OK, I decided to sell this Tiara C1 Pro. I modified it right off the box, only simple LED swap to 219C sm4070e R9050 and changed the TIR optics (bigger and even hotspot than the OEM).
The reason: I’m getting used to my 144AM sm573 R9050 worklamp and the non removable magnet USB charger is somewhat annoying. It sticks to any ferrous stuff on my messy bench too often. I’m sure other will love this feature.
The glass lens isn’t included. I broke it to safely remove the bezel with very little damage. Without the glass it’s far more resilient (once the glass break water will seep instantly).
You’ll find it in my store (if someone don’t get it while I type in here). Price is USD 65 + 5 (shipping)
sm5770e or sm5750e? The latter is the most consistent (less variation between batches) and tighter than even 3 steps, while still below the green zone.
For me 5750e is perfect please (which is mostly the Cree 2D tint). I only like rosy in warm yellowish tints, but in cool tints for me too rosy is just as bad as too green or blue, it must be near true white (the R9050 must make the colours, not the tint).
Totally agree about this. Not many people are like us Jos. This the same way of thinking. High CRI should be as close as possible to true natural colour IMHO.
Any other thoughts? If it’s possible I’ll try to accommodate both “rosy” and “neutral” fan. Any “green” fan around?
Sorry to disappoint you guys. Nichia just dropped my request. 3 steps is the best we can get. The special order request is just too small for such a tight bin
And I’m not going to purchase a full reel of sm5750e D220 9050 219C (the flux rank available for that bin)
Let’s drink the beer
Let’s see how long I can supply these exotic Nichias. There are rules to be followed …
This was really just a hobby for me too. But I have to turn it into professional manufacturing to keep it going.
Pre-order can only works if the custom is predictable. Learnt from many shipments in the past, won’t promise until they’re on my hands. And mount Agung eruption makes it even uncertain. It’s currently calming down but the seismic activity isn’t. Constant rumbling deep inside the earth and frequent earthquakes (hundreds per day) indicate there will be bigger eruption to come.
