Still in for 1x 4000K. Tbh it’s not surprising ordering such a small batch would not get you exact binning. I would just randomly ship them and charge everyone the same with the expectation it may not be exact tint but within a range. CRI should be consistent.
Next time just under promise from the start and over deliver
In any case, I will leave this on about 1-2 weeks before round up and order the 4000k (if it hits the threshold, that is). We’re back to the original deal where I promised the tint will land somewhere on the A4 bin.
I will work on 5mm leds in the meantime.
Edit: since Shirnask has dialed back the order amount, I guess we will have to wait.
I’m not sure if it will prove to be profitable for you in the end, but I sure appreciate your efforts getting chinese manufacturers make special high CRI leds and resell them on BLF. It is something that not many have a talent for, or the endurance to try or have the willingness to take the risks.
To be fair, I still haven’t got to breakeven point for the previous COB purchases. I will need to be rather conservative when it comes to committing the order.
I’m still awaiting the total amount to hit the minimum amount.
Since I haven’t yet fully recovered from the COB purchase (the first WTS from me if you recall it), I still need to be more careful with my investment.
I’m planning to buy an A4 bin for real pretty soon, preferably before the factory closes during new year and Chinese new year.
However, due higher MOQ than planned, I will very much prefer the interest list number to hit 50 pcs before doing so. Otherwise, I will take a fairly big financial hit.
Due to some recent developments (My GPU dying a few days ago), I think that 1 LED is enough for me. If someone else wants my 2nd LED, you are welcome to it.
If not then I will find a way to order both of them.
