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:
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.
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:
Have you taken any lux measurements? As we have seen with the 219C, just because it is dedomed does not mean that the process will double the luminance like with the XP-G2.
So, de-domed properly, these should out-throw the old style XP-G2 S4 2B. Is that what you guys are saying? I’ve got a couple of the XP-G3 from the VOB group buy from Cutter. I would really like to know how to de-dome one of these. I’ve never had a XP-G2 S4 2B light. I’d really like to see what it’s like. :innocent:
