I have a question regarding the Nichia 144A LED´s.
I want to build a Light Bar for my workshop. I want to use 3 or 4 ×144A 9050 sm573 LED´s in series with this driver (http://www.banggood.com/250W-12-50V-Adjustable-10A-Aluminum-Board-Power-...LED-Driver-Module-p-1026633.html?rmmds=myorder). I want to drive the LED´s with max 3A (total W max all LED´s together 100-150W). My question is if the Aluminium Profile is enough to handle the heat from the 144A´s (LED on Djozz Nichia MCPCB fitted on the Alu Profile with thermal glue). And i hope that someone can tell me which TIR for the 144A is frosted an has the widest spread?

I am not good with paint software but i hope it is possible to see what i want to build.

Yes, that setup should work, you might need to add a fan blowing through the inside of the tube to keep things cool but that is not hard.

Far as the tir goes, there are a lot of options, just find something with a wide beam angle and that is sized to fit the XM-L. I have only really messed with the narrow beam angle TIR’s myself but I did get a 90 degree tir that gave a nice even flood and they have even wider ones as well.

You also will very possible have to make some kind of spacers / centering ring for the TIR to mount to the top of the tube, it is unlikely that it will be just the right height to “snap” the tir into place.

Those aluminum profile won’t be enough to cool 3 × 144A @3A if you want to keep the Tj lower than 85C. For more surface area you can drill as many as possible holes on it. The maximum surface are gained with hole diameter = aluminum profile thickness.

@Djozz: I would like to buy: 1× 144A 90cri 5000k, 6V version 1x VirEnce DTP Board (to Germany)

I would like to change my order.

1× 144A 5700K (6V)
2× 144A 4500K (6V)
5× 219C 4000K
1x Virence Board
1x djozz copper board for 144A

Guess who just got a package from DHL.

Now to start re-packing and sorting tomorrow.

Yep, they look good, have not pulled them apart yet but no damage, it was well packed.

Can’t wait to change my EDC S2+ over to one of these, might rebuild it while in there with the latest TA driver.

That’s some pretty fast shipping for this time of the year, good job!

I’m hoping for a nice incandescent triple 219C 3000K in Reylight’s X6 Ti host, been missing that warm tint for outdoors.

Thanks for doing this guys!

Woah… Cool

I’m jealous, TA!
My package is in the Netherlands for two days now, but not delivered yet (have been home all day yesterday). The various tracking sites tell me that the package is untrackable at the moment, very useful

I didn’t expect it quite so quick myself but DHL is pretty quick once they get it.

Going to start sorting and packing them in a little while.

Hey TA put me down for 6 more of those 219c SW403’s. That’s should take me to an even 10. Thanks sir.

Ok, just got done sorting, packing and shipping all the orders. The tracking numbers should have either been delivered to your paypal email address or with a PM here depending on how you paid.

Now to get a second wind and start playing with mine, Got several lights I am building as gifts for Christmas that I am going to try them out in.

Got those added to the list!

Guys, I found something….
Check this picture, even the already cool white of 5700K still can not match the sunlight due to the lack of UV (good thing for fabrics and art museum). The brightener agent in the paper reacted strongly under the sunlight.

I’ll replace some pictures in the OP with this one. Much better for comparison purpose

You’re fast! Those are many shipments you packed there! Have fun with the soldering Tex

It comes from experience I guess. Having been doing internet sales for some time you learn a few tricks to speed up the process.

Luckily everyone on BLF sent payment correctly with all the needed information included with it, this saves me a ton of time. Thanks for ya’lls part in that!

That’s all I could get from the paint store. Next time I’ll try to get more complete colour cards.

Took me 2 hours just to get them glued evenly. But now we know that UV plays important role in making anything looks more natural, something not included in CRI colour sample.

So will the next step in high CRI be to add a UV emitter next to those nichia? I can picture people bragging about how fast their light gives them sunburn.

You know, UV ist not so great for the eyes. I would wear sunglasses outside in the tropics. The picture with sunlight would probably be very similar to the one from the 573 Nichia with a UV-Filter in front of the lens(Red, deep blue and Cyan color will still be better though).
