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

Yeah!!!

Red 3400K, Blue 5800K. I missed the cw blue C01 and got a red one instead. Plus there are never enough warm white flashlights in a houshold.


(WB: 5000K)

See what those LEDs made me doing out of frustration about not getting C01’s?

(sorry for picture spaming from my side :blush: )

Edit: And don’t forget Jos’ request for hosts :smiley:

Is it possible to get these in 2200-2700K too? I have a lot of LED candles that I want to change out the LEDs on. Could possibly do a group buy if others are interested.

Mine arrived today! Thanks again rngwn! I’m hoping to put some of them to use soon!

As far as customization goes, 10k would be a minimum, and the binning will be all over the place, and some or even much of these might not be marketable. I find this quite a bit messy for my liking.

I think that even with grossly inaccurate binning there maybe enough people to get you to 10K. If I buy a 100 and there will be 30 that have a good tint that is fine with me. Unlike smd-leds, the tint of 5mm leds are simple and fast to check by eye with a plain 5 dollar led-tester.

Maybe you can do it the form of an interest list to take out much of your risk. Estimate an approximate price and divide it in lots of 100 or 200, and see how far the list gets you. If you are close enough to 10K you can try to order them.

I like to see those very warm (2200K?) high CRI 5mm leds becoming available and also warm 3mm leds, I could start an interest list for you if you like?

Well that’s certainly a nice perspective. I probably won’t do this right away, though. You can do the interest list, but I can’t give words on when I would actually do it. Just like how C01 list currently goes

Although, the “messy” scenario I mentioned of is when they do bin the parts and I get some good bins and some bad bins, I will have to somehow sell all of them. In that cases, I will have to deal with several SKUs in the inventory, which is what I think the “messy” part of the ordeal. One thing is for sure, since this is a customized part, the best bins probably won’t come cheap.

2200K would be really something :slight_smile: .

It is fine if it will not happen right away. To fill an interest list takes at a month or more so no hurry. For an interest list to work I do need a price indication and which led(s) we are trying to get.

Thank you sooo much for these! I got my order last week of 100 3400K and have slowly been sprinkling the joy of warm HI CRI LED light 10 lumens at a time. Just doing button cell keychain, an old 2AAA medical light… and such so far. I have a couple 12 and 30 LED projects in the works to use up half the stash already.

….so I just ordered another 100 3400K. Not to hoard them, I just never want to run out! They seem to be finding homes rather quickly just turning craptastic little lights into fantastic.

For now I’ve changed some of my LED candles out to the 3400K 5mm LEDs modded with a Rosco Cinegel #3407 orange filter in front. The high CRI really compliments the professional filter, and the color is amazing. I will try to take some comparison shots between original (monochrome orange LED), modded, and modded with filter. I’m currently away from home so I’ll be doing some mods next week.

Does anyone know if these will fit in this light

That led seems bi-colored. There seems to be two cathode leads.

If that is the case, you might have to deal with the different positioning of the anode lead.

Hardest part would probably be to make reliable contact to the shell. Othewise it is just plastic work. You’ll probably need epoxy. Brass pin should be soldered.

Guess what arrived?

@5500k WB

@2800k WB

Wonderful and unique, I have never seen 5mm leds in this tint and CRI :slight_smile: , I’m in for a batch! (100?)

Me too.

I’m also in for 100 of these 2800K 2300K ones! Looks absolutely gorgeous.

This is 2300k though. “2800k” is just the WB setting.

Oh my bad, I read 2800K trough the glare on the photo. 2300K is even better, then!
