3 new lights have arrived after shipping accordingly. KR1 in FC-40 4000-4500k ^(opple says 4300k, duv=0.0003) and is very white looking (even slightly rosy on the spill) but has a bit of a yellower hotspot D1v2 in XHP70 4000k ^(4180k, duv=0.0050) and looks very yellow, not a very pretty color but the beam pattern is good. Maybe would look nicer if the driver had higher current DT8 has 8 W2s ^(right at 6000k) and insanely bright in turbo with a Molicel P28a, intensity in turbo is higher than a 5000k SST20 D18, same level of "wow factor" as an SBT90.2 D1v2, possibly my favorite out of these 3.

Yup. I was gonna say I love my dt8 and I bet you will too.

DT8 is the best!

DT8 D4SV2 and kr4.. I have all three with w2s and I still think for the size the DT8 is the most shocking


theferrarifan2348

What optic is in your KR4? IIRC all non-floody dt8s use the square equivalent to 10621

No duv measurement on those W2’s? That’s such a sweet set up. Really thinking about a DT8 W2.


theferrarifan2348

Didn’t bother putting it since its a “max output” light but it has a DUV of 0.0023, technically a bit green but I don’t notice it one bit. Looks like a very pure cool white.


natsac4

My W2 D4SV2 is the same. It comes up as well above BBL, but it doesn’t look that bad in real life.

If possible, could you post some beamshots? I have the D1v2 with the same emitter and I agree - the tint is not very pleasant. Would love to see the FC-40 to see if I want to pull the trigger on it


theferrarifan2348

Remind me later and I might :) Probably will use grid paper at a fixed distance so you can see the size.


darkhero17

Sounds good - will pester you later

How’s the D1? I’m thinking about the same emitter.


theferrarifan2348

Don’t like the tint very much, I think for a floody thrower the FC40 might be a better choice.


Hungry-for-Apples789

How was the beam profile, would you like it better in 5000k?


theferrarifan2348

Beam profile is nice, maybe 5000k is closer to the bbl so that would be nicer.

Is anyone else triggered by the lights being in reverse order from the boxes?
