Hi guys,

got any idea where to get those online?

i would love to reflow them myself but shipping to singapore isn't very fast and isn't cheap.

too little money left to experiment.


thanks!

the nichia 219 can use any PCB that are made for cree XP-E or XP-G

hope that makes search easier.

i don't have the solder paste and heatgun/oven required for reflow soldering.

i am hoping to find them already soldered to the round 16mm PCB.

spending at least 30USD just to reflow solder something for 1 time is way too much spending.

I tried to buy 219s on this board but Craig doesn't sell them mounted, I want three of these as well, I want to mod my Peak First Responder.
Any experienced member willing to do the job :anyone:

i want 2 of those. (no money for 3, students are really really poor) :p

could craig offer a reflow soldering service for a small price? i don't mind adding a dollar each to get them reflow soldered. :D

I've done reflow soldering with a electrical skillet before so if you have one of those at home, it might be worth a try. Cover the inside with foil if you still plan on using it for food.
I was able to get solder paste (senior project money), but if you don't maybe you can use small bits of chopped up solder with some rosin flux? Make sure there isn't too much solder to prevent solder bridges.
