Cree have announced some extensions of XHP50D with the same 3v CCT in High Density now available in the Hi Version. They also have released the platform with min 95 CRI models from 4000k down to 2700K
XHP35.2 HI, XHP50.3 HI & XHP70.3 HI will also all have min 95cri models
Cheers
It’s not the 95 CRI yet, but Kaidomain (on Aliexpress LHT Flashlight store) does already sell the 90CRI versions of the XHP 50.3, including the HI, for people that can’t/don’t want to wait.
Looking forward to when the 95 CRI will pop up and for which prices.
I’ve got the normal 3V XHP50.3 in a S2+ - using the 5A stock driver and a narrow (Convoy) TIR. It works really well and adding the TIR seems to have helped lessen the coolness of the beam colour. The TIR gives a slightly brighter hot spot with still useful spill available.
It runs cooler than I expected on the lower three settings. It’s only on the fourth (highest) where the heat build up is noticeable.
