Hi Rey - any update on the 14500 Mini Dawn? I had ordered a Pineapple from banggood several weeks ago, and just today they told me that it had been returned to them and wouldn’t be getting delivered. Since I spent several weeks waiting for the Pineapple, now I figure I might as well wait for the Mini Dawn if its going to be out in the next month or two… If not, would I be able to order a Pineapple or Lan with the 219B R9080 direct from you?
Sorry to hear about the waiting. The stock Pineapple and Ti LAN use 219C 4000K. I might be able to swap it to 219B for your order. But holiday begins tomorrow.
Yeah, I have the plan to make mini Dawn. AA/14500 with the new programmable driver. One or two months will def not enough for that.
Question: Why isn’t this LED no longer in production? Or is it? And why isn’t or wasn’t it used more often? The color is a dream, even more than the Yuji 3200K among 5mm LEDs.
I like this light very much, even if it’s not as bright as expected. Surely nowhere near 300 lm.
I wouldn’t expect a response for a while since it’s a holiday in China for several more days. Really only one sample has been measured which could just be a dud.
Coaster is right, my estimation might be wrong. I can only compare with lights that have a different beam and color, unfortunately. There’s not so much difference between 180 and 300 lm that everyone would see it immediately without direct comparison. And maybe I am influenced by the reported measurement.
