Cree has released an R5 XPE-HEW

it is cheaper than XPG, but a lot more floody.

Also unlike the XP-E we are familiar with, this one is not really meant for flashlights, except maybe in a mule application (no reflector or optics.

I can’t see how this is moore floody than xp-g. The die size is smaller (afair), and the emitting spread/angle is almost the same.

Looks like it has a frosted dome, so it's like putting a diffuser on it.
