Canada. Even the EMS can’t deliver most packets timely as promised to Canada. Enjoy your LEDs =)
I have several Tiara Pros 4x E21A of different color temps modded by Clemence. They are really amazing. Regulated output, very efficient, and beautiful tint. I use them everyday.
It will just look like a Wizard Pro, outputs the same as Tiara, last approximately three times longer than Tiara Pro.
This is my favourite setup for these reasons:
No thermal step down even at its highest mode (T2), no overheating, much longer runtime than Wizard Pro too. In Wizard Pro the Turbo 2 can only be used temporarily while in Tiara, the Turbo 2 can be used continuously until the battery ran flat*.
The Tiara C1 Pro with 18650 is the same setup I use most too because of the much longer run time and no stepdown (or takes very long) due to the increased mass and surface area of the longer tube to reduce heat gain speed and increase heat dissipation rate. I use the 18350 sometimes when I want a super pocketable light, which I use for night time picture taking. The HI CRI light is way better than the flash on smartphone cameras and much brighter.
19mm is not a common size. It’s better I custom make it from VR20SP3, there should enough margin to do that.
No plan for VR20S1, after this VR20SP3, the next MCPCB will be VR38SP16,
Tip: You can convert existing VR21SP4 to single E21A use by scraping the solder mask.
