I called one of my buddies to help me to take pictures, and he also took one of his XP-G2 S4 2B dedomed emitter so I did pill with his emitter.
I know now that I did not get XPGS42B emitter for sure! I will complaint to Hank about that. That is no way to treat old costumer!
Differences are huge… So with this experiment I confirmed to myself that real XP-G2 S4 2B has one of the nicest de domed tints(neutral creamy white with just bit greenish pigment)
left “new” batch XPG2S42B emitter right is real XPG2S4B emitter
So I have terrible start of the year. First strike on me is that 25 out of 50 1503 lenses were bad and I complaint and got replacement hand selected lenses and they are all ok now. UF factory is positive to deal with.
And now this: I did not got XP-G2 S4 2B emitter… And this really drives me crazy… I cant sell 250 kcd light as I stated to my costumers. I can only sell 180 kcd light with ugliest green tint world ever seen…
The craziest thing about wrong emitter issue is that I blamed myself, and dedoming methods I use… So I really dedomed about 15 of them with different dedome methods (i dedomed them like a mad man). Each and one of them is perfectly dedomed and each and every one of them looks green with significant less output comparing to real XP G2 S4 2B.
My experiment with this crap emitter also showed that there is no tint shift with gas/thinner/hot method. Remember that guys… NO one can convince me in opposite now.
So far more than 100$ is thrown in a wind…
I will see how Hank will react on this.
