I have an S2 with SST-20 2700K 95CRI. The tint is very warm and amber-rish, a little too much even for me. The hotspot has little bit of green, making it look tiny bit different from the rest of the beam when tested on white wall. My other S2 with SST-20 4000K 95CRI also has this greenish hotspot when shined at the wall, but in day to day use is not noticable. Overall, so far I prefer the XPL HI over the SST-20 in my S2s, the beam is nicer, no tint shifts and it’s a little bit brighter.
Simon,
Are you going to make the 5000K SST-40 available as a bare emitter? I would love to buy about 10 of those. I despise the 6500K but like the output.
Wow, No PayPal available anymore. Contact seller function is not working. I just get a blank screen. Ali may not be a part of my future much longer. They are charging taxes also. Weird.
That‘s interesting. Over here it still seems to work. I have not sent my order yet but according to the Aliexpress iPad app I can still use Paypal for Simon‘s shop. I can also use the „contact seller“ function.
Yesterday I’ve built L21A with SST-40 De-Domed running at 7A. ( driver )
I was very pleased with the result. This is how it looks. Enlightening 400kV electric line pole which is 65 meters high and around 600 meters away:
No. I tested 2 batches from Kaidomain for tint, first batch was JC1, second batch was JA3. But I did not see much difference, both tint were very nice and tested under the BBL. Simon has JB4 now, not the most promising bin because above the BBL, but who knows what it looks like in practise?
Ordered 3 bare 5000k SST-40 leds, happy to see that PayPal option is still there, I even got a $4 coupon that I could use for the purchase, ended up paying $5
No PayPal for AU either. Wonder if it’s to do with sales tax locations - I feel like Australia used to have PayPal on AliExpress, but since the law was changed to claw back tax from overseas sales…?
LP, do you get charged any tax on top of the sale price?
