A few interesting pieces of info here but ultimately not what I hoped.
1) there is a different, lower, voltage bin (D2) in that one LED.
2) various brightness bins in the same CCT
3) “TM” “VM” “UM” not helpful in determining where LED might end up on BBL unless I misunderstand their specs.
So, what is the preferred source / part number for these in ~5000k these days?
I’m definitely not as familiar with the various color/tint codes as others in this thread but maybe these are a good choice for me to purchase a small pile of?
Great
Have you tried measure spectrum at very low current like 1~3mA?
My sample at these current look much more greenish and bluish compared to 0.1A you measured,I guess Duv and blue light increase much more.
Does that will happen less with lower power Leds like E21A or the ones used for strip lights?
The current stock of SPHWHTL3DA0GF4RTS6 (dog farts) at Arrow is the worst batch of LH351D I’ve ever come across. Duv ~0.0065 at both low and high current, and CRI doesn’t even reach the rated 90. At 3A they’re something like CRI 87.5 with an R9 of 40. Even slicing them down to the phosphor still gives a significant positive Duv and sub-90 CRI. Utterly atrocious
Hmm. Didn’t think of that. Maybe 519 can replace the samsung, but we’ll have to wait for tests. The newest Nichias don’t overdrive much if any, so it’ll need a big die. EDIT: The 519 has a 4mm die. The 351d has a 5mm die.
2.4A is their max pulse current. This is actually the same spec as the 219F which is a 2mm die. ‘Continuous’ rating is up from 1800mA to 2200mA. If they behave proportional to spec, then about 4.9A will be max current before the phosphor burns up. Will that be enough to beat the Samsung? That’s the question. Maybe we could see 1800lm (djozz calibration) from a 5000K 70CRI variant
If better tint and/or color quality can be more easily/consistently has from the 519A that’s a huge advantage over LH351D right there. Slicing is a (fairly) easy improvement for the 351D, but that then has tradeoffs in output and efficiency…
