I received the xp-g2 5d2 4000k and a Nichia 219c 5000k. I much prefer the xp-g2 5d2 over the 219c. The 219c gets hotter and steps down way faster and bigger steps than the xp-g2. The small gain in brightness isnāt worth the added heat in my opinion. The tint of the xp-g2 isnāt pure white but it is below the black body line with a slight rosy hue which I love, especially with night adjusted eyes. I liked the 5d2 tint so much I ordered 3 more quad boards. One to swap out the 219cās in my green emisar and two more to play with in other lights.
Just got my xpg2 3d today. Love this little green hulk.
Found I had to set the temperature higher on mine as I like to hover between 600 to 1000 lumens and thermal management was dropping me below 600 lumens after just a short time of use.
Now with it adjusted I am very happy with this purchase.
Does anyone know if the offset optic fits this light without any modification.
If so could you please attach a link so I know what optic to purchase.
Do you mean the offset star? Thatās a replacement star for the LEDs to sit on where each LED is rotated at a different angle so the corona is much more even and not square.
The offset star replaces the stock star. They use the same optic.
You can buy the offset star at Mountain Electronics
OK got you. Thanks for the direction. Is this the one?
Is there a clip that works with this light? About to order two of them 
I want to be able to strap it to my hat with the 18350 tube. Also will the s4 3D be a good choice?
Yes, thatās the one. Youāll also need a soldering iron and basic soldering skills.
Anodized D1 and D1Sā¦. will be nice colours like green or only dark?
Here you can find macro pictures of this FL:

You can find more pictures on above link.
Kind regards
Cool pics gregor
I like my D4 on the rocksā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.
Did you have measured the lumens with stock LEDs and 319AT?
I have a spare Noctigon Board and want to use dedomed XP-L2 or 319AT Emitters. Now I have 219C.
Ordered 2!
I would love to see some beamshots of the 319AT as well. Hint hint
Lost lumens going to the 319 but the color is a soft eggshell white and profile is nice, I think itās worth the loss as the amperage went down as well.
No lights on, blinds closed so itās pretty dark in the roomā¦. you can see behind the elk on the clock that thereās a discoloration in the center of the hot spotā¦
This rather awkward shot at the 1ā square white ceiling tiles (styrofoam, pure white) shows the dark center and some oddity to the colorās in the peripheralā¦ all in all not bad but too similar to the XP-G3 for my tastes.
Sorry, these are on my new iPhone SE, too crippled up to use a real camera and get down on the ground for the ceiling shots.
Might have to dig around and come up with 4 XP-G2 for this oneā¦
Someone posted a pic or maybe it was a link, of a nice holster for the d4, canāt seem to find it in this massive threadā¦ It had orangeish stitching and a nice texture material.
Anyone know what holster Iām talking aboutā¦?
I think it was a manker holster
Thanks for the reply Geuzzz, but nope, Manker holster doesnāt have all the orangish stitching. Thought I saved its link somewhere, but canāt find it for the life of me, beautiful holster it wasā¦.
Ok, so now my D4 is equipped with the XP-G2ās that I removed from my DQG x7 XP-G2 light. Theyāre a bit on the warm side, not bad, slightly more so than the 319ās.
Edit: Bangood doesnāt stipulate further than NW, so these are probably in the 4000K range tint wise, pretty warm for me.
Iām guessing it was the Convoy holster. Iāve got a couple, they fit my S2+ and various other 18650 tube lights.
