It has a nice wide beam and still puts out some lumens, not as much as a quad or triple but is has more “throw”. It pulls 8.45A from a fresh VTC6, settling @ a mere 3.22A after stepdown.
I also swapped the emitter in a Sofirn SP31 to a XP-L HD 5A3 :
As probably most of us I was always using 1D’s or 1A’s for dedoming. As I have replaced the 3D xp-g2’s in my Emisar D4 for 5D I had some 3D’s to play with.
I dedomed them and really like the tint. Put one in my otr i3 and one in my B158. Liking this much much better
Swap stock LED from Thrunite Ti3 with Nichia 219x from Fasttech. Pics taken using same setting and manual white balance, hopefully they show the actual tint colors.
This week I received a cheap AA/14500 zoomie! The tint was the blueish I ever had, so I decided to mod it and gave it a XML2 T6-3C I had laying around. After swapping the LED, I made another mod and gave it an improvised “shelf” to the pill as it didn’t had one! I also added a spring to the driver
Here are the pics of the mod !
