Justin, this is sick. Should be a decent thrower (even better if XP-G2) and a great flooder. I’ve got my eyes on this one.
Do you already have a particular power emitter in mind?
You aren't the only one. ;)
Just about all I keep for leds any more are XM-L and the Nichia. I figured to put the T6 3C in this one. 2.8A driver for the T6 and a single 7135 chip for the leds. 20 leds @20mA each = 400mA and a single chip should do about 350mA, so about 17something mA for each led. Hopefully it will work out for this.
I find a step drill bit handy for this. Only have to drill once and easy to see depth.
Very nice idea, Justin!
i’d sell my soul for this :o
I agree, but for $65 in Lowe’s and Home Depot, I will pass. I would pass even for $10. I’m a cheapskate, LOL.
Muwhahaha
Looking good.
Ok, gotcha! This IS your build… but I was expecting the curtains would match the drapes so to speak

It’s only because I bought T6 3C from China. All I could find at the price I was willing to pay, so that’s what I will put in.
I would put in a Nichia, but the new batches of the 219 that I have gotten from IS are Not warm White and I suspect, not high CIR either. They are borderline neutral to cool white and don't look like high CRI from what I can tell with my eyes.

You've got the knack.
but you are amazing Old-Lumens.
Thats some fine “Eyeball” Drilling!!! Nice project Justin…. THANKS for sharing!!!
Dan.
Are the new 219’s the ones available since Craig restocked?
Nichia NVSL219AT-H1 4500K, 92 CRI , B10 Bin
Yes, I just got some last week. They are nothing like the original batch. I would rate them at 5700K and 85 CRI or so. Just by eye, so you know how much that is worth, but for sure, much whiter than the first batch. The last two batches have been consistently whiter, but maybe that first batch was a different bin.
