BlueSwordM LED Group Buy 3: a 3V 5050 domeless Ra9070 4000-4500k LED, the perfect XM-L2/SST-40 (UPDATE 2: Something new!)

Courtesy of Clemence.

It works nice in my S21A with OP reflector.

Oh, there are actual gaps between the emitters.
I did not know that.

Well, I’m currently in talks with fogofwar so he can get samples :smiley:

Yeah OP is fine, it only produces a darker spot with SMO reflectors and some clear TIR optics.

Can probably just adjust the reflector height a little until the spot goes away.

I updated the spreadsheet with all of the new demands.

And yeah, I’m currently in talks with the manufacturer to check if he could send their current CNW/CW samples(5700-6500k) to fogofwar to see if the donut hole problem is a big thing or not.

In the meantime, I’m still looking for a similar LED as an alternative with a single die :stuck_out_tongue:

Donut hole is only a problem in small SMO reflectors.

I’ve been using XHP50 gen1 which is exactly the same layout like this emitter and in OP reflectors it’s not a problem (even in some tiny ones).

Few specific models (super throwers) had visible donut hole.
Long story short, yes there will be a donut in some setups.

I still need it…

Yeah, but testing is still good.

It might be domeless, but we want optimal beam quality :stuck_out_tongue:

Don’t worry: I haven’t found another manufacturer capable of making such an LED yet with a better emitter setup, so everything is good.
It’s our “only” current option unless someone at Nichia/Luminus/Cree/Getian decides to actually make something like this :smiley:

5 3V for me.

Added.

Update my amount of led from 3 to 10 please

Done.

I am in for 20
I salute your engagement :+1:

I’m in for 4, so long as an actual test shows no donut hole.

I already said it on Reddit - but please put me in for 20, blueswordm.

thank you!

and the closer to 4000k the better for me (4000k is my perfect cct). 4500k is exciting too, though.

Done.

I prefer 4000k for general purpose flashlight. 2700k or lower for bedtime use.

Put me down for 20!

In for 10

I’m in for 5
