Second Generation Silver Plated High Current Beryllium Copper Springs and 95+CRI SST20!

I am in for:

8 big springs,
8 small springs,
12 4000k SST-20
5 3500k SST-20 (if it is still possible)

Added to the list.

@BlueSwordM

Have I been added to the list? I don’t see my name. Originally requested in post 87 .

Also are there any more non-early bird 3500Ks still free? I’d like 2 more if possible.

Oh boy. This is not too good.

No more SST-20s 3500k available now.

@Hodor, you have only been added 6 of the SST-20s 3500k, as there is no more space. Sorry :frowning: :frowning:

@RSlothMan, added, except for the SST-20 3500k part. :frowning:

Why are 3500 not available? Cant find any information in OP.

I don’t see my order updated: Second Generation Silver Plated High Current Beryllium Copper Springs and 95+CRI SST20! - #187 by g_damian

No worries. Thanks for adding the other 6.

I think it was mentioned earlier that Blue can only really buy in batches of 300 to get a good price. Unless we have enough interest for a full reel!

Can you do a waiting list in case people don’t buy what they have reserved (and if that waiting list reaches 300, there is the option to buy another batch)?

@AEDe, no more available to reserve.

People, do not worry.

Those who are on the list for the 3500k LEDs will receive them.

@g_Damian, it’s already been updated, but the update has not been posted, because the screenshot would not actually fit while being readable.

I will make the updated spreadsheet publicly available.

I see , thanks!

10 big springs
10 small springs
Thanks

Added to the list.

I received the early bird SST-20s a couple days ago and stuck them in a few lights. In a D1S I get 670 lumens and 550m throw compared to 1000 lumens and 670m stock. There seems to be a tendency towards a ring around the corona with smooth reflectors, though it’s a lot more prominent in the Convoy C8. The tint isn’t horrible but it’s not spectacular either. This is an sw35 219B beside the 3500K SST-20 in the D1S.

Yeah the ring is a problem.

It makes the beam so throwy in some reflectors that it makes a ring around it.

Also, at what level were you running the test?

I’ve found that at 1A, unlike the LH351D T6, the GA3 SST-20 sits just below the BBL. Above it, it becomes rosy.

It’s way better than the LH351D, and a bit better than the PL47 without taking into account the shift of CCT.

On that note, I know that SKV89 and Bob_McBob have received their LEDs.

Knowing this, that means most people will be receiving their LEDs by Friday, and next week.

Got mine today! Just opened them a min ago, well taped up. I should first put one in a D1 because my attempt at a sliced SST-40 in there didn't work out so well. Also got couple C8F hosts, so these will go in one for sure, then something smaller, not sure yet.

Will the SST-20 be ok in a D1? I thought they couldn’t/shouldn’t be used in single emitter fet lights?

It should be okay, as its forward voltage is still high enough to limit current to a low enough level to not burn up.

My stock 5000K D1 draws about 6A at the tail with a fresh VTC6. The SST-20 D1S is about 5.5A with a fresh GA (trying not to push my luck).

How is the 219B not dead in an Emisar D1S though?

Its forward voltage is quite a bit lower than even the SST-20, so even someone like Tom E/DB Custom wouldn’t dare put this emitter in a FET light.
