Sold/Expired WTB: Warm Seoul emitter for upgrading a KL1

[carbine15]

Anyone sitting on an extra one or two nice warm Seoul emitters.

I don't have any at the moment, but I'll be getting a batch of T1SS0 bin as soon as I get the details straightened out. I think I can manage to send a couple your way :thumbsup:

 

[carbine15]

That would be totally friggin awesome! I've been considering dropping a nice warm emitter into the milky seoulmator so someone will buy it. (that's still up in the air.) Just PM me when you get them, I can't wait!

Is there anything warmer? Neutral white is about as blue as I'd ever like to get for this. Anything 4000k ish?

 

[Tekno_Cowboy]

The SS0 bin is 3985K ;)

 

[carbine15]

did not know that.. it looks like it's 15K too cool for me.. :) JK

 

[Tekno_Cowboy]

Might that be 15K to warm? :duh2:

Lol :crackup:

 

[carbine15]

Isnt the higher number the warmer? K like kelvin?

 

[Tekno_Cowboy]

The higher the number the cooler. K does stand for Kelvin, but when describing light as warmer or cooler, it's generally the more blue, and/or less red/yellow, the cooler, and the more red/yellow, the warmer.

There are a few good links to read on the subject in my modding thread, found in my sigline. I recommend starting with the one by McGizmo.

 

[carbine15]

That's counterintuitive to my understanding of kelvin as a temperature scale. Zero would be as cold as it gets and 3134 Kelvin would be the boiling point of steel. That's pretty warm in my book.

 

[Tekno_Cowboy]

True, but it really isn't a scale of "temperature". It's a scale of the light emitted when a black body is heated to a certain temperature, in Kelvin. So while the scale may be counter intuitive strictly from a numbers perspective, what light do you find cooler, blue, or red?

Since blue is perceived by most as cooler, even though the light emitted by a very hot object is blue, the scale interprets it as cooler.

Oh and I've read a few articles on negative Kelvin that were pretty interesting. They stated that there is actually a colder temperature than absolute zero. Way off track, but an interesting read if you're into geeky things like that :D

 

[carbine15]

If there's no molecular motion there is no matter. An electron stopped in its shell would collapse and matter would cease to be. That's absolute zero. How can you get colder than a temperature that you cannot achieve? Thanks for the schooling on the K scale as it refers to light emitted from a body heated to that temperature. It makes much more sense now.

The hottest burning temperature is blue, but blue "looks" like water or ice. The cooler burning temperature is yellow/orange, but orange/yellow "looks" warm.

Hot and warm are different. How color temperature relates to that is also different.

I agree it is kind of strange.

 

[Tekno_Cowboy]

The colder that absolute zero theory is just that, a theory. I didn't say I believed it or understood it :D
