I might be ineterested in a 16+16 2700k / 5600K but that’s if it’s the actual whole light. As for just the board itself, it depends if I can get someone to fit it for me. How much better will the tint be compared to the original? The LH531Ds are not know for being rosy so I’m guessing these will look a lot better.
Tint wise, I don’t actually know. Come to think of it, I have no problems with the current LT1 tint. This would help reduce the harshness of having just 4 LEDs.
From speaking to Barry at sofirn, I don’t think sofirn would be willing to do it. They seem to care more about the scale of things compared to Hank or Simon who will custom make anything. Barry is always talking about workers being too busy at the factory.
I sent a message to DBSAR to see if we can get the exact measurements of the LT1 board. How did you come to those measurements? Did you read them somewhere or did you look at the photograph and estimate it out?
Hey BelMOR, do you think it would be possible to move the LEDs closer to the centre of the light? This would help make the glare softer since the light will have more room to spread out before it hits the diffuser
Space is limited but every little bit away from the edge helps
I would like to do this in a group buy format. If we have enough interest for 100 pcs, you would then make a prototype, send it out to someone like Djozz who has the testing equipment to double check that it functions well with the LT1. Once he gives the green light that it’s ready, you would get the boards made, assembled, then list them on your website.
You can add in your fee onto each board (so maybe $1 per board?) to recuperate your costs for designing the boards rather than having one person carry the entire burden for the design fee. I think the $16-17 shipped price is a reasonable price at which people would buy the boards at, are you alright with it?
I would only like this project to go ahead if we can garner enough interest to make it worthwhile for you to make it and sell it at a reasonable cost.
Are you okay with this proposal BelMOR?
