Preliminary XP-G 2 real word results

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.

I’ve seen them here:

10mm board

20mm board

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.

here it is from INT-OUT

edit just notice they are sold out!

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? :stuck_out_tongue: :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!)

Thanks Sashix and Match. I dont really want or need a pencil beam light but if all goes well the weekend looks more exciting than it was. Match This will be going on a copper pill similar to my HD-2010 2 x 26650 battery mods https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/9637 . What amps would you start at. I would be using a kd 3040 amp or 2.8 amp 7135 driver. I would have to take of chips to reduce the amperage.

The perfect white tint is one of the most exciting “features” for me :slight_smile: After 2 years “playing” with various emitters, I can clearly say that premium Q5s have the best tint :heart_eyes: Pure white without any “strange” hue. So, if this emitter has similar tint, I’m in :stuck_out_tongue:

Here you go, perfect driver for that emitter :stuck_out_tongue: (I can be wrong though)
