Hello everyone,
Since Sofirn’s SF14 V2.0 (tailclicky), SP10 V2.0 and SP10S (e-sideswitch) AA/14500 flashlights are very successful I am thinking about asking Sofirn for a small batch (500 pcs) of a red light version with XP-E2 red (620nm wavelength), called SP10R or SF14R, and/or XP-G3 deep red (660nm), called SP10DR or SF14DR.
Both emitters fit nicely into these hosts and should perform well without any problems. While XP-E2 red has a small die area leading to a tighter hotspot and a bit more throw of red light, the XP-G3 deep red comes with a larger die area, a bit more power/lumens, less throw and a „deeper“ red (660nm) in comparison to red (620nm) which looks a bit more orange-red.
Djozz has already taken a look at the new XP-G3 deep red and his first feedback sounds promising.
Both LEDs are available at Mouser and Cutter. Sofirn has already implemented the XP-E2 red in Wurkkos‘ WK30, so they should be able to source some additional quantities.
How do you like the idea? Are you interested?
