The Yellow Q8 (added a test of a pink Epileds 5050 led in post#18)

Interesting choice of LEDs. Seems like it would be fun to play with.

Do you think the spectrum is different from what other manufacturers market as phosphor- converted amber?

PC-amber is very similar but a bit more orange. I just measured a PC-amber flashlight (with a ProLight PC-amber led) and the peak in the spectrum is just a bit more towards red, colour temp is 1900K. The CCT btw is, just as the yellow one, way above the BBL. Left the yellow hotspot, right the PC-amber hotspot:

Actually, quite warm :stuck_out_tongue:

Don’t eat the yellow snow

Thanks for the testing djozz. Are you leaving these leds in the Q8 long term?

Yellow snow, you can have it. :open_mouth:

:stuck_out_tongue:

Ewww, didn’t think of that.

Wow. I”m envious, as I have made a lot of amber lights to avoid screwing up my nighttime sleep cycle.

Maybe 3300 lumen of yellow is not ideal for your sleep cycle.

It probably depends on Luminus. I think it makes sense that now that they started with the other cool and neutral 70CRI CCT’s of the SST-40, but not 4000K and warmer, that at some point they finish the SST-40 line-up with warm 95CRI versions. One can hope, right?

Whats up with the Giant Gangster Whitewalls on the chick bike, Is that a happening fad over there for cyclists or a safety thing? The Yellow Bile colored beam really makes them POP! :smiley: :+1:

It is very common to have a reflective strip on the tire over here, it helps a lot with safety. But this particular bike seems to have reflective rims instead.
Same bike in daytime:




There you go ^
It would make sense if the behaviour was similar to the yellow one but it seems a quite different led. It did not even die at 10A when I stopped the test.
I made an S2+ shorty with BLF-A6 driver to check the led. It is indeed very pink and puts out 400 lumen on a 18350 battery. With some bypasses and such it should do over 600 lumen.

respect you got the rosiest tine ever achieved in a flashlight

Kawiboy his camarea has no or not good image stablisation

Yes, just checked, my ROT66 (219B V1 sw45 R9080) at max looks yellow next to this one :party:

About the bike shot, it was my phone camera, I did not hold it still enough for the beamshot.

Not an Epiled, but got some “bead” type pink LEDs offa Amazon. They’re pretty interesting. Got one in a drop-in, which ended up in a pink/purple/whatever ’501 that I got offa FT.

Call it a Barbie-Light…

Hang on a sec…

Here ya go. Go crazy…

(Damn, got ’em in 2015!)

This is really cool!

Aparently not. :smiley:

I was bored and started toying with a few colour flashlights. I thought that if I could fill in the spectrum of the pink one with a green (530nm XP-E2) flashlight, it might get close to a usable white. And behold, after some varying light levels I even got 80CRI close to the BBL with a great R9. :slight_smile: . And it shows, when sliding the pink and green hotspots until they overlap all of a sudden a clear and pleasant white appears that gives fine colour contrast. It is not that I do not know that it works like this, but it is much fun to see it happening before your eyes.
