Sold/Expired WANTED: Someone to mod my LunaSol20 to Warm emitters.

[PoliceScannerMan]

I am having trouble using my cool tinted lights with all my warm lights. I would love a LunaSol 20 that is warm on On wide and Far. Do they even make warm 3mm Nichia's?

:naughty: :thumbsup:

I was thinking over this same problem just yesterday: could the Nichia 310DS in the LS20 be swapped for the 310CS used in the LS27 (or is it the other way 'round)? The Nichias are a great tint match with the Cree in the "27", so color me disappointed when I saw the cold blue cast, and mismatch with the Golden Dragon, of the Nichias in the "20". I had posted about this issue when the LS20 was released, but apparently no one else could see the problem, including Don. I sold mine (in part) because of this.

PSM, have you contacted Will about doing this work? He's the first person I'd turn to for elective McGizmo surgery.

I might be able to do that for you, though I don't know about the 3mm LED's.

Who is Will? :thinking:

I would want all 4 emmiters swapped to warm, not Neutral. Anything worth doing is worth doing right!

The 310CS as well as the 310DS are available in different tint bins. The 310CS I used with the Cree was a B1 tint which for the most part seemed well matched. Most of the Dragons I worked with were higher in color temperature and I felt the B2 tint which is a higher color temp was a better match; again for the most part. I have seen some 3 mm LED's that were not "typical" in regards to the majority in their bin but for the most part, Nichia seems to do pretty well with consistency in color temp.

I admit that I have a personal preference for cool over warm when it comes to tint and in some cases there is a bonus of greater flux if you are willing to go with the cooler tint.

There are variations among all of these lights and in the case of the LunaSol's my primary concern, in regards to tint, was to try to match the 3 mm's to that of the primary high power LED. That I was not completely successful in this desire or that the overall tint was not to everyone's preference is really no surprise. :shrug:

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

Don, thanks for the reply! My LS20 is perfectly matched on wide and far. It really is something else!

But I am just hooked on these "incan" like tints, I think the LS20W would be the bees knees.

I am going to keep my LS27 stock, cuz thats my baby. :kiss:

How about some of the new tiny Cree XP-E's in their Q4 neutral tint to go around the circle? These have an exeptionally nice warm tint IMO. Just a thought and I second what others are saying about darkzero's mod quality.

 

[darkzero]

Thanks for the kind words fellas. Always a pleasure to work with you guys!
