wanna share a link? I know avnet europe has them but price is higher. Dunno if future electronics ships from eu
Thoughts on the Zeus 308 board?

- Start date
Digikey ships from US warehouse, same for Arrow
EDIT: I paid 30usd customs fee on a 150usd order, shipping included

Yea, if you buy from digikey you need to add at least 19% VAT. Shipped from germany within the eu there is no additional VAT or custom fees to pay.

All lm301b are not the same bin as ours. Plenty of lower bins around. HLG gets the best of the best from Samsung direct. Our same leds are not available to distributors or manufacturers. We have a special arrangement with Samsung

I can buy 7% more of any led for the same price or less if I buy a lower bin. We pay a premium for the very best but I guess that doesn't matter.

Not if the end result isn't actually "better" no
So this "better" bin is apparently not "better" enough to actually matter. You might be talking about 0.0001% "better" for all we know.

Sounds like sphere tests are in order. All I can tell you is it's ~5% better currently which means you will need around 50% more leds at any given wattage to match the efficiency vs available Lm301b ...

Is this sphere verified or data sheet? Also at what temperature? If this is flash data with no driver losses then no it's not better.
Would be nice of them to share the actual sphere data from an accredited lab.

Also it would be very surprising for Samsung to lie to us especially since they make these for us.... Idk seems odd to me.

The description and specs on that page is so perfect. Literally EVERYTHING you could ask about it is answered there. That AT LEAST, They did a reeeeeeeeal good job on. As far as the price... Horrible.

There's cheaper $6 boards of that exact same one.

Are these 560 strips bare or heatsinked that you're using? Very interested in these 560mm 2000+ lumen boards for $6.50. Max out at 1.4 amps but I'd think at 1050mA it'd be fine with no heatsink at all. I wonder if they can run at 1.4 bare? Or at least with just some GOOD air circulation in a tent or something. Constant air exchange 3-5x per minute let's say.

The $6.50 EB strips are not the same. They are only 2000 lumens while the Vesta strips are 3192 lm (2700K) + 3352 lm (5000K) for 6544 total lumens for just $3 more. They are actually a pretty good deal if you don't mind the lower efficiency.

This is an EBgen1 test, EBgen2. should be a bit better as they produce less heat.

Do you know if you are the only one since having such a deal with Samsung? Conceivable that they have a similar deal?
