Many web systems hard-code the bad assumption that there is a strict one-to-one mapping between email addresses and actual people. This gets weird when paying by Paypal with a different email address for the Paypal account (among many other corner cases). It’s probably just a bug in the site caused by a bad assumption.
I see this type of bug all the time… but I also have about a thousand email addresses.
For a few secs it's safe, then the heat starts. Is the heat safe? well, depends how long you can take the heat. After that it's not safe. Ok - I really don't know...
They heat up pretty quick on a good or bad 10440, is the bottom line...
Seriously folks, scoop these last lights up. This is a shame these are limited, they’re so idiot proof and well made. The tint and output are both awesome too. It’s a perfect and cheap no frills light made for those single ply people in your life.
First time for a Nichia 219B ~4500K. Looks great, lousy at beamshots, plus all the tint issues between camera settings and monitors.
The colors look good to me, but I am not an aficionado of the “pop” in colors….
Beam profile is about a 4 foot hot spot at 10 feet away, plenty of spill. Ran it on a LiFePo4 10440, got warm, not hot. The protected trustfires do not fit. Output increased about half again on LiFePo4’s.
It is a great little light, the thing is a benchmark for single mode penlights. Good balance on everything, the tint is wonderful, at least to me….
Has anyone confirmed the emitter bin? It looks different than my other Nichia 219Bs - a bit cooler, and possibly a bit lower CRI. But it’s really hard to tell, and could be just a matter of having a different beam shape. It’s amazing how much the optics affect how the tint looks.
Glad to hear people are getting their lights and generally happy with them. :)
That's right. Earlier 219B was 4500K, this "NVSW219BT-V1, sw50, R9050" is 4750-5250K. I have been noticing some variation in the tint between different samples, but they are roughly the same => I'd say 4750 to 5250K is quite accurate. (Don't have means to measure the temperature accurately, sorry!)
Emitters to this GB came from IOS, so I'm pretty sure they are as advertised.
