The SST-20s that Lumintop are using are divine. So are the 219Cs to be honest. Not a visible hint of green to me, and I’m quite sensitive about tint.
As for the futureelectronics site, unfortunately it seems that there are some quite high minimum order quantities. I’m also in the UK and wish to buy a selection of different optics to try out. I need to remember to check out Arrow and Mouser to see if they will allow me to purchase single units without prohibitively expensive shipping.
I’m still searching for a source of 10621 optics that isn’t hugely expensive for shipping. At least I can order 10507s from China for cheap… Would be interested if you find anything.
the 219C that SKV and myself received was not good. Next to the SST-20 it’s visibly higher Duv.
It has lower CRI than both Samsung and SST-20 and worse tint than both with too high current draw to top it all off. I do have a good 219C specimen from years ago but this is not it. (at least in my sample of 1 FW3A)
When ordering a new optic do we also need a new lens for the newer FW3a models does anyone know? I may just order from Neal’s gadgets to be sure. Might as well get another light when I’m at it
Haha, nice. Glad you linked to that post or I wouldn’t have noticed the reference.
Unrelated note - nobody has received a raw aluminium FW3A yet have they? I ordered one yonks ago, but it still hasn’t shown up despite the other stuff I ordered at the same time (including a purple FW3A) arriving weeks ago. I just checked on my order and I can see that the raw aluminium one hasn’t even been shipped yet.
