I will be modding 3 identical hosts with quad e17a virence board, and I can’t decide on which CCT’s to pick.
The max output with these hosts will be about 260 lumens using the e17a 9080 LEDs, with both floody and throwy optics.
I typically enjoy lights from 3000K to 5000K, but have never tried 2700K, and sometimes find 5000K too cool.
Any recommendations?
Additional observation: mixing 2700K+4000K in different ratios would result in the 3000K or 3500K emitters almost exactly. Same goes for 4000K + 6500K which results in the tint for 4500K and 5700K.
So a quad e17a is about the size of an XP-G LED, and quad E21a is about the size of an XM-L LED.
Would you say the quad e17a will have about 40% more throw than the e21a at the same power setting?
I tested only 2000k and e17 has a very low lm/w. And, generally. you get same picture in narrow optic (a smalled spot and seeming increase of range). A only advantage of e17 series is a rosy tint at a lower current than e21
So if I am understanding you right your are using a lens like this(Page Not Found - Aliexpress.com)? Is it a multiemitter setup(VR16SP4) or single emitter setup?
