There will be multiple options for the LED’s. SST-20’s in 4000k 95cri (hopefully with a better bin then has been available before), 5000k 70cri and 6500k 70cri.
The XP-G3’s cost a bit less but if the sample units with the SST-20 test well then I think I can talk them into ditching the XP-G3 unless Banggood demands it for some reason.
The demand for 3000k has historically been so low that honestly they did not consider it and I never brought it up except in passing.
They have been quite open to custom versions of the light if enough demand is shown though, so if there is demand for a 3000k version I bet it could happen.
The benchmark has not really been set for “enough demand” but my guess from talking to them is 100 is a good number to start with but they might need more interest for things that require custom orders.
Just saw a video of someone who modded their MF01 with 90 cri LH351Ds and it’s outputting 20000 lumens, 60kcd. Would that be a good LED for this light?
Yeah, The dogfarts are good for this; very floody. Care to share the link? Curious to see what driver they’re using; I’m installing my Lexel driver today and am planning on an emitter swap soonish.
There is just one thing that I do not like here (as well as on FT03), color of the ring around the button, I wish it was SS or just polished aluminium or even blue like on olight lights, anything would be better than this dark rose gold or whatever it is.
I really wish they’d use LH351Ds in this. I asked mateminco and they said they’ve contacted suppliers but it’s hard to find. It’s either that the tax is too much or they don’t ship to China.
