It is up to individuals. I personally will not EDC one because I prefer to go light and I usually do not need >1k lumens (I live in bright city).

BG is fast.
Astrolux S41S Colored with 4*Nichia219B
Presumably, the colored ring is caused by the bezel.

Does the bezel artifact vanish at a longer distance?

I thought the color would be different for the 219, almost looks cooler than the other two?

I don't feel that those beamshots do justice for S41S
Triple XP-G2 S2 with Carclo 10507 optics (LEFT) - S41S Quad 219B (RIGHT) / ~5cm from wall.
There is clearly more artifacts with Carclo setup with naked eye than S41S.
Triple XP-G2 S2 with Carclo 10507 optics (LEFT) - S41S Quad 219B (RIGHT) / ~12cm from wall.

sometime using wrong white balance on camera can effect the outcome and those phone camera /auto modes are hopeless
So far i got 2 nichia stainless steel already and waiting for 2 more XPG 3 colour version coming

Wasnโt there beamshots of the XP-G3 earlier and they were more/closer to NW? I hope the one I get is not as purple as the shots just above this :(!
EDIT: Actually, the beamshot I mentioned, comparing the emitters, is in the OP.

I got my s41s with xpg3 and itโs got a purple ring around it at low levels. And it gets purple center on higher levels which are visible even at distances. Why is that?
My s41 which is a xpg2 is more towards neutral white and much better colour. Also a lot brighter.
It also over heats sooo much. Only 20 seconds and I had to let go of it because it was so hor. Something is wrong. While the s41 wasnโt even warm at turbo.
Also when I try the 0.5 seconds to go a level back it simply goes to low. So whatever level Iโm at and I hold for 0.5 it goes to low.
At second level. S41s on left s41 on right.
At turbo s41s on right s41 left.
After having a look. It seems two of the leds are much less bright than the other two. Itโs not an angle thing. They also have a purple tint.
Something looks wrong in there. But I canโt seem to open it up to check.

This is no good. Is that a colored or SS version for XP-G3 S41S? I wonder if he blue hue was due to the bezel or optics.

Thatโs what I was wondering also (where the purple is from and why the brightness diffs).
Of the ones who got theirs already, are they really glued? Anyone tried to disassemble theirs?

Ouch, there is clearly something wrong with the emitter and optics. You probably want to pop it out to check.
