Stacked camera sensors have been a thing for a while now; they have improved sensitivity to light by stacking translucent photodiodes on top of each other.

The Nichia 719A is the inverse; translucent LEDs are stacked on top of each other (in a single package) for increased intensity.

"Estimated ship date: mid July"

Do you know the timetable for Simon getting 719As in his lights? Last I heard it was supposed to be ~May-June. He might beat zebralight to the punch with the first 719A light.

I don't. I know he got a few emitters to experiment with, but it's anybody's guess when he gets them in quantity.
