I’m sorry. - I may have been understood.
“Factory De-Dome” means that LuckySun would start with a Regular Cree Emitter, and then remove the dome, Exactly as you or I would do.
“Cree XP-L HI” means that the emitter NEVER had a dome to start with, and so the proper amount of phosphors are added to begin with to give the desired tint. - THEN the emitter is Binned for Tint and Flux. - This makes a HUGE Difference, as anyone that has seen a Green Olight “Factory De-Dome” can attest too.
Please see the difference here in the beamshots in post #4. - See that Green? - That’s a Olight Factory De-Dome, Not a XP-L HI “domeless” emitter. - The XP-L HI would be the White one:-)
Again - A Cree XP-L HI is NOT a Factory De-Dome! - It was made without a dome. - It Never had a dome to begin with.
“Factory De-Dome” means that the flashlight company has removed the dome - Not Cree. - Cree is Not in the business of removing their domes.
Sorry - But because of language differences I needed to be clear.
.
Now, having said this, I agree… We need to leave it like it is if it is going to cause trouble.
Of course, a change in offered tint to 3D from 3C would be Very welcome, but let’s just see what comes up.
Very sorry for the misunderstanding,
