Single point LED....
« on: November 11, 2014, 06:31:48 PM »
Yes another LED thread!!!

I am going back and forth with the Saati guys getting info on their single point exposure LED "Bulb". Anyone here heard anything on it?

I'll try to link or post the PDF...

I knew this was coming from them and others are working on it as well.  But that's one of the worst sales pdf's I've ever witnessed.  I guess if there isn't much to show or say then that's what you get but damn that's some 1970's stuff right there.

I've got a brand new one sitting in the box here. I'm planning to test with it Thursday so I'll let you know my thoughts.

Seriously!? set that SOB up now!  ;D  I no more than 4 hrs. before I started talking to the Saati guy emailed over a PO for a LED exposure unit!  >:(  Gonna see if I can politely retract that for now and see what I can find out about the Saati one.

I would think that crinkle finish reflector would create a lot of light scatter.

Would be nice if it would just drop in as a retrofit for a MH unit.

I don't think that reflector really matters since the LED is directional unlike a traditional bulb.

I wonder if the blue guy will say this is a bad idea, as his had 31% more better LEDs than the red guys lol Sorry had to do it.
I would think anyone with the traditional unit could convert their units in an afternoon.

Dammit, when did this happen?  I'm sure we'll be  very happy with our starlight but this would have been a very easy drop in for us at a seventh of the price.  Anyone know how far away from the glass it shoots? different reflector options?

Yeah, this wouldn't be hard to drop in place if you ask me!  I'm very interested in your findings as well.  Maybe I can trade them out a redesign of their PDF for one. ;)

Sounds like Danny will have the most educated review, but the engineer from Saati is calling me in the am and I can try to give the Tim Taylor/Wilsion(anyone) explanation of what I'm told. ;D

I would actually really enjoy to hear Rich's thoughts. Blue, red, green, black, purple aside I still find Rich's thoughts and insight informative. Also would love to hear from Alan from Murakami!

Honestly, if this is faster than a 1k MH unit and uses a 120v and has no warmup and can hold the same relative detail, I will buy one ASAP...as soon as others have a chance to thoroughly test it who I trust :D
