Better than that would be if they did to MT-G2 what they just did with XP-G2/E2. They came out with a “new” XP-E2 Torch emitter that has the same output as a XP-G2, but in a smaller die size. Maybe they could make a single-die MT-G2 equivalent output emitter in XM-L2 die size! I know they already have XHP-50 and XHP-70 but those are quad die.
Since we’re speculating wildly here
I’d love a smaller or rather, a more tightly packed mt-g2 array die. That would be great, it’s all about minimizing those inter-die gaps.
But I think what we like so much about the mt-g2, primarily for me the nice even tint and decent output is mostly down to that multi-die raised array pattern of the emitter. I suspect a single die version the size of an XML would simply be an XML, if you get my drift?
I hope Cree will actually keep developing the MT-XX range and not just shift to quad die emitters to fill that requirement.
I’m sure you’re right! I just have a lot of research to do. I don’t know a lot about them and I am trying to find a host that’s not too hard to put together and is on the budget side of things.
I’m thinking of this one if it is still available. It looks like all I would need to do is grind down the 22mm FET driver from Mountain Electronics.
An XML that puts out the quantity and quality of light like an MTG is exactly what I’m talking about. I didn’t know the MT-G2 was a multi-die emitter. But, what I’m asking for is more light in a smaller die, like they did by making a “XP-E2 Torch” emitter that acts like a XP-G2 in a smaller size. I don’t really care if they do or don’t continue the MT-XX line itself, as long as the technology is improving. If they want to make a smaller MT-G2 and call it XM-L3, it won’t hurt my feelings.
hehe, it’s a great emitter. IMO best suited to flood type lights but if you like the look of the die projection you can certainly make it work in an aspheric. Other members here have put it in a Jax z1 and similar lights so if you search for that you’ll see what it can do.
