Doh! I was hoping that wasn’t the case. I think I can wait a week. Does that include the assembly time or would it be +3 to 6 days after you get the 3Ds in stock?
One week time in total.
Yeah, I can wait… buying flashlights and the like from the other side of the planet has taught me some patience. 
Not of the dedomed xpg2.
Unless the website is showing up wrongly for me
do you know if he is offering the XP-G2 S2 1D, without it being de-domed? Would this be a floody emitter. I like floody! Is the floodiest one going to be the one he has next week? Appreciate the help.
I know Richard really liked his XPG2 S2 1D D-D, sort of recommended it if I may say that.
edit: another question - I’ve always read that dedoming an emitter is not an easy task. I would not want to try it. The XP-G2 S2 1D D-D offering is only $10 more. Doesn’t someone have to dedome (12) emitters? And it’s only $10? That’s cheap labor!
Why not try the latest XP-G2 S4 2B option ? better tint and more flood than the S2 1D dedomed.
Wow 
nice :), both a new higher flux bin of the XP-G2 the S4 & soon a S3 in my favorite, the 3D hue bin.
Hank, will you be offering the S4 2B & the S3 3D on noctigon’s soon or are those reserved for the Meteor M43?
Since all orders are custom, is it possible to order a M43 with more than one type of emitter? For example, 4 x Nichia 219B and 8 x XP-G2 S3 3D?
Is the bezel glued, or can it be opened to access the emitters?
My sample wasn't glued, but I didn't take it off all the way. Again, because I didn't want to break it 
.
The S4 2B are already available here.
Yes, we will also offer S3 3D on Noctigon when it’s in stock.
Thanks.
Sorry, we do not have plan to offer more LED options for M43.
The bezel will not be glued in the final product.
The XP-L's would be the floodiest I would think, but this light is not set up or has options for max flood (XP-L's must be de-domed and the optics are Carclo 10507 which are spots, not floods).
Hot super flood setup would be Carclo 10508's from Richard widened to take full domed XP-L's, then use the top bin V6 XP-L's. 10509's are even wider but Richard doesn't offer an option to widen them. I would think that it might be above 9K lumens based on Hanks' #'s. It would be like $92 to upgrade (maybe little cheaper), because of the LED's. Richard's widened optics are great btw - I've used a triple and quad and they came out great.
Sure would be nice to buy an M43 without LED's and optics and let us customize it ourselves 
. Basically a host plus driver... Would satisfy TK's request for tint mixing too.
thank you Tom for sharing this info. It helps me to decide, or not.

A host with everything but LED’s for a $15-20 discount is something I could get behind!
If the info about no PWM is correct, I doubt tint mixing would look very good; the low levels would probably be a mess of color. However, I might try doing 8 x XP-G2 3D and 4 x Nichia 219, which should give nice neutral white output with more lumens than the Nichia setup normally gets. If done well, the 3D tint looks very close to a 219B.
Different optics might be nice though; I usually like flood except on dedicated throwers.

Dunno if at all it would be practical for Hank - basically he'd be selling somewhat untested components maybe, or, the testing is more difficult without LEDs/optics
I want to get one of these but am undecided about which one to get.
I’d really like to see a beamshot of the tint on the dedomed 1D. I am somewhat of a tint snob and haven’t gotten good results with dedomed CREE LEDS.
Unfortunately, it sounds like there’s only one dedomed 1D sample, and it’s in the mail somewhere heading from RMM to the next tester.
The Nichia has the best tint, but it’s output is over 50% lower than with XPG2. That’s a pretty huge hit in lumens. This would be my largest and heaviest LED light. It should carry a real wow factor over my smaller lights. I’m not sure 4000 lumens is enough.
I really like the tint on those 4000K LEDs RMM had. Maybe if I don’t like the tint on whatever meteor I get I could just buy a dozen of those and reflow.
The XP-G2 version would basically get you one mode higher than the Nichia version.
As for “wow factor”, that’s affected more by the distance to your target than it is by the actual lumen number. My 500-lm SC52 looks just as impressive as my 3300-lm Cypreus, if I shine the SC52 from ~5 inches and the Cypreus from ~20 inches. Muggles don’t really know the difference as long as the spot hurts to look at.
I already have a Sinner Cypreus Tri-EDC copper with FET driver and triple dedomed XPL neutral (probably 3000 lumens). I also have a tiny modded Convoy S2+ mini with FET driver and domed XPL 3d with modded 10507 optic (around 2500 lumens).
The Meteor will be several times bigger than the Cypreus and probably 8x bigger than the Convoy. If I’m going to get a big light like that, it would be nice for it to feel like a substantial upgrade in output.
