[1900k edition is in!] WTS: 1900k-5800k 5mm LED 95+ CRI

Any news about the 4500K-EX?

Interested in the 1900K, but need to wait for a larger order to justify the new fee for tax handling through DHL (likely 6 EUR extra in Germany).

The interest is still pretty far from the goal (currently at only about ~15% of the goal achieved), so it will be quite some time until it become a reality.

I’m well aware of the new tax situation in EU, so if you want run the group buy locally, then be my guest.

I’m very interested in these LEDs (a few of each color temperature, have a (small) box full of C01). But due to the new import regulation in the EU it got quite complicated and expensive. Maybe someone can organize a group buy at taschenlampen-forum.de.

No, I meant my own order. Postage is a problem when importing for the fellow EU BLF members. Quite expensive in Germany, otherwise it would be a nice idea.

Thanks for offering this service!

:smiling_imp:

Shipping in Germany is 1,90 € (the “new” Warensendung after they’ve discontinued it some years ago). I’m really tempted to buy for 150 € (to stay below customs limit - is it with or without import tax?), but not sure about the interest in the German community.

@Rgwn is 6.5$ tracked shipping covered to Croatia/EU or 10$ maybe?

Ask. Last time I posted some news about Rangwans LEDs and the C01 not much interest was shown. Maybe you’re more lucky than me.

Payment sent for 50pcs tracked.

Thx!

I love that we have so many options to choose from but I’m out of the loop. Can someone point me to a good host for these please?

The current obvious host is the Sofirn C01. But be careful which colour to choose, we found out that black, red and green have a potted driver (can not be modded), and blue, brown and orange are not potted (easiest modding host ever).

Cool, thanks. I mistakenly recalled they were all potted, so I’d dismissed them as an option. Glad to to hear some colors will make an easy host for these 5mm LEDs.

A good option for the -EX model is the Nitecore Tube.

Compared to the rest of the C01 trio I modded (lowest CCT emitter on the right)

Nice! I bought some!

FWIW,

some time ago I’ve shown a 1:3 mix of the 5800K and 2300K resp. LEDs. Now that I got that Opple Lightmaster, I measured:

That is nicely under the BBL, Unheard, does the Opple give the duv value too?

No, I need to convert x,y by hand:

gives –0.0051

Interesting, but not very natural, I would not want it for an EDC light.

Here's the CRI test results from Djozz for 19K-C (1900k).
