I have an idea for an addition to your shop: The Osram LE UW Q8WP is basically a bigger version of the popular Osram Black Flat. It reaches the same luminance at maximum current, but is 80% larger, so the resulting hotspot is 80% larger and it produces 80% more lumens. It also does away with the three biggest downsides of the Osram Black Flat:
- The central solder pad is now electrically neutral
- The solder profile matches that of XP-LEDs (The Black Flat is smaller and doesn't center itself well)
- The Vf is much lower
It has a new downside though: the die is not centered on the package. It is shifted slightly in one direction. Can you envision offering a real copper (one piece) dtp-pcb specifically for this LED where the die is in the center of the pcb? This way the LED could be easily centered like other LEDs and we will have brighter ultra throwers!
I think quite a few people would be interested. You could do a poll to get an idea. I would be in for at least 5, maybe up to 10.
