Are there any “Round die” emitters available in 90+ CRI that you guys have seen?
Closest I’ve found was 85 CRI at 3000K. They can get up to 95 CRI by manufacturer specifications but these are unobtainable.
If going by overall performance, the dedomed 519A.
The B35AM would be up there too if the footprint was the normal 3-pad 3535 size. The other close competitors are the r9050 FC-40 and the Nichia Optisolis.
Cree XHP r9050 not included after being burned with bad tint on Cree lights 4 times, regardless of CRI bin (only nice Cree I’ve had were an XHP35HI and MT-G2). They’re bright but not particularly nice looking, it’s a shame the MT-G2 is not made anymore.
I have some of the white-surround “yinding 5050” emitters in 3000k 90cri. Not as bright as SFT40 3000k but I got lucky and got a particularly nice tint around -0.0067
Bought them from the “shenzhen silver ingot” ali store
Anyone happen to know where I could get 3 or more pc Nichia 719A 2700k in the USA? I kinda need them on the fly…
