As above. Looks like you lose lumens vs. an XML but you get a lovely neutral tint and great colour rendering. Thought it might help with depth perception? Anyways, p60 drop in triples are currently silly money but I've seen that a triple board with 3x emitters can be had for around $20.
Think we are reaching the point where we can afford to trade no of lumens to get the quality of the light right!
Has anyone had a play with these yet?
You can get neutral tint 4000k XM-L and XP-G emitters
So. I've decided to give it a go, despite being able to buy something cheaper and/or better. I'm rubbish with electronics but the best way to learn is by doing, right?

I've ordered a triple Nichia 219 star (plus driver and various other bits and bobs) from here: https://illuminationsupply.com/nichia-nvsl219ath1-4500k-92-cri-b10-bin-20mm-triple-star-p-160.html

And one of the 20mm housings (as above) from here: http://www.easy2led.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=181
I should be able to cobble the rest of the bits I'll need from what I have in the parts box.
Not sure how long it will all take to arrive but when it does I'll probably need to ask some basic soldering questions. Can't wait!
