In my modded RGBW Emisar D4 I’m currently using a XP-G2 as single white LED with FET driver. Must be XP footprint, I would like more output and a good tint, preferably warm, rosy and high CRI. XP-L HI should fit, might try this in future, but I don’t like them much in lights with carclo. Nichia 219C gets blue at 9 Amps, XP-L does not fit under dome. Don’t know about XP-L2 though.
Widen the optic aperture for XP-L?
I have a triple XP-L 3D,bought the optic modded from RMM but it can be easily done.
Only slight jagginess around the corona.
Prob best to have spare optics though
Ah, yes, now I remember I’ve read about this a while ago. Will try to find the regarding thread to learn the best way for widening. I’m sure I have some cracked optics somewhere for exercise. Thanks!
In most cases you wont meet tint shift problems with 10mm tir (that you can see with reflector
), so warm XP-L2 looks best option.
But my suggest is - forget about CRI. With new LEDs you have much bigger probability meeting ugly tint if you order hi-cri.
