I ordered the 1st ones early August, the seconds early September.
Since Sofirn sourced 2700K were nice I bough some more to put in some light bulbs, I also took one 5000K and 4000K to see how they test :
4000K :
0.1A Ambient = 1829.6 Lux, CCT = 3905K (Duv 0.0044)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 92.9 [ R9 = 72.9 ]
IES TM-30-15 Rf = 91.51 Rg = 99.27
0.5A Ambient = 7292.8 Lux, CCT = 3928K (Duv 0.0037)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 92.4 [ R9 = 71.5 ]
IES TM-30-15 Rf = 91.43 Rg = 99.85
1A Ambient = 13191.3 Lux, CCT = 3943K (Duv 0.0030)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 92.1 [ R9 = 70.7 ]
IES TM-30-15 Rf = 91.18 Rg = 100.29
2A Ambient = 22691.5 Lux, CCT = 3956K (Duv 0.0013)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 92.2 [ R9 = 70.1 ]
IES TM-30-15 Rf = 90.81 Rg = 100.58
5000K :
0.1 Ambient = 2210.7 Lux, CCT = 4730K (Duv 0.0030)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 92.7 [ R9 = 58.1 ]
IES TM-30-15 Rf = 89.52 Rg = 97.55
0.5 Ambient = 8847.3 Lux, CCT = 4817K (Duv 0.0038)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 91.8 [ R9 = 54.3 ]
IES TM-30-15 Rf = 89.75 Rg = 97.91
1 Ambient = 16101.2 Lux, CCT = 4870K (Duv 0.0039)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 91.3 [ R9 = 51.7 ]
IES TM-30-15 Rf = 89.70 Rg = 98.05
2 Ambient = 28038.4 Lux, CCT = 4949K (Duv 0.0037)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 90.7 [ R9 = 48.7 ]
IES TM-30-15 Rf = 89.47 Rg = 98.33
thefreeman, work your magic and see if Arrow will reveal what their 4 in stock 90 CRI bins are: arrow results
Iāve never seen anyone able to get this info so you must have the magic touch.
Do you see a sales email on their website ? They have a contact form but I canāt find an email, Iād like to join a picture of the label, thatās what I did last time so that the sales rep sees what Iām talking about (i.e. the āmagicā ), canāt do that with the form.
Edit : Nevermind, I found it.
assuming you found websales@ good luck!
Thatās the one, weāll see if I get a reply.
Speaking of Arrow I see that they now offer free shipping to EU for orders above $50 like Mouser and Digikey (actually less since itās 50ā¬ for those two), a few years ago they offered free shipping with no minimum which was insane, they stopped because that was probably not sustainable, then there was no free shipping at all so I dismissed this vendor. But itās good that it is again an option, and they do DDP incoterm like Mouser so no custom fees.
Thatās what I feared with the large quantity available, they have multiple bins and I doubt theyāll let you choose from one reel with an order of a few pieces.
Edit : There is actually no detail on the chromacity bins except for 5000K (R3, R4, which are bad)
Re edit : ah no, āMā means 3-step MacAdam, so 3000, 3500 and 4000 are all 3-step.
A few interesting pieces of info here but ultimately not what I hoped.
1) there is a different, lower, voltage bin (D2) in that one LED.
2) various brightness bins in the same CCT
3) āTMā āVMā āUMā not helpful in determining where LED might end up on BBL unless I misunderstand their specs.
So, what is the preferred source / part number for these in ~5000k these days?
Iām definitely not as familiar with the various color/tint codes as others in this thread but maybe these are a good choice for me to purchase a small pile of?
your link is for 4000k
here is 5000k
if you want to make the tint less green, you can slice the dome off, which also makes the LED about 500k warmer.
Anyone know what bin Wurkkos has? Itās quite good for 5000K.
Anyone measured spectrum of 3500k from Convoy?
I PM`D Simon at Convoy, and this is the current LH351D 5000k bin SPHWHTL3DA0GF4RTR6 F2R1T2. Does anyone know what the bbl or duv is of this bin?
In the datasheet page 10 , R1 should be similar to R2 but slightly higher CCT.
Edit : itās one subrank flux bin higher (T2 vs S2), that can mean a worse tint sometimes (green being more efficient).
I got some but I still havenāt tested them
Dang I bought 4 of them, before I asked Simon for current bin.
Do you happen to know Simonās current bin for lh351d 4000k?
No idea.
Here is one, bought June 4 2021, with the same beaded lens as my other measurements :

Thank you,stock seem not so good.
Do you like tint when sliced?
I prefer the one from contactcr that is always below the BBL, but it looks okay.
