The reason for such interest in this emitter is due to the higher than normal CCT (4500K), coupled with a high CRI (93 + I believe). If any of you have ever seen the light from a McGizmo high CRI Haiku, this emitter is extremely similar. Those that Don (McGizmo) uses are the earlier 119 variant of this emitter, and I believe his might be just a tad higher CCT (4500-5000 average, I could be wrong). But for those that like to render colors very accurately, yet not have the orange/brown/extremely warm tint that's typically associated other high CRI emitters, this emitter will be amazing. Even though I've had a high CRI Haiku in the past, and even have one of these new Nichias in all of my JHankos and HDS Rotary now, it still amazes me to see such a high temperature light make reds, oranges, browns/earth tones pop so well, yet still make white look "white", and not some murky shade of brown/orange. Plus, it has one of the most uniform tints from spot to spill of any emitter I've ever seen.
Sounds very impressive. Once they make leds like this that can also throw and compete with XMLs for output, well then our quest will be nearly over ...... until the next time!
