Thanks djozz. :)
The MT-G2 needs much deeper reflector in order to "throw". It will not throw much at if its in a similar sized (with and depth) reflector as SRK triple.
Lets take a look at the SRK@32W vs MT-G2 in much deeper and larger reflector (ZY-T13) @ about 21W.
Ill take some beamshots from this thread.
SRK, modded to 3A+ to the emitters and NW XM-L2 (80+ CRI). About 32 Watt - mouse out
ZY-T13 MT-G2 @ 3,29A. About 21 watt- mouse over
Let compare with pictures from this thread (pictures have different exposure and WB, which is the reason why I do not take SKR de-domed vs ZY-T13 with MT-G2)
SRK, modded to 3A+ to the emitters and NW XM-L2 (80+ CRI). About 32 Watt - mouse out (same light as the mouse out in the previous shot)
SRK, stock 2,3A to the emitters, 3 de-domed CW XM-L (T6). About 22-23Watt? Mouse over
I think its quite clear that the 3/3 de-domed XM-Ls in a SRK reflector will EASILY out throw an MT-G2 in much larger an deeper reflector. So should 2/3.
1/3 XM-Ls de-domed will probably do the trick as well. At least be somewhat similar. Again, the XM-Ls are in a smaller reflector. And Im not even putting (de-domed) XP-G2s in the equation if throw is the goal.
Relic38 answered a question for me here. Ill quite him since he have the numbers.
His MT-G2 light uses more energy, about 34W vs 28,5W for the SRK, it has a slightly wider reflector, it has a much deeper reflector, and none of his XM-L emitters are de-domed....
I think this backs up what I said above. 2/3 de-domed XM-L2s will easily out throw an MT-G2 despite sitting in a smaller reflector. And you can still save the tint/CRI and maintain output that are probably slightly higher than an MT-G2, if not pretty equal. If you want less throw. 1/3 de-domed.. The flexibility is great!

[quote=djozz] A concern that may not be a real world problem: I found in my weird but fun handbuild 9V light that two leds of different tint, even if almost on top of each other, will give funny shadow effects because the light of the different colour come from a slightly different angle. Does this happen to these lights as well (reflectors will make this effect less, but the leds are further apart than in my build). [/quote]
I think I have noticed what you describe when holding two lights side by side. When emitters are combined in the same (SRK) reflector, I have not experienced the effect.
I hope others will share their experiences in this thread when it comes to mixing emitters in similar ways as I described in OP.
