Found my grail emitter!

[SKV89]

Don’t like magenta but I do like pink tint. If I know for sure they will be cutting from the same reel, I would buy some.

NWoodsman, unfortunately the E7 bin is rather large, and you’ll need to specify a tint if you have one in mind. 7D2, for instance, is ~3000K and just below the BBL.

That’s from the Cree binning PDF, page 9.

Edit: don’t mind me, just realized this thread is very nearly a year old. But perhaps someone else will find this useful.

Those who like “pink” at and below 3000k may want to consider nichia e21a. While I really hate pink at higher CCTs, those warm nichias are fantastic

I picked up a couple UT20E7 from Mouser and I can confirm, they are very pink. I didn’t expect them to be this rosy and it surprised me. I don’t have a fancy Sekonic spectrum analyzer but I do have a color meter for photography and these measure approximately the same tint as my sw45k lights. I don’t really care for how purple the sw45k looks at 4500K, but at 3000K these XM-L2 look lovely.

A few years ago I bought some of these 3000k 90+ CRI XM-L2s. I put one in my Maelstrom X10 and one in my Sunwayman V10R Ti. I agree it’s just like halogen, a tad warmer than Xenon. Very neat.

Edit-just realized that’s the Sunwayman in my avatar before I modded it.

Hi CRI headlamp. Modded or stock?

Hi. For several days I've been trying to weight all pros and cons of buying a stock Hi CRI headlamp or buying a cheap headlamp and further modding it, and I think I need some help to sort thing out. Are there any ready to use hq driver boards that will fit inside Skillhunt H03 or Convoy H1? What MCPCB with diode should I choose? AFAIK Nichia 219C 4000K 16mm MCPCB most likely will fit incide Skillhunt H03? Frankly speaking I am more inclined towards modding Convoy H1 because it's cheaper and it …

In my version sst20 is snowy white compared to xm-l2

Yes, its a nice emitter. But I don’t mind the yellow tint of the SST-20 so I prefer it because of the better CRI index.

Looks like you ended up with a different tint bin. Mine is quite pink.

What did you mod today?

I recently picked up an Olight S1R Baton II to use at work because I like the tiny form factor and the magnetic charger is great for quick top-offs when I swing by the desk. I work in a semiconductor fab and the overhead lights have UV filters on them to protect the wafers during the photolithography process. This makes the ambient light look very yellow. The S1RII’s cool white low CRI emitter looks positively horrid in these lighting conditions, so I decided to swap it. I swapped in a 3000K 90…
