hehe, it’s a great emitter. IMO best suited to flood type lights but if you like the look of the die projection you can certainly make it work in an aspheric. Other members here have put it in a Jax z1 and similar lights so if you search for that you’ll see what it can do.
I always thought that a single die blue/white led has an inherent forward voltage of around 3v, and to get a higher voltage white led you have to string multiple dies together. e.g the 6v Mt-g2 is not a single die led but an array, xhp is a quad etc.
Maybe they could do something to minimize the gaps between multiple dies though, that would be good.
I’m just waiting and praying for an MT-G3, higher CRI, higher output, denser array pattern etc
I hope custom’s does not keep or hold onto this led like they have from my last order with Hank.
Hank was even nice enough to send another shipement of XM-L2’s and even it hasn’t made it here either and I think this is all on custom’s.
Iv’e ordered from Hank before and it went smooth and he even writes back when he can on advice when he does not have to so I do not want to deter anyone from ordering from him as like I said I just now ordered one of these MT-G2’s myself.
I have looked very carefully at the ansi light charts and compaired the xml tints to the MT-G2 tints (for the P0 and Q0 5000K tints only) the 2 step “MTGBEZ-00-0000-0N00P050H” 70 CRI is centered right on the intersection of 3b-3c-3d-3a with a slight bias of 3B being the closest match (again on paper based on cree specs) YMMV.
I have also noticed that when I up binned my P0 to Q0 “good” lights I used one of the leftover P0 MT-G2 emitters but drove it DD and it is now in fact “whiter/cooler” then the “higher” binned Q0. My point being that the “coolness” of the MT-G2 is also a function of how hard it is bing driven.
