Stacked camera sensors have been a thing for a while now; they have improved sensitivity to light by stacking translucent photodiodes on top of each other.

The Nichia 719A is the inverse; translucent LEDs are stacked on top of each other (in a single package) for increased intensity.

    I worry about the huge flux range. Most emitter bins are like ±4-5% flux. 719A bins are ±10% flux. So theoretically you could be looking at close to 20% swings in lumens and throw from emitter to emitter. And you can’t drive them past 2.5A so you can’t drop one into a D1/KR1 or any lights really since most 6V drivers are 4A+.

    Hopefully they are more throwy than an XPLHI or XHP35 otherwise idk.

    How do you think this will stack up against the SC64w Hi in terms of output? I have the SC64cLE and the w Hi and there is a noticeable bump in output with the Hi. I told myself I wasn’t going to buy another Zebra till the new SC700 is released…

    SIDENOTE-I downloaded Jerboa for Lemmy and it really makes for a decent reddit’ish experience. Thisight just work. ;). Thanks for getting this ball rolling.

      Probably a bit lower than the XHP35 HI, but maybe more throwy.

      I tried Jerboa and it didn’t want to stay logged in. I’m pretty content with the mobile website though.

        Sounds like it’ll be perfect for those who wanted a w Hi but didn’t get one. 👍 Maybe I’ll save my money for the 700.

        No matter how many times I set it to English and save the settings, the website would always default back to Arabic. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I just got Jerboa set up I guess I’ll see how it goes.

    “Estimated ship date: mid July”

    Do you know the timetable for Simon getting 719As in his lights? Last I heard it was supposed to be ~May-June. He might beat zebralight to the punch with the first 719A light.

      I don’t. I know he got a few emitters to experiment with, but it’s anybody’s guess when he gets them in quantity.
