Emisar D18 introduction

[mattadores]

For all of you interested in blended tint variants or TK’s amazing four tint D18 I have exciting news!

I’ve just created a thread because I talked to Hank and he’s confirmed that he’s willing to build custom tint-mixed versions of the D18 for anyone for an additional $15!!

CUSTOM Emisar D18 builds are AVAILABLE!

That is awesome @ ToyKeeper. Do you think Hank would produce this for anyone willing to pay the freight? or is this a thank you of sorts for all the time you invest? :sunglasses:

Why are so few companies doing 4500K high CRI ?. I really like this range.

A lot of recent high-CRI emitter don’t come in 4500K. I don’t know why. They go up to 4000K, and they go above 5000K, but they have nothing between. If I recall correctly, this is the case for SST-20, LH351D, and 219C. And if I recall correctly, SST-20 doesn’t even have high CRI above 4000K.

However, there are still ways to get 4500K. With so many emitters, it would be a great light for some tint mixing. Put in a mix of 4000K and 5000K emitters, and the tint should be a nicer color temperature which also has a slighly more pink bias.

It could be arranged like this, for example: 9x4000K, 9x5000K

Or to make things look even nicer, it could use all four emitter tints: 3x3000K, 6x4000K, 6x5000K, 3x6500K

This would probably make a very nice-looking ~4700K beam with vivid color rendering, as long as the emitters have the same Vf.

so I’ve been out of the loop for a while but how easy/hard would this be to accomplish for a first time modder?
