Certain that the purple isn’t from the AR coating?
In my experience AR coatings tend to make it a bit yellower/warmer. Have you seen AR coatings that make it look cooler?
Depends on the colour of the coating, the tint can go anywhere. The green coating of my D80V2 actually works as a minus-green filter, a purple coating removes some red and bluecand so effectively makes the tint a bit greener. I have not seen red or orange coatings (apart from non-functional coatings on very cheap chinese binoculars), those would make a tint cooler.
(the FT03 mini lens has a purple coating)

I wish this was made with a 26650 or 21700 tube option
Is it normal to have a yellow spot (XHP50.2) in the center point of the hotspot? This is for the FT03 Mini
Hhmm, I've seen this before, recently. maybe on a SST-40... Can't recall on what light.
If you look closely at my photo, the very center has a yellow spot, I haven’t seen this before on an XHP50.2. Hard to see the spot on some screens
Thanks freeme but this is different.
No yellow spot at dead center of the beam.
I think it’s more to do with the reflector shape and focus than the led type. You can try adding a paper spacer under the centering ring to change the focus slightly.
I dont know if this is a common thing with the FT03 mini 50.2.
I have two monitors, one shows it that has accurate colours, the other is not visible
I can see the yellow spot on two different monitors, but I honestly don't know what it means.
It’s a focus issue but don’t think it can be fixed without removing the aux board. I think the reflector is too high. The SST40 is perfect though
Worthy of FT03 badge.
I have the same (dark spot in beam center) in a Skilhunt M200. I guess it is just a minor error in reflector geometry or position.
Received mine today with the SS bezel. Overall it's impressive. Mine is the 5000K SST-40, might be my first 5000K SST-40, and I do like this LED's tint and beam in this light.
The AUX LED setup is a bit confusing but I think I understand what's going on. Besides the switch LED, there are 4 separate LED SMD's around the main LED and they cycle through 6 patterns of:
RED, RED/GREEN, GREEN, GREEN/BLUE, BLUE, BLUE/RED (no white as the manual says)
You can't stop the cycling, can't select a separate color and have it stick. The reason is it doesn't work like an Emisar light is because it's using the ATTiny85 MCU, not the 1634, and therefore doesn't have the I/O pins or memory to control that many LED's. The AUX LED blinking is probably controlled by the add-on AUX LED board, assuming it's a Lexel design (?).
You can't even stop the switch LED from blinking, so maybe there's a firmware mod as well? Dunno, I find it annoying - only option to stop it is by turning it all off.
Ooops! My Bad! 6 clicks plus click/hold toggles through solid color choices.
What? I can choose what colour I want with the aux leds and it stores it after removing battery etc
