Re: More LionHeart HA3 Build Pics
bmstrong,
Yes, I got more than a few inquiries about that. This is one of the responses I just sent out:
Rest assured all LionHearts have T-binned Lux3's in them, either J or K binned Vf. That is because some overachiever K's will actually outperform the J's and vice versa, so I have to test each one for brightness before they are used due to the still-alive Luxeon Lottery, although the gaps in ratings are getting narrower all the time.
I stated the Luxeon specs for the "error lights" because those are the Bin Codes I happen to have now (can't really get much better ones, at least not in quantity, at this juncture in Luxeon history anyway) and I didn't want anyone thinking these lights would be any less capable in any way aside for the missing the top half of the "H" in the logo marking.
The middle two digits denote color, with WO supposedly being more "natural" and the YA/YO's being more "HID-like" (blue/aqua-white), but color is SUCH an objective thing that I don't test for that; I simply hunt down the color bin codes that are supposed to be the "whitest" or "blue-whitest" and test only for brightness using a constant current bench power supply for consistency.
HTH's...
