Definitely would be interested in a 219 head if driven at a 'decent' level.
..decent being at least 3A.

Are you saying at least 3A per emitter? That is quite a lot for the 219. Efficiency goes way down there. I haven't personally seen it. Is it really worth it in your opinion?
Short answer: summer
Long answer:
We are working on another (small) batch of 219 heads, but several existing customers have first dibs.
New XPL heads start the 3 month assembly process as soon as this week, putting their availability in June.
Do you guys know when the Moddoolar pocket will be released again?
Hate to tell ya, but it's summer in OR right now. The forecast for today's high is 70 degrees.Short answer: summer

Nice choice!I would like to call dibs on a HA, ALTiN, Trit Wasp UCL, 219, 18350, triad/trit/clip, med press! Nice light. lovecpf
Seriously, keep up the great work!
The latest 219b heads are running 15w. This is equal to 4.5A total for the 3 leds. That should be in the "decent" range [emoji1]Definitely would be interested in a 219 head if driven at a 'decent' level.

Not sure what the two of you are referring to... Manufacturer recommended current is 1.5A per. The current 219B head is capped at 18W. That translates to roughly 1.8A per LED if my math is sound. On CPF anything goes, but there's no benefit to driving a 219B at 3A...unless you're just doing it for fun/science.

I love your infinitely variable idea but 3 amps total is plenty for me from an 18350.Wow Yeah I was meaning 3a total, but holy smokes 1.8 per is insane. I've got a single 219b running at 2.2a, but all the triples I build usually stop at around 1a/led.
I REALLY want one of these! I'd pay a premium for a 219 head right now..
15w is still nuts, 18w infinitely variable would be better, but either way I want, no, NEED ONE..

Well now if I remember correctly:
Volts X (times) Amps = Watts
(or) Watts divided by Amps equals Volts
So then 15 watts divided by 4.5 amps, means that you are saying that the emitters are getting about 3.3 volts? What am I missing?

Anyone put tritium a in theirs yet?
I am itching to but I have never done it before. Are there any recommendations for members in the US that will supply and install tritium?
Maybe I will just have to get some from Bert and give it a try.
