wonderful news! Got two coming on the slow boat! Cant wait for the extreme match test for this one!
thanks for the info
Looks like a 20% increase at 1.4a sweet!
Might have to order a couple of these to mod my stepson’s torch and build one for myself… 
News to me...never heard that before.

So, stock is XP-G R5 vs. modded XP-G 2?
[/quote]
That is correct.
What tint did you get, did it match what you ordered? How is the quality of the tint?
Sounds great, Match! The increase in throw is amazing!
These are the 1A tint R5's from cutter, which is what I ordered. The tint quality is pure white, with no discernible color shifts near the edges. I'm very happy.
Thanks for the prelims,match,I can't wait t see the slab-o-copper test.I want to see the poor little thing scream out 800 lumens,I wonder if cree will offer "s"bins for the g2.
Wow!
Nice work Match. Looks good.
Very interesting and good job Match.
I have a question though, shouldn’t the new XP-G 2 be S4 bin since it puts out 20% more light than an R5?
Where are XP-G2s available?
I try to cutter but $19 registered airmail with no tracking No.
It would be good to know how hard it can be pussed in Amps to use it with aspherics for throw.
In any case, a 20% more output than XP-G is a good thing.
For aspheric set up.
20% more out put.
5-10% out put in term of narrow beam 125 and 115 degrees.
I plan to drive with 6x7135 V2 around 2.28A + 67mm aspheric.
I assume around 150,000± lux and 4xspot compared with XR-E .
That sounds good Pok,
Show us the results once you got it please :cowboy_hat_face:
BobK,
I think you'll like them. Once I see how they perform at 2+ amps they may start replacing a few of my xm-l's in certain lights. If I can get close to 600L otf with double the throw of an xml, that'll be perfect for a few torches.
Match. I do not have any idea how this would work hence the question. How would this LED work in the likes of the HD-2010?
Pencil beam with 120K lux? 
:bigsmile:
Honestly I don't know for sure (I don't own an HD-2010...sad I know). My guess would be similar to SashiX, in which the lux would definitely increase, but by how much I couldn't tell you. Not every reflector works well with emitters other than what they were designed for. It could be a ringy horrible beam, or it could turn out to be the combo of the year.... Guess we won't know till it's tried. (My money is on the latter!)
