Want to see tint / lumen difference between the xpg2 and xpg3 before ordering
Ordered before the price goes up. Now the long wait begins.
Is the Efest 18350 Purple a good battery for this? 10.5 amp discharge.
Yes, it is.
But this one gives the light even higher output (measured):
Here is a cell comparison:
Nice one thanks, ordered the enerpower bad bay. Going to be a long wait now for the light arriving.
Ordered standard SS Nichia + Tube $45
Thanks !!!
Freeme did it!
(Well to be honest $70 is a tad … high but we know vendors like to show “from $XX, now only $YY!”
It seems a lot of people think $YY is a better price then.
Too bad the “from” price is not $76. Then I could tell my wife it was free. “honey I got this for free, I used the 50% discount amount to pay for it” lol
Though not cheap I find this cool enough to have ordered one with tube, thanks.
Pre-Order placed for a Nichia S41s colored and colored 18650 tube.
I used their anniversary code 10annv11 and got an additional $0.99 off. Paid for my shipping insurance.
$51.03 USD
Someone should try 10annv99 and see if they get 99% off…. - tried, didn’t work. Also won’t give the $0.99 off for me anymore.
Ordered too… with 18650 tube. Comes to like $68 CAD with the 12% discount code 10annv12%.
I’m in trouble.
Ha!
Ordered standard SS Nichia + Tube
Thanks !!!
Preordered the plain SS nichias + tube.
Ta freeme!
Ordered!!! Woohoo
I asked the same thing earlier but no one responded. Is the XP-G3 6500K? Won’t that be a really WARM WHITE tint?
That’s cool white. 3-3500K is warm white.
Hi,
Ok, thanks. Are both the XP-G2 AND the XP-G3 cool white? Also, how “purplish” would those be?
Xpg3 is a newer iteration of LED, newer than xpg2. They are both available in warm, neutral or cool. 6500K is a colour temperature so I guess you could say it’s more purple then warm or neutral white.
You can’t really guess tint without a tint bin code (eg. 1A, 3B etc).
Why aren’t they telling us the tints for the emitters? Are we all just hoping that there’s no green tint? Or are you all planning to mod yours straight away?
I read that the green is caused by the AR lens. Sheeeessh…dunno
Both of 219B and XP-G3 have very similar tint at first glance, that was why I needed time to verify if they were indeed different emitters under the hoods.
I have to redo everything I shot yesterday because I shot them with grey background with did not turn out when warmer dim light setup. I have hard time looking for pure white wall, and I ended up using a large piece of acrylic sheet (reflective) for this purpose. As usual, this may not be 100% representative in their beam tint due to poor dynamic range in digital camera, post processing in JPEG and they are not accurately color corrected. I could only ensure they were shot in same environment and exactly same camera settings.
I will work on another group with them projecting against my color cards now.
Nichia looks brighter all round than XPG3, anyone else see that? Or just me?
They both seem to have that nice rosy tint
