Ok so it’s a more efficient LED butt its reflowing fickleness and subsequent performance variation makes me a bit hesitant that ultimately it’s worth the bother to take out all my XPG2 S4 2B’s. I just don’t run my flashes for long periods of time enough to really gain from the runtime gains plus what appears to be not that much of a lumen/lux boost.
I mean for the hassles involved I might as well wait for LEP’s to go modder mainstream - as in cheap and prevalent.
As for new hosts sure why not give it a go butt I’m not expecting my socks to get blown off here either. I’ll prolly wait till a GB comes along with one in it too.
Ok. I went into my cold shed for you guys and have some measurements.
I think I usually measure a bit lower than others around here and I measured some lights again to have a good(ish) reference.
I have a almost clear image of the die, but I feel it can be a tiny bit better focused.
I did not measure ampdraw, but I got best results using an old protected keeppower 18650. With better cells I got worse results. So it is indeed better to keep the amps down a bit.
