WTB: Best Deep Red LED 660

[neutralwhite]

hi there, looking for a Deep Red LED, preferably the same one as in the HDS Red Flashlight or SST-20 DR?
differences?.
I have a HCRI E17A from Clemence over at BLF but not sure what HCRI I can really see.


thank you.

Re: WTB: Deep Red LED ( HDS Red )

The latest HDS lights have IMO a XP-E2 LED used. At least the LED in my HDS Roatary with red LED looks like that.
The red of my HDS is also a little bit deeper red than the red of the Surefire Kroma MILSPEC and Surefire Aviator Red. Until now the HDS is the best flashlight with the deepest red I have, love my red light HDS.

Here you can get a red XP-E2 LED:

Btw. Lumitronics is located in the EU. Shipping might me fast to your location since you are also in Europe.

thanks what about the SST-20 DR Deep Red ?
whats the differences?.

I have a HCRI red E17A in an AAA from Clemence which is not bad and not sure if I can see the HCRI in it really.
thanks.

FWIW, according to CREE's datasheet the wavelength of the XP-E2 is 625 nm which means it's not as deep red as the 660 nm SST-20.

Sofirnlight has a AAA light with the sst-20 dr.

They have indeed, the C01R: https://sofirnlight.com/c01r-sst20-dr-660nm-deep-red-p0118.html

I have it since a few days and it's awesome. I don't have any other red LEDs to compare though.

There are some deep red and far red(730nm) P60 drop-ins on Kaidomain.

Check out the Zebralight H502pr Photo Red AA Flood Headlamp. I have one and it's a very nice deep red, supposedly in the 650-670nm range. I personally love how insanely dim it can go (0.003Lm).
