When I put some in a E2L with 10507 the starburst shaped hotspot is very noticable to me. I personally am not too bothered by it but I dont think I would say virtually disappears.
Thanks KB, ad there's more. Hank just emailed me with the part numbers of the low CRI versions:
SST-20-WCS-A120-L3652(L3-VL-BA) 6500K
SST-20-WDS-A120-L2501(L3-VK-DA) 5000K
I asked him to post on the website, we'll see. I got in the 5000K's for their better throw and output, so that DA tint I'm glad to see.
I would assume their the same SST-20's he's using in the Emisars. I email him at contact@intl-outdoor.com, and seems to get back pretty quick, might be an hour or day or two.
@TomE, good god you made me laugh. Magic Line thing. That’s a first
Well, the DA tint bin is precisely what it sounds like: the color tint bin, or how the beam of the light tends to go to a certain color, being red or green, below or above the curve.
The magical line you see is, simply put, the black body line. A perfect 100CRI light source will be on this line, every time. Otherwise, it might actually drift to slight green, or slight red.
Slight red is preferred by most people since it looks more saturated.
@teacher, did not even recognize you initially. Thought someone else jumped in.
And yes, that means most of the LEDs will be on the slightly red side. At 5000k, you won’t be noticing it much, so it’ll pretty much be a pure white starting at 200-300 lumens rated.
