I kind of doubt that you will see 219C options in these anytime soon but I could be wrong. Far as I know Astrolux doesn’t have any lights using the 219C right now and it would not make a lot of sense to get them just for this light.

I just checked Mankers site and in the Manker E14 version it is now available with 219C LEDs.

I asked Manker about it and got these details in a mail:

_219C details:
Tint: 4000K
CRI: 90+
Output: 1800 Lumens_

Just got my s41s from that flash sale a few pages back. It is the newest version, no glue on head.

Interestingly, the knurling on the body is flat without the peaks but the tail cap has the peaks and is very aggressive. I may do something similar to vwpieces so that the knurling matches.

The beam is floody with no defined hotspot, unlike my aluminum s41 which has a defined hotspot. I think the optic to LED distance isn’t spaced correctly.

To much inconsistency in these lights to be able to recommend them.

All I know is both of mine work great, both stock and modded. I have a 1st batch S41 and then this latest S41S.

Able to share your feedback?

[mattjk]

Sure, i have 2 also

Tailcap and tube with different knurling

One tube fits snug to the copper heatsink, the other sits about a half a mm off (same with the tailcap too)

the revised design the optics are to far away from the LED resulting in a strange beam pattern

Other than that it is consistent lol.

How long until Amazon has a Mateminco store?

I got my S41s in the mail today. Same source as those above. Very nice light, however now that I have one I need to familiarize myself with the documented issues. I can only use it in the bottom two modes or it shuts down at 36 sec and won’t start back up until after a little wait :person_facepalming:

I have the nichia version but the CRI is low and very close to the XM-L2 3D tint… Very far from the A01 Astrolux.

[lionheart_2281]

Is XGP2 or XPG3 better as far as brightness / tint go?

[Texas_Ace]

Tint = 219
Brightness = XP-G3

The XP-G2 is the lame duck in this race.

[lionheart_2281]

Thanks, a few have said that the 219 tint isn’t that nice, might get the XPG3

@lionheart_2281

Thats what I did, plus it is a bit cheaper. I would rather get the G3 version and enjoy the brightness and then swap to some LED’s of my choice later.

I have a mixed tint XP-G2 S41 that is great and a 219C 90+ CRI that is also great.
