Thanks djozz. Great to see this test. Any plans to do a test VS the 70 CRI 219C?
Nice test djozz as always! It’s quite a disappointment that this LED doesn’t dedome well like it’s predecessor. Maybe soon someone will shed some light on any success they’ve had. Looks like until that time comes, were stuck with the old xp-g2 and xp-l hi’s.
The dome size seems the same, and DBCustom has already used these under a Carclo triple optic: they fit and give a distinctive but nice beam
No plans yet, my guess is that the XP-G3 has a bit better output. My next emitter test will be a red, green and blue Nichia 219B led. I’m really curious how they perform compared to the coloured XP-E2’s.
Thanks Djozz, thats all the evidence needed. I am now going to buy some of those xpeegeefree’s 
Looks like the sweet-spot is about 6-7A - I might need something other than laptop pulls!
My personal sweetspot is 5A for this emitter.
Damned, I have ten of this leds from kiriba sitting in my local post office which is, of course closed for a weekend.
First thing I will do is triple S2+ with BLF A6 A17DD-L FET+1 driver, hope it does not explode in my hand :smiling_imp:
Great stuff! Thanks for testing this and sharing the results with us 
I take it that the off angle tint consistency has improved with the new phosphor technique?
Really nice test, djozz. I look forward to these. Lots of information herein.
Quote from above: “So for now, the ‘king of throw’ is still the ‘old type’ XP-G2 S4 2B, which unfortunately is not available anymore.”
Just FYI in case anyone wants this, V_O_B is selling these ‘king of throw’ on ebay - $7.95 mounted on copper sinkpad.
Thanks for sharing the test results djozz! Curious that the Nichia 219C tested so much lower than the XP-G2. I thought that they supposed to be really close in performance.
A D320 bin 70 CRI 219C would show about 13% better output numbers. Also, take into account the total wattage at a given output; the 219C has a much lower Vf.
Interesting. Where did you get them from?
Thank you djozz for the thorough test .
Lumitronics (leds.de). They are quite new, and there are not many colour leds with the 3535 footprint.
interesting!
Thanks
Thanks for the long awaited review djozz.
Do you think that this emitter should be my choice for running small triple/quad lights on 14500 cells? I’ve mostly even using XP-E2 (because I have 50 of them), but I need a change up.
These things are absolutely amazing when fully dedomed. I put one in a reflector light last night, and the lumens looked almost identical to the XPL next to it, but with a pure white hotspot 2/3 the size. I honestly would not trade the dedomed tint for anything I have seen yet dedomed. But 7-8 amps at max output? Holy…crap. YES! :partying_face:
Nice, have you posted your method for dedoming these?
No… He’s teasing us;) but he’s been graciously giving hints along the way.
Hi djozz
Very useful as always! :student:
Many thanks
