Oh, and btw. I think the Gaggione LLC25N would be AMAZING with this emitter in a SP33v3 sized light)

loneoceans · 2021-02-27T00:04:42.000Z

Hoping to be able to try out this emitter sometime when it becomes more easily available. :)

Anyone care to explain how the bins differ? For instance, what’s the difference between the three E900 bins that are all R9080, but their prefix is sm503, sm573, sm653? Is that color temperature? I think the “e900” is indicating the output bin? No help from the data sheet. Thanks, considering ordering from Virence when I can and putting in Sofirn Sd05 6v version.

Nevermind, found the answer on page 5 of this data sheet on the new high CRI options:
http://www.nichia.co.jp/specification/products/led_spec/NV4WB35AMT-E(5768D)R70%20R8000%20R9080.pdf

Anyone get one and try it out yet?

I have one of each variant (R9080) coming from ERKX. Will let you know how are they.

Pavlo · 2021-04-25T17:06:34.000Z

What host are you putting them in?

First i’ll try with Convoy S21B then i’ll test them with McGizmo reflectors. Mostly in high power lights

hinbli · 2021-04-25T18:51:11.000Z

I am interested in the results, too.

I don’t have Luxmeter nor spectrum analizer... LOL

hinbli · 2021-04-25T19:33:26.000Z

This is a new LED and still uncommon. There is not much of information available, other than the data sheet. It is just nice to see them installed in the lights.

They are already available from ledrise but the price is ouch. I’m waiting for Clemence as well.

Did you receive yours yet?

Agro · 2021-04-28T20:16:18.000Z

I haven’t ordered yet. I don’t have the right conditions to do any modding nowadays and my excitement has faded.

Dalamar · 2021-04-29T16:50:52.000Z

Is this my long awaited high CRI thrower? Right after I order GT94?

I want one in a triple-sized 21700 C8 with parallel batteries.

Agro · 2021-05-01T09:23:15.000Z

It’s not really a thrower LED. It has larger die area than SBT90.2 and produces far less output. I think Clemence has tested that but I can’t find the results now.
Anyway E21A is not a thrower LED and this one will only throw less. But when high CRI is a requirement, there are very few choices - and this is a fair one.

ADDED:

The high CRI variant does not much more than 2000 lm at the peak. So intensity is ~3 times lower than that of Boost HX.

lumenzilla · 2021-07-15T09:43:47.000Z

I got mine from Clemence (Sm505 E1200 R70) but haven’t got any chance to test it yet.

3 times lower intensity than Boost HX… does that generally mean 3 times lower candela once place inside a reflector?

Generally yes.

Math nitpick warning:

Technically that should be 2/3 lower (1/3 the original value).

3 times lower would imply negative light.

I used to think that “3 times lower” means y = x / 3 but “lower by 3 times” means y = x - 3 * x = ~~2 * x. That is~~ the first term is multiplicative and the other additive. That’s how it works in my native language. I read your message as “3 times lower” means y = x - 3 * x = –2 * x in English. Have I used it wrong for all these years? I see you’re from the USA, so I assume you’re either native or advanced Engligh user. Is there a multiplicative term in English?

The literal meaning in English is y = x - 3*x = –2*x.

However, most people in the US mean x/3 when they say 3 times lower.

I see, thx
