This looks interesting… I hope they are not only optimized for optics use.
The new Olight s10R III uses it, efficiency is about the same or maybe a tad higher than the XM-L2 judging by the amp draw but there is massive tint shift betweeen hotspot and spill. (Very cool tint at the edge)
I’d rather see them produce a 6V only version using the same process as the MTG-2 or XPG-3 foregoing the 12V option in favor of a clean beam. I for one appreciate the XM footprint since I mostly work with small to medium size hosts.
Anybody seen these for sale yet? I have a light ready for one of these, just waiting for them to come to market. I want to test it and see how it compares to the old XHP50 and XHP70.
Wow, they are more expensive then I had hoped / figured they would be.
At least they have some good tints, too bad they are not high CRI as well. I have a sale pending, I might grab one after that although not sure I will want to risk it by running a test on it since I have a light I want to use it in.
The thing I’m most interested in is if they put the dies closer together, I’m presuming these are using the same flip chip tech they’ve been using on the XP-G3 and XP-L2 so maybe that makes it easier to position the dies closer and we’ll get better beams.
Indeed, looking at the pictures we have from the XHP50.2 it looks like they did indeed use this new tech.
Hopefully resulting in a more packed die, almost like the XHP35.
Curious about its increase in performance in both the lumen numbers and throw numbers. Also how to beam will look in a light.
I did order a 3A one, if TA is not faster than me (I’m usually not that fast), I will test it to (almost :innocent: ) death.
The 7C that I also ordered will get a nice destination in a flashlight.
