I already have one (Manker version/Nichia) and I also ordered the SS ver and the colored SS ver. It really is a great light, and a great future host, too.
My lux meter cable broke right after my Imalent review test. I am still waiting for my new meter to come in. I have a quite a few new gears to work with this week. I will publish the results if I manage to fix my broken meter.
Sorry if it’s been asked already, but are the traces on the MCPCB set up properly this time vs the wrong way on the standard S41? ie… negative traces should be on the outside edge of the board?
Does the xpg3 have color options? 5000k? Does it pull 16A on a 18650? How much on a 18350? Is cr123 usable?
XPG3 should have 1000lm @ 3Am times 4 should be in the ballpark of 4000lm on turbo. Or more if you can pull more amperes considering the low vf at 4A, then 5600 emiter lumens is very possible. In reality at least 3000?
Robert , if you look closely , leds has been reflowed on the opposite direction , and negative lead from the driver has been connected to the “+” side (outside) of the LED board .
