XP-L HI 3000K

I bought those exact xpl-hi from kaidoman about 5 months ago, i didnt expect much since the 5A3 i got form them were YELLOW, so i didnt use the 7A2 for awhile.

Well…

let me tell you - i put them in a D4v2, those 7A2 are some of the NICEST xpl-hi i have used. theyre perfect! why have i ordered more?

Because Kaidoman doesnt seem to believe it bluk discount pricing. i offered to buy 20 if there was SOME type of discount involved, they responded once but never offered a price.

And at $5 and change US, theyre not worth it when i can get 5A4 from hank for $4 (when your buying 20-60 leds, it adds up of course).

Ive been waiting over a month for Simon (Convoy) 7A3 to show up, so i can compare them to Kaidoman’s. Simons 7A3 are the best priced xpl-hi i ever bought, when buying 10 ($3.5 each!)

I just hope they’re as good as the Kaidoman 7A2

I have only seen 5D listed in Intl Outdoor. Are 5A4 some special request ones?

@Unheard

It is significantly less bright.

I would definitely argue "significantly". I dont have a lumen tube, but visually there isn't a significant difference, like seen in WW vs NW sst20.

even the cree xp-l data sheet shows 2850k U4 @ 380lm @25 degreesC, and 4000k V2 @446lm @ 25degreesC, which is about 15-17%% difference if my math is correct?

15-17%% in lumens isn't enough to write home about, its certainly not "significant".

I believe 15-17% is less than needed to be able to tell the difference by eye? That’s good news!

Where did Hank indicate those are 5A4? If so, they are rosier than than the typical 5A and 5D tints we see.

[ArtieT59]

Hank doesn't indicate the bin on his website. I asked him what the bin was when I received a xpl-hi 4000k d4v2 a couple weeks back. The tint was so surprisingly good, I knew it wasn't his typical 5D2 he had been carrying

Not that I trust those numbers, but here you have it: The Samsung is 0.0037, the Cree is 0.0036, and the Nichia is –0.0026.

I think i try most of 3000k are online in this moment (XPL-HI) and U4-7A2 are not bad. If you see without other comparison in High Cri, this leds are very well but little yellowish.
2850k 80 Cri from Hank are better for me, 2850k 90 Cri are marvellous
My “maybe” 3000K 90 Cri from first original order from Kaido are the best warm tint on the planet but unfortunately i don’t have product code because Kaido make a mistake.
So I don’t know what i have buy.
I will wait Opple light meter to measure my XPL-HI…
