:laughing: :laughing: Sounds about right. Its fine though, I like it here
Well I’m probably the wrong person to comment since apparently I’m all alone waaayyy over here, but this is what I’m doing. I don’t need a D18 so I haven’t bought a D18, because I know that if a special run came out I’d want it and then my “standard” one, which I didn’t need anyway, would just be an unwanted extra. But that isn’t a great solution because I do want a D18 and if that special run never happens, I’ve held out for…nothing?
Its the host that I want to be “special”, not the guts. Something besides aluminum, preferably. I mean I guess I could order up a standard host, strip the ano and re-anodize it in some funky color, that might be fun. Eh, we’ll see…
Odd, I find the D18 to be pretty special as is. The craftsmanship alone sets it apart from most manufacturers. I don’t mind alternative materials but the fact you can tint mix makes it pretty custom already.
hey I bet all of you know skylumen so he sells this light with osram white with 6x white 1 and 12 white2 on the outer… SO here is my question… could it be possible to program the light to turn off the 12 leds on the outer ring to not flood out too much… then turn off the center for less throw… and third mode all the lights for max performance?
I tried it and although it looks much better than the greenish 4000k on its own that Emisar uses, it is still not rosy. I think if Emisar sourced the rosy 2700k that Fireflies was using and a rosier binned 4000k, the mixture could result in a very nice rosy tint.
Has anyone done any lumen measurements with the D18 yet? Maukka?
In my quasi-calibrated sphere I get 15-18k lumens depending on the cells I use (brand new VTC6 and 30Q or older VTC6) with mine which has 5000k SST-20s.
The VTC6 are clearly more powerful but just wondering if it’s likely this light is putting out slightly more than the claimed 14k.
