If I already have a Jet u, is it difficult to use the kit to mod the head? You mention that the head is glued. Wondering if I should commit to getting a full build or just a kit…Thank you in advance.
Only newer Jet-U glued. And the glue used is something similar to UHU, semi opaque whitish hard cured. Jetbeam glue the optic holder and the pill. Heat will soften it. Don’t use solvents unless you have something safe for all the components inside. IPA, gasoline, MEK, acetone, will destroy either the LED, lens, or the PCB masking.
To make E17A or E21A outputs as they should be, you have to modify the white optic holder to compensate thinner E17A/E21A LED height (0,35mm). The optic holder modification alone increase E21A output from 65lm to 79lm.

I’m in!
I tried to use the gsheet but I had no success. If someone wants to write my name and I’d appreciate that.
Fixed, but you haven’t commented with your desired type/quantity.

This is good information. Do you think you’ll be able to write an application note about using the kits so this and any similar information about modding with the kits will be easy to find on your site?
Sorry. I suck. 1 4500k complete light
used the google.doc to order 1 JetuSolis 6500k complete build, plus 1 JetuE17a green complete build
Looking at the Google Sheet now. Does it make a difference which cell I use for commenting?
yes it does. Don’t comment on someone else’s space

20 pcs to realization…

Please combine Calzoner and James Pozone.
Thanks!
I added comments to the Google Sheet for one modded JetuE21A, a few E21A kits, and a few Optisolis kits.
I added a note that I’ll buy three stock lights from you if you offer them. I figure the more lights you need to buy from Jetbeam, the better your chances are of getting a bulk discount. I’d also prefer to buy from you and support your work.
Thank you for putting this together!
OK no problem
Done, moved your position to #20. Will inform you the OEM price later

I cannot edit the spreadsheet. Could you please add one JetuE21A 3000K complete build for me?
Jon slider could you possibly get an interest list going at cpf. I know you are a contributor to the tint snob thread there that this light has already been mentioned in. Just a thought….
good idea.

Won’t be in this time, saving money for quad optisolis and triple e21a when the triple will be available, I’m just passing by to encourage people who are more into colors rendition than tint to take the plunge in optisolis 5000-6500k.
I’m not into cool white at all and i’m using high-CRI since long (Seoul ssc-p4 high-cri 4000k (that i’m still using)) so the 6500k optisolis was quite challenging for me, the beam is cool but the colors separation is the best I’ve seen so far. When cool colors and warm colors are side by side, the separation is much better (to my eyes) with the 6500k than with the 5000k, for example when there is orange next to blue.
And the 6500k gives the impression to reveal the true colors “better”, without cheating your eyes and brain, when compared to 5000k. The 5000k enhances warm colors “better” but the 6500k looks more balanced in general with “stunning” blue colors rendition despite warm colors not popping as much as with the 5000k, but warm colors are definitely there.
Sorry for my bad english which doesn’t help to describe my feelings but i really don’t regret the money invested. Definitely not wasted, if only for my personal (high-cri leds) education.
