I’m afraid other customers have already ordered the last XP-G2 3C version.
Too late to take it off for sale.
The XP-G2 S3 3D LED will in stock in a week time, is that ok for you?
Doh! I was hoping that wasn’t the case. I think I can wait a week. Does that include the assembly time or would it be +3 to 6 days after you get the 3Ds in stock?
do you know if he is offering the XP-G2 S2 1D, without it being de-domed? Would this be a floody emitter. I like floody! Is the floodiest one going to be the one he has next week? Appreciate the help.
I know Richard really liked his XPG2 S2 1D D-D, sort of recommended it if I may say that.
edit: another question - I’ve always read that dedoming an emitter is not an easy task. I would not want to try it. The XP-G2 S2 1D D-D offering is only $10 more. Doesn’t someone have to dedome (12) emitters? And it’s only $10? That’s cheap labor!
The XP-L's would be the floodiest I would think, but this light is not set up or has options for max flood (XP-L's must be de-domed and the optics are Carclo 10507 which are spots, not floods).
Hot super flood setup would be Carclo 10508's from Richard widened to take full domed XP-L's, then use the top bin V6 XP-L's. 10509's are even wider but Richard doesn't offer an option to widen them. I would think that it might be above 9K lumens based on Hanks' #'s. It would be like $92 to upgrade (maybe little cheaper), because of the LED's. Richard's widened optics are great btw - I've used a triple and quad and they came out great.
Sure would be nice to buy an M43 without LED's and optics and let us customize it ourselves . Basically a host plus driver... Would satisfy TK's request for tint mixing too.
If the info about no PWM is correct, I doubt tint mixing would look very good; the low levels would probably be a mess of color. However, I might try doing 8 x XP-G2 3D and 4 x Nichia 219, which should give nice neutral white output with more lumens than the Nichia setup normally gets. If done well, the 3D tint looks very close to a 219B.
Different optics might be nice though; I usually like flood except on dedicated throwers.
