Comparing 20 LEDs (with and without high CRI) in 14 Convoy s2+: final personal observations

Get some Cree from Mouser

LH351D 4000K 70cri
LH351D 4000K 80cri
LH351D 4000K 90cri

Well, there is the answer! LH351D come in CRI flavors!

Those two and the XHP70.2 are the ones that first come to mind.

Ok, and now I want them soldered on boards :D who sells them.
I don't like modding, so having them on boards is kind of a requirement, and available at normal sellers (not Mouser)

Normal list…
Mountain Electronics (USA)
KaiDomain
Fasttech
Emisar/Noctigon thru Hank
Convoy (Simon) on AliExpress

“Normal sellers” …from China… sounds like a joke. O.K. maybe Saimon and Hank only.

I made a list for 10 LEDs so far, but don't know where to get the LH351D in several CRI.

2 on the list are 4500K though

Haha lol. No, Mouser is a bad joke!

Who in their right mind would suggest them, lol. And they don't even have the LEDs I am looking for.

Cheapest shipping option 20 EURO.

that's a joke!

Thanks Yokiamy.

I just checked Digikey, and they have some in stock (that are sold separately) but also shipping is no fun..

Total cost of 2 LEDs incl shipping: € 26.93

Unfortunately, that's not worth it for me.

Maybe contactr has some spare?

Oh, that way. Yeah, I will send him a message

Ok, I placed the following order:

14* Concoy S2+ (1* with Nichia 219C, and 13* with Luminus SST20 4000K) at Fasttech

20* clear lenses (because I read some people said the AR coated lenses from Convoy shift the tint/DUV)

And the following LEDs at Kaidomain

LED CCT CRI
CREE XP-E HEW Q5 5D2 4000K 80
Cree XP-G3 S5 5C1 4000-4500K -
Cree XP-L HD V4 5A3 4000-4200K -
Cree XP-L HI U6 5A3 4000-4200K -
Cree XP-L2 HD V3 5A 4000K -
Cree XT-E S4 5A3 4000K -
Nichia 219BT 4500K 92
Nichia 219CT 4000K 80
Samsung LH351D 5000K 90
Samsung LH351D 4000K 90
Samsung LH351D 5700K 90

Wanted to order at intl-outdoor, but although Nichia 219B(T) LED was a few dollars, shipping was $8

Some aren't 4000K, but just wanted to try them.

I decided to order complete S2+ lights, because they already have everything installed, and I just need to replace the LED boards.. much quicker, less stress, and maybe even cheaper.

I'm not into modding, so if something fails along the way.. you may never read about this again :D

Cree XP-L HD V4 5A3 from kd are veeeryy rosy. I have them in Q8. Love the tint.

We'll see! :D

I mean.. I hope to see it.. they are not here yet

What are you going to do with them all after testing?

I’ve heard a rumor that very soon there will be a huge S2+ giveaway around here… :smiling_imp: :innocent:

Cool that you’re doing this ChibiM!

I wish you could also include a 4000K 219B, E17A/E21A, and Optisolis to your list. The 4500K 219B that you’re getting from KD is the non-sw45k (i.e. non-rosy) version. It’s the sw45 which is brighter and still nice, but quite different than the sw45k. The 4000K 219Bs that I got from Ilumn are one of my favorite LEDs.

Too bad we’re not in the same neighborhood so I could contribute to your list of 4000K LEDs.

Gt-fc40 4000k can be had in m21c for 35 usd.

B35am 4500k in s21a for less than that.
