Difference in recent xpl-hi 5d to the "3-4 months ago" 5D. From left to right: 2 D4v2's with 5D from March-april. The dark gray dt8 is yesterday's 5D (ordered 3 weeks ago, received yesterday), and the right is the 2850k 8A.
It almost looks like Yesterdays 5D is 5000 K. I'm actually gonna double check the box when I get home.
EDIT: it is definitely 4000k, and it's awesome. It only looks cooler compared to these leds, when compared to xpl 5K the warmth is noticeable.
Ordered a d4v2 Ti with 219bt-v1 4500K. Hank also carries the 10621 optics now too on his new products page. Hopefully it’ll jive well or I’ll just order another one with the w2’s and use it for that!
My D4SV2 with the SW35 is sitting in a distribution centre right near my place and it’s killing me. I’ve got a battery ready to go and I keen to see what these emitters will do in the D4Sv2 body!
With freshly charged 30Q 18650 cells, D18 219B vesion turbo current is 48A at turn on, that is 2.67A per LED,
which I think it’s still within safety line?
In that case, D18 219B version should be with direct drive, no current limit.
Sounds promising. :) Do you have some Samsung 25S or 20S to test with again? These are supposed to be the most powerful 18650 cells available. If D18 219B works with them properly, there should be no way of killing these LEDs. :D
How many 219B SW30 and SW45K do you have left?
Oh and by the way, Hank did you have any chance to take a look at my previous post?
Default original optic back in stock for D18. Also can now select Nichia 219BT-V1 3500K and 4500K emitters. Order placed.
Hoping for tint below BBL with nice light pink hue, Thanks to Hank Wang for all your efforts. You are the best!
it is not "out of line" to send him an email (reply to your order confirmation) asking for update. After 10 days I would send one to check in. That's not unreasonable. I've done it once or twice before .
