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.
I always thought that a single die blue/white led has an inherent forward voltage of around 3v, and to get a higher voltage white led you have to string multiple dies together. e.g the 6v Mt-g2 is not a single die led but an array, xhp is a quad etc.
Maybe they could do something to minimize the gaps between multiple dies though, that would be good.
I’m just waiting and praying for an MT-G3, higher CRI, higher output, denser array pattern etc
I hope custom’s does not keep or hold onto this led like they have from my last order with Hank.
Hank was even nice enough to send another shipement of XM-L2’s and even it hasn’t made it here either and I think this is all on custom’s.
Iv’e ordered from Hank before and it went smooth and he even writes back when he can on advice when he does not have to so I do not want to deter anyone from ordering from him as like I said I just now ordered one of these MT-G2’s myself.
