This light has definitely given me the biggest mechanical challenge of any mod thus far. It’s fun though
I’ve also had a hard time choosing the right emitter. It’s dd but dd is only accessible via double click. Still, if I want to use 219b, 219c I will need to reduce the 2x click turbo as well. Maybe an xpg3 would be ok and xpl2 would probably do well though only for short bursts. But putting a direct drive driver in a light like this shows it’s desire to make an impression. Any of the old gen leds will work well but will fade more with the battery on regulated modes.
So, I think I would like to stick to the plan and make an impression. I have an xpl2 here with 80+ cri and if the beam is not satisfactory I can add a shuttle filter.
Ahhh! What am I thinking! A useful edc light like this without 90+ cri! I can’t let that happen! Maybe tomorrow I will reconfigure my hex file to accommodate a 219c 4000k 9050. Xpg3 90+ would be an option as well but only if I could find a tir lens to fit this thing.
What do you think? Am I making the right choice? 219c?
