Maybe I’m not so good at reflowing, but these XHP50.3 HI 4500K 90CRI LEDs seem to be rather fragile when it comes to current. I went just above the limit on two of them at 12V and they burned out rather quickly. My heat sinking was probably not adequate either but for now I I’ll give up on these until someone who knows what they are doing does a more thorough test.
I got a 6v XHP50.3 HI doing 4k lumens I think the current draw is like 8-9 amps it’s okay but I’ve only used it for testing. I tried to reflow one and the dome melted.
Always fun to see someone else’s reflows and tricks, thanks for making the video.
A spectrometer test would be nice, I always prefer (also) a measurement with a reflector on the led and measuring in the hotspot of the beam.
Colorimetry results would be welcomed indeed, and like Djozz said, a real world measurement is preferable, especially not a bare LED measurement with the device right above it.
Something like a spot/corona/spill measurement with a reflector like this doesn’t take too long to do and is quite informative about the LED.
