A Perfect Dedome?

Someone here has measured color temp before & after -

XML and XML2 de-dome color temperature changes

I de-domed an XML2 T6 3C LED. The original color temp was 4820K, a rather nice neutral white. The de-domed color temp is 3068K… standard halogen bulb warm white. Light output went from 865 lumens to 700 lumens. I think I’ll mount it in a Defiant 3C… I used Coleman fuel to de-dome the LED. I removed the dome became it became damaged with the LED/heatsink toppled over face down onto a table when it was running at 3 amps. Burned a hole in the table and buggered the dome. Edit: changed the thread …

Dedoming shifts XML color temps down by a factor of 0.65 to 0.75
