Some of Hogo's Evil Plans for 2020

[sledhead]

Titanium 18650 body would be nice. :devil: Rotary of course...,

 

[desert.snake]

Stainless!

 

[RCS1300]

Stainless steel would be interesting....

 

[Strintguy]

Was there talk at some point of an 18500 body??

 

[Hogo's Evil Twin]

... and why am I always the last to hear, lol.

 

[Modernflame]

Stainless steel is quite interesting depending on price point, but you could count me in for a thoroughly mismatched HA edition, even if it were a rotary. The more mismatched, the better. Gotta have high CRI something or other, though. If you can put me north of 90 CRI, I wouldn't be overly obsessive about the emitter.

 

[TheJLew85]

High CRI if a must for me!

 

[LuxTacGear]

Dang! Like nbp said, premium metals wasn't friendly for my pocket either and it looks like it won't be in nearest future also but SS and NaHa could do the trick.
It would be funny seeing Henry calibrating Ostam White emitters

I would like to see some Osram flat white 1 or 2 emitters. They seem to have incredible throw in reflectors without pushing too many lumen.

 

[Stoneking]

I'm in for Stainless without a doubt!!! 3600K would be brilliant!

Rotaries and Clickies?

 

[hatman]

The Nichia 319A emitter at 5000K is my favorite emitter -- let's have some, please.

 

[caelyx]

Another vote for something high CRI around 5000k. I missed the window on 3 o'clock high, and would be interested in something between the High Noon (in my pocket) and the SS40 (hopefully soon on its way).

 

[elzilcho]

I was thinking of ordering the SST-20 in 4000K but if there's a possibility it might be offered in 5000K high CRI sometime this year, I would rather wait for that instead. Less warm + more throw (than the Nichias) = thumbs up.

 

[INFRNL]

I'd like to see the SW40 back since we can't get NB4, or 219a/b 5000k would be nice.

 

[desert.snake]

Nichia 319a 4000k or 5000k - It seems to be about 80 CRI, dimension 3535, that is, under the current board. Hexagonal matrix - smoother beam. Mmm?

I'd definately favor something >=5000K (or something <=3000K). In the past we had a lot 4000K lights.

The "old HiCRI" lights with Nichia 219A and B (I mean the version that was offered @HDS before the limited LED options were coming) were 4000K, the L5D2V4 was also 3900K 4000K, the current SST20 is 4000K.

That is the reason why I would like i.e. the 219B 3000K LED option in case Andy Zhu has enough LEDs available. My guess would be this LED would work fine with the HDS Hardware (electronics), since other 219B LED also worked fine on HDS hardware. Therefore the testing should be a minimum.

 

[INFRNL]

L5D2V4 was 3900k wasn't it?... close enough.

I think the reason for so many in the 4000k is because that's the prime color temp

Sw35 is about as warm as i like to go. Sw45(k) is also nice. I haven't seen 219a/b 5000k; which is why I chose it but I don't even think they are available anymore:mecry:

We really have a limited range in what most prefer. Then finding something in the right die size makes it even more challenging. It will be interesting to see what comes about

​

You are right it is corrected

​

​

​

It may ne the reason that this color temp is the most prefered???

​

​

SW35 is nice and warm, but I like the 2700K of my 219C a lot. It is almost like I am on a campfire or using old school xenon lights

​

That is true, but the interest getting some lights in Hogos legendary and last "Low K Groupbuy" was quite good. Therefore my guess ther could be real interest for a new "low K" limited LED.

I think we will see. I am pretty sure Hogo will surprise us with a cool limited LED option if the time is right.

 

[moltenmag]

I'm in for a Natural HA!! [emoji106] Any possibility of a HDS keychain light this year?

 

[djj]

HDS keychain light this year

+1

 

[indigon]

Definitely would be interested in a ss model in the HiCRI 4800k range.
