    Where to buy aspheric lens and holders?

    There's something about the way the lens focuses the light into an extremely useful and even flood that just makes it different. It's way more flood than any reflector lights I can think of (although I've been out of the game for a while lol), but not as much flood as led with no optic. So it's...

    Where to buy aspheric lens and holders?

    Thanks I checked it out. Looks like it's just over 1" OD, which will work for my project. Still have to figure out a holding apparatus for focal length adjustment, which doesn't look too promising aside from designing and making it myself. For anyone who may find this thread in the future that's...

    Where to buy aspheric lens and holders?

    I don't remember aspheric lenses and holders being commonplace back when I used to frequent this forum. Based on the low volume of returned search results that doesn't seem to have changed, so a simple optic and holder from one of the name brand manufacturers will probably be the easiest and...

    Where to buy aspheric lens and holders?

    I did the same, and did not find what I'm looking for so I thought I might get some feedback on here from the ones who have made purchases.

    Where to buy aspheric lens and holders?

    Does anyone know where one might look to purchase an aspheric lens and some type of holder for adjusting focal length? I've been looking and haven't even found the lenses to be readily available, but I may not be looking in the right places, so I'm asking for help. Thanks

    Thrower LED Options

    Does anyone offer readily available aspheric lens holders to adjust for the correct focal length to get the desired beam angle? I could make something to do this, but I'd probably have more time in it than what I could buy something for. That is, if someone makes such a beast.

    Thrower LED Options

    Absolutely hard cutoffs. I'll check out what they offer. I used a tight spot Carclo optic for xpg with some 219's for lighting over my lathe and it turned out really good, but the cutoff could stand to be better, and spot tighter for this project as the emitter will be further away from the area...

    Thrower LED Options

    Nice thanks for the advice. And you're correct I don't need a tan while eating lol.. However, I can remotely control the LED brightness anywhere from a couple percent to one hundred percent brightness. I have high CRI Nichia 219's on hand and thought about using those driven at .5A max...

    Thrower LED Options

    Been away for quite a while, so I'm not up to date on much these days. Back in my day the XR-E and XP-E were the go to for tight spots/throw, but I'm sure I've missed out on some advancements. I've got a project in mind to install LED's up in my ceiling in the tv/entertainment room for use as...

    where to buy xp-g/nichia 219 and xm-l mcpcb's? 20 mm star

    I need 3, but I hate to buy the only ones you have and then you turn around and need them for a project. I forgot about Cutter in Australia. He has them in stock. shipping might get me, though....

    where to buy xp-g/nichia 219 and xm-l mcpcb's? 20 mm star

    I didn't until you mentioned it, thanks. Looks like they only have copper, though. For my purposes I don't really need copper, and it's just an added expense. However, if I can't find aluminum I'll have no choice. I would have thought you could find mcpcb's no problem, but I guess it's probably...

    where to buy xp-g/nichia 219 and xm-l mcpcb's? 20 mm star

    I've searched all the places I used to buy from and can't seem to find any xp-g/nichia 219 or xm-l 20mm star mcpcb's. Am I overlooking anyone? Thanks, Casey

    Fenix HL10 Nichia 219 b 92 cri led swap

    Just thought I'd share a few pictures of an led swap I did on my headlamp. The swap went really smooth. The light came with an XP-E led. Nothing wrong with it, but I really love the beautiful colors that the awesome Nichia 219 high cri led emits, plus I have a need to discern slight color...
