[1900k edition is in!] WTS: 1900k-5800k 5mm LED 95+ CRI

Woah, thanks for the order.

I ran out of envelopes to ship to you after I processed the paid orders. Those coming after will have to wait a few days for the envelope.

I’m buying new envelopes too, which will arrive around friday. I will ship the rest around Sunday.

So more of these will be for sale later, doesn't it? $5.15 + $4.50 for 50pcs PayPal fees already included, doesn't it?

Thanks.

Paypal fees not included.

I will be definitely ordering more of this. Although I’m not sure if they have the exact same bin in stock as of now.

This “Power Beam” flashlight @ FastTech O:) could serve as a host for them (review here and extra comments there).

This is micro-budget flashlight.
BTW: anything else worth your recommendation as host for 5mms?

You already know about the Fenix E01?

Good candidate, thank you.

I’ll place it in Surefire A2

I'll take a pack

What about multiple leds? Any decent host known? Headlight is a good idea too.

Round 1 packages are shipped (along with some other packages for different customers)

All of the packs have been reserved, so I will announce that this is now out of stock.

Anyone who placed the order should pay before Saturday, or I will cancel the order and release the reservation.

Aw, you shouldn’t have posted the bill, we trust you to the very end. Needless to say a reward for you should be granted admittedly. I’m really really thankful you make rare (hard to obtain where I live) leds available for us.

:beer: :beer: :beer:

There are some Varta hosts for multiple LEDs (up to 7). From the technical data I assume current is well within the specs, i.e. <=25mA. Those Vartas are not bad qualitywise, but I have not tried to open them. Yet.

Edit: Thanks a lot for shipping! :beer:

@rngwn Any other color temps planned in the future or only 3400k?

^ I initially planned for 4000k, but they don’t have it. I will have to make a jump to 5600k for anything cooler than that.

They may have 3500k, though.

Another 1700pcs is coming this weekend, same CCT, same bin.

The test images look good!

Sounds potentially handy. Is this one you built, or is it available as a finished product or kit somewhere?

Hopefully, but we don’t know for sure, much less when it might happen:
Sofirn C01 host version

If you haven’t put a Yuji in a coin cell light like the Photon Freedom, it’s almost a must have, and it looks like this LED would also be a great choice. Maglite Mini incans are also very easy to put a 5mm LED in.

If you want to get really fancy, I believe you can send McGizmo an LED of your choice to install in a McGizmo Sapphire, although perhaps he still has some Yuji’s left.

If you want something in the middle, there is a Surefire A2 mod product that may or may not still be available called an “onion ring” that a CPF member makes. It holds 3 LED’s and has a potentiometer to adjust output.

And then, of course, 9x LED lights are easy to come by. They can usually be disassembled by removing the batteries and pressing the pill out of the front of the light.

A mix of the 3400K and 5600K in a multi-emitter light might be interesting. If they’re in equal numbers, the average CCT would be 4500K, which is a nice neutral. If it’s like other LEDs that have been used this way by some BLF members, it would actually turn out looking nicer than using the same number of just 4500K emitters in the same light.

Available pre-assembled from Aliexpress.
