Which body do you guys think the sw45k would shine?
1) Emisar D4v2 in antique copper with black button
2) Emisar D18 in black
3) Emisar D4Sv2 in Cyan
I currently only have the sw45k in the Zebralight SC64c. I do however have the sw35 in the Zebralight SC64c (Bob_McBob mod), Lumintop FW3Gvn, Emisar D18 (on it way) and Noctigon K9.3vn.
Hank’s SW35 batch has a bin of D200. I bought some SW35’s before from Andy with a bin of D180. Do any of you have measurements of the duv difference between the two bins? I may actually prefer the bin of D180 if it is rosier due to a lower duv…
I modded a ThruNite Ti3 v2 recently with the sw30 but also shaved the dome off of it resulting in the results sitting lower than BBL. I didn’t take any measurements beforehand but it should be closer to BBL. Each emitter even in the same reel can be different so YMMV.
That is good to know that the duv is flipped around per Bin with the SW35 vs SW45K. Andy, As for dedoming 219B’s, that must make the tint really nice looking at your chart. Have you ever tried the lee minus green filters on any of the 219B SW’s to drop the duv even more? Are there results out there that show this?
Shaved 219b 9080s are in my experience the most beautiful emitters ever. Not very bright, but the absolute best choice for small cell EDCs IMO (especially with boost drivers.) The closest thing to zero angular tint shift and reliably rosy™
As a general rule, lower flux bins are more likely to have lower Duv, simply by nature of the greener tint being more efficient (and hence higher luminous flux). This is one of the reasons 219C has a reputation for somewhat mediocre tint after 219B, because Clemence was ordering the highest flux bins available for all the group buys, and most sellers have done the same afaik. It’s not a hard and fast rule since there are rosy D200s and neutral D180s, so it really comes down to the individual reel because the ANSI binning for 219B in R9080 isn’t exactly all that precise.
