I think you might have a 319a D340, if thats true, and you go to a sw45k D220… you would see a 35% lower output… sounds like you might not like that… but
let me play CRI advocate…
say your light makes 340 lumens now
and with a sw45k, lets say it “only” makes 220 lumens
the low CRI is only 54% brighter… that is not really a big visual difference
and you give up all Red rendering… to get those extra 120 lumens… is it worth it?
you know best…
lucky for you, that version of the quark is not glued… tinker on!
The Samsung LED still has better cri and r9 than the natural light coming in my office today:
Two measurements taken in Texas, today at 2:45PM, overcast day. First is indoors with no artificial light, only ambient light from window - the next measurement is when I step outside.
Here it is sliced in a Sofirn C01S AAA small TIR on the “100 lumen” setting. Not exactly apples to apples but you can see lower DUV but not much change in CCT. I cant explain why that is, maybe LED tint variation but probably just the optic doing strange things. It’s not really meant for such a large die. There is also a little ambient light in room.
The 2700k and 3500k were always the best ones so I’m not too surprised by this.
We have seen T6 be above bbl from other vendors so it seems like these squares if meaningful generally tend to be at the very top of the square/bin
Side note; CONGRATS on getting one of these mega distributors to answer this. Didn’t think it was possible.
If I can muster up the energy I’ll test my Convoy sourced 5700K 351D tonight or tomorrow. Don’t think we have seen one of these in the “wild” yet. I think these were from some stadium lighting so I suspect mega green but we’ll see…
Yeah, plus with 4000K and up the middle of the quadrangles is raised above the BBL, probably to merge with daylight tint (~ 0.0030 duv), on the other hand, integrated duv should be slightly lower than measured at the spot (but maybe not that much with the frosted TIR you used).
I was doubtful they would bother to check for me yes, I got no reply for ~10 days so I though they ignored me.
Simon wrote the bins he got and it’s Q2 (5700K) and R2 (5000K) so the lower duv bins. I have some 5000K coming (not interested in 5700K) so I’ll see how they test. By the way I measured my FC11 and it’s actually worse than yours :
5170K (Duv 0.0086)
(Ra) = 87.6 [ R9 = 30.8 ]
Frosted TIR, same as before. The results are about what I expected. I purchased these mostly for two reasons: slicing and tint mixing. For both purposes they should be acceptable.
Actualy no. I was just curious how are their 5700K compared to the one you have. I had one installed in Novatac and it looks great. Not so “green and yellow”...
