Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
What if you put two of those led clusters in there, think it would give a stronger faster cook? Just curious.
A very interesting thread and project, still a bit on the pricey side though.I live in the heart of LED production in China, after reading this thread I decided to do some checking around and I am shocked at how cheap these LED's are....I can get a box of 500 for $125 Each bulb is 5watt, puts out 395nm wavelength. Makes me wonder how companies are getting off charging $5000 for these things.
Here is a shot of the inside. I believe it is a different light than what you are talking about. It is the same light that is in the Saati and the Ryonet FX Eposure unit, Saati makes the light, Ryonet builds the box / android app.The light and controller pictured above I believe came in at just under 2k. So the total cost was probably less than $2300, but I like to over estimate. Check with Saati on pricing though as I could be wrong, I don't sign the checks.Basically it is just built up so that the center of the light is even with the center of the screen, and around 25-30" from the screen to the light. It looks like the glass comes off the front easily which may decrease exposure time, but we are already faster than we need to be, so it isn't of great concern and I'd rather keep the light clean from dust.Lastly, to improve we probably could've painted the inside of the box black with a paint to absorb light, as there is likely some reflecting off the sides, top, bottom, back, but it doesn't seem to be effecting anything, and my screen guy said he is getting easier wash out of the image than with our 5k.Pretty low tech, but well functioning. My biggest complaint is the controller only has up and down arrows for setting seconds, minutes, or hours, it'd be nice to have a keypad to just key in seconds, but changing between around 15-30 seconds isn't a huge deal. Just if you are listening Saati, if you have a better controller, send it over
I know this is an old thread but thought I would still ask.... where did you purchase the bulb from, directly from Saati or another distributor? Thanks!
