UPDATE: I have a lead on some more sw45k but I’d probably need a minimum of 200 pcs to make the purchase worthwhile. Anyone interested in another group buy? If so, please let me know how many you’d like.
So I reflowed 3x SW30 on a MosX 3535 triple MCPCB, driven by a LD-B4 driver set to 6A max current. This is by far the best 3000K tint I’ve seen… The tint shift between low and high current is much better than the SST-20 3000K HD2 emitters. I should have ordered more SW30 emitters! Thanks azhu!

Glad you like them! It still surprises me how popular this emitter is today despite it being so very old. Most of my favorite lights still have the 219b in them.
219b still going on strong yes. the SW45 got us all.

Probably not. You are testing the worst combo though. Low power, smo reflector and AR lens.
I bet if you remove lens and use a 14500 it will be less bad ( but still not FA3 )
All just a guess though since there’s only limited data for FA3
I actually recently got a DC Power supply. Haven’t tested it out yet.
I also just remembered the lights were all tested with dc fix on. I bet that had something to do with it.
The SST-20 I tested was from a J4 flux bin. I also have J5 flux bin that I will test tomorrow probably.
I think you should edit the OP to get rid of the FA3 bin because it will mislead a lot of people. What you tested is very likely a FB4 tint.

Yes you’re right. Source for that supposed FA3 bin wasn’t confirmed so I’m not 100% certain it is correct. I’ll edit those images out later tonight.
