who is buying me a XP-E2 Torch led? Update: DBCstm did, test is in post#81

So yeah, y’all better make sure they’re all accounted for! :stuck_out_tongue:

There was a pretty quick interest in 30 of em. If I’m keeping 10 then it’s easy to see why I got 50 for the price break. This allowed me to get em for $1.71 ea. That will help a little to offset some costs to the European modders. :wink:

I too was wondering how 4 of these would do in a quad, de-domed….

Great to hear that Dale! Thanks for stepping up and helping the community.

Just say when & how to pay and how much..

Thanks again!

From the Datasheet:

So, same output but tighter spot than XP-G2! All you’s guys with yore XP-G2 “lasers” will have to upgrade now!

Richard, I want to be the first to buy one, when you make it. Don’t forget to de-dome! :wink:

Yeah. I'm planning on sticking it in a TK61, dedomed, at 5A. Maximum beam width at 100 yards is approximately 10 cm diameter.

Sounds perfect for the Uniquefire 1504/1405….

:open_mouth: 10cm at 100yds!!!

LOL

Nice coiled tape of tiny little emitters. Purdy cool! :slight_smile:

Now, do I start testing or start shipping? :stuck_out_tongue:

The things I’m most interested in are the Vf and how much the tint shifts with a dedome

Hey Dale, sent me a couple of them and The Sphere ’o Many Mysteries can measure that…

Shipping with right hand and testing with the left one?

Really be cool to see the stats that you can measure.

I’ve got a lot of these to spread around people, speak up, don’t make me eat Ramxpe noodle soup!

$1.72 apiece, that’s the price I got em for by buying 50. A couple of folks have spoken up but y’all need to clean me out on these. :slight_smile:

Yep, I’m definitely in for 2. (yes, I know, only 2)

I have 4 in the gas.

We’ll see.

Looking forward to the results!

Did you do any preliminary testing on color and tint?

What were these binned?

Gas? Blasphemy.

Correct me if I’m wrong. I just looked at the Cree Product Characterization tool a little while ago. It has specs for the various emitters and there are three columns so that you can compare multiple emitters to each other directly. I chose: XP-G2, XP-E2, and XP-E2 Torch to compare. I see that the XP-E2 Torch is rated for higher amperage than XP-E2. But, other than that, the performance is not as good as the XP-E2, and not even close to XP-G2 when you measure in lumens-per-watt. The XP-E2 Torch also has a significantly higher Vf than either of the others. Really, what is the draw here? :~

Edit: I should say, total lumens output is higher than XP-E2 because of the higher Vf and being rated for higher amperage. But, really, is the XP-E2 that much smaller than XP-G2? Because, the lumens-per-square-mm would be the only advantage I can think of that this thing might have.

OMG! These things are TINY!

About an hour in the gas, I pulled em out and dome was sitting top but easily lifted right off. About to mount em on 10mm SinkPAD’s….

Maybe a touch early on the de-gasing?
Looks to me like you lost a bit of corner phosphor on each dome, not enough to notice in a reflector light but maybe visible in an aspheric.
