Zebralight SC64c LE w/High CRI Nichia 219B R9080 $150

Cheers Bob, much appreciated. I’m working out whether I want to get a LH351D or a 219B from you. So yeah, either way you’ll have an order from me sometime. (I know there’s some sort of delay in getting lights and making them - that’s all good.)

I’ve had a bunch of requests from people wondering how the 219B lights compare with other versions of the SC64 I’ve done. I promised to do a proper comparison, and I finally finished it. I’ve posted it over on Reddit for now because table formatting on BLF is a bit of a headache, but I’ll eventually transfer it over to this thread. I’ll also finally be doing comparison beam shots tonight!

I received my SC64c LE with the 219b sw35 yesterday. Big THANKS BobMcBob, perfect job. :+1:
I’m still very excited and have to say, WOW, what a fantastic mod. I am very impressed with the light color and tint of the sw35, I like it much better than a SW45K in my other lights.
You brought back my love for the zebras that I have lost for some time.

This SC64c 219b sw35 has now replaced the D4V2 Ti SST-20 3000K in my pocket.

nice, nice.
any shots?
I am deciding on this or samsung LED.

thanks.

I’m really happy with the tint of the sw35 reel I’m using right now. Nicely rosy on all levels and just really pleasantly warm at night. I actually have the H1 measurement for your light handy.

CCT = 3423K (Duv –0.0047)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 95.9 [ R9 = 86.2 ]

For everyone with outstanding orders, it’s been a bit hectic here for obvious reasons, but please know I’m still working on getting everything out. I only have a handful of lights for new orders until I can get more from Zebralight, and I’ll be getting in touch with people who have already PMed me about them as soon as I can.

Stay safe, everyone.

Wow DUV –0.0047 is amazing! I’m curious how come the tint is so rosy since I assume you bought this from Azhu, where he tested the DUV to be –0.0001

malkoff_junkie · March 19, 2020, 9:45pm

Is that a good thing ?.

SKV89 · March 20, 2020, 3:06am

To me it is a very good thing as I prefer rosy tint. The duv is a measurement of how far above or below the BBL black body locus. The farther above the BBL, the more green/yellow, the farther below the bbl, the more rosy

malkoff_junkie · March 20, 2020, 7:28am

much thanks SKV.

Has anyone heard from Chris lately? I’ve been waiting 4 mos now for my 2nd build from him and no response from him since March 23rd. Last response from him was that it should be done and shipped in a couple days. About to request a refund as my assumption is it was lost but figured I’d reach out again.

Thanks!

peg_matite · June 4, 2020, 5:37pm

Mid-May and communication up until then was a little spotty but I got my light shortly thereafter and he did a nice job.

Calzoner · June 5, 2020, 11:40am

Chris got back to me and all is good!

Still thinking of offering this Bob? Might be interested if you could mod one with the 3000k XHP35 HI

lukehale · August 28, 2020, 2:07pm

I actually have one of these on order from him, and am (im)patiently awaiting it’s completion/arrival. I would definitely send him a message soon though, with the whole discontinuation of the XHP35 HI.

Speaking of the SC64w HI, the light on the left there is also modded with a high CRI LED. It’s a 4000K XHP35 HI which is closer to 4500K on turbo, and the tint is as good or better than the best stock SC64c LE (LH351D) samples I’ve tested. It also has a higher output at nearly 950 lumens FL1 (stock is about 1080, not the claimed 1300). I have more of these specific LEDs and I’m wondering if there would be any interest in me offering this mod in addition to the Nichia SC64c.

Thanks for the heads-up. I will PM him.

btw, please let me know how you like it!
