How great would it be to have an MC-E where two of the dice were warm white for about 400 lumens output, one die was red, and one was 365nm UV - each color controlled seperately.
That is exactly what I am thinking as well. At the same time their full on White only version looks very intriguing as well since 4Sevens is talking about using active thermal management to allow them to push the light to it's limit safely without worrying about damaging anything. Either the one version with lower output RGB (does it also have a single die with white output?) or the second version with 4 dies running full tilt on white. I am very interested in both.
The MC-E's dies are individually addressable if you wire them up in parallel, so you can do all sorts of fun things with it. You can have four steps of output on direct drive by switching dies on or off, for instance. You can also wire it up in series for a higher voltage circuit. I imagine the multi-colour light will allow you to select individual ones. Mixing colours would also be interesting, but that would be one hell of a UI.
I'm aware of that. I was using very loose nomenclature (parallel vs series) to distinguish the different ways the MC-E series can be wired.Individually addressable does not mean parallel.
Is it possible to only light up one of the leds on the die? I'm obviously not a multi-die expert.
What is Cree's main purpose for this? Is it for improved color rendidtion with them all on simultaniously or for mult-color choices in one light?
