Re: FS: HD45 5W - WW0T
Lucky *******!! I'm so irked I missed out on the X-bins at the Shoppe. Just to prove I'm sour grapes, I hope your new X1 tint is the color of Oscar Madison's teeth! Am I dating myself referring to the Odd Couple? Just kidding!!!
Seriously, I had a trauma happen to my WW0T just yesterday.... it DIED, suspect converter failure. I think I'll pick up this one from you until things get sorted out with mine... will probably be out of commission for a while and the HD45 is/was my most used utility light. So if I get mine fixed down the road or the Shoppe has another miracle occur that I DONT miss out on and I pick up a yucky yellowy X-bin too... I'll just put it back up for sale. Are you SURE its the WW0T tint? I wanna make sure, my WW0T (I HOPE the LED is still good!) was on par with the very best, the best being the SFIII.
Quid pro quo, I'd LOVE some beamshots if you could manage it... something that specifically illustrates color rendition so I can gage the tint, or compare with another light like a U2 or SFIII for instance. I forget exactly what but i know we do have some nice high end lights in common.... the ARCMania WX0T!!! Yeah, beamshots, be nice.... since you posted my CRAPPY ones without my permission on that other thread. Nothing wrong with posting them, but you could have asked for some more recent publishable ones, not of the junk pile in my darkroom, jeez! It was kind of embarrassing, actually, but on the other hand, I was very complimented by the nice things you said about me in the post... so flattery wins out in the end!
So whaddya say, how about a "sympathies and condolences" discount on the sale price given my recent trauma.... Or charge me full boat and I'll send you my beamshot royalty bill.... just kidding!!!
All I know is if your WW0T is from the same batch as the one in my wounded HD45 its an absolute Luxeon lottery winner, perfect tint and spectacular very high W-bin brightness.
Matter of fact, I'll buy it, hang onto it until the X-bin shows up and do a comprehensive comparo for me, XX1T vs WW0T. I can even send you my LM-691 light meter if you want to take readings and you could return it with the light.
Whaddya say, isnt this post more fun than the usual drab "I'll take it..."
