New XP-L High Intensity Emitter

I know they are exactly the same at every current level, just wanted to let people know that there’s a V3 already listed, because in the datasheet there was V2 as the highest flux-bin for the HI version.

As for the XP-L vs XM-L2 comparison, try to look at the XP-L not as a replacement of the XM-L2. It’s a different LED that can fit in places where the XM-L2 can’t. For example the 32XP noctigon board combined with LEDIL optics is a winner. Now with the XP-L HI, you can probably fit them under carclo optics without having to modify anything.

Again, the XM-L2 isn’t replaced, they still come up with higher flux-bins, now U4! I think those are only good news.

With dedoming, you always have a loss of total lumen output, tint shift, possibility of damaging, possibilty of ripping off some of the phosphor and if everything goes right, you end up with a much more fragile LED (if not resealed). Never been a fan of dedoming because of the above mentioned reasons. With the XP-L HI you have less output as well, because of the lower bins, but you’d get less output by dedoming anyways. According to the datasheet, the HI version gives a 120% increase in lux over the HD version using the same secondary optics, if that’s true, than this is more than I’ver ever seen someone achieved by just dedoming.

In a few months, you’ll find M2X Javelot competitors all over the place. Imagine the M25C2 Turbo with a XP-L HI…
Imagine all those sub 30$ lights that will do 100+ klux in stock form.

As mentioned before in this thread, this changes everything!

That M25C2 Turbo looks crazy, to bad its crazy expensive also, i hope some Chinese budget light maker clone that 92mm head with a single 18650, for an more affordable version :wink:

@ cajampa
exactly, that thing is a beast but it’s damn expensive. We need more lights of this type, but cheaper and with XP-L HI :wink:

I need four of these now. I wonder would they handle 5 amps each in my quad-DST thrower project.

Did they just put a clip on that light?

LOL :smiley: yes you are right, i didn’t even see that clip.
Who would ever walk around with something, as crazy wide as the M25C2 Turbo clipped to their pants or belt :smiley: i just cant see that happening.

If someone buys it please try it out & post a picture :smiley:

Thanks for the laugh this morning Ronin42 :wink:

There's a belt clip on it..

Looks like a Sipik with an expensive telephoto lens on the end..

I think it’s mainly because the M25C2 is just a bigger head version of the G25C2, anyways, thanks for pointing out the ridiculousness of it, made me laugh.

I’m fairly sure there are at least a few Cree employees lurking here - I’ve spoken to one of them that I randomly ran into at a bar. I know of one fairly regular poster who works (or worked?) there (never met him in person). Cree is based in the area where I live, so I have some very minor connections (my parents are neighbors/friends with one of the executives - before you ask, I have zero pull. Believe me, I’ve tried.).

It’s probably a decent guess that some of the folks with Raleigh/Durham/Cary/Apex NC in their Location could potentially work for Cree. I can’t imagine there’d be that many flashaholics in one town that don’t in some way work in the industry. I’m an outlier — I work in commercial real estate.

But yeah, fairly safe assumption that some of the folks there are at least aware of BLF.

Which of those is 2200k+/-?

Hey @RMM will you be the first to supply these new XPLs?

Does Cree even have a tint bin for that? Tints starting with ‘9’ or ‘10’, perhaps?

/me looks at the data sheets…

Okay, they have a special group of extra-yellow tint bins… so you want an AA3 bin? That sounds painful to look at. Anything warmer than ~3500K makes my eyes bug out.

Anything warmer than 4000k makes me order replacement emitters like there’s no tomorrow…

Lol 2200k was way off. Was meaning something Warm. 3000k-3200k

I’ll take your warm emitters if you ain’t want’n them :slight_smile:

(Seriously)

Yeah? I’ll start shipping you all my 2700k incan light bulbs.

I’ll take em!!!

I have some on order. They should be here in the next couple of weeks.

These new ones without the dome? Where did you order them from?

+1

maybe he got these
