Found some different degree glass TIR optics for the xml2, I use the plastic ones but got the labels mixed up but back to the subject which angle works best for a tight hot spot? Also best place to purchase scratch free unmarked the ones without the stupid indents for holder? I have two from Ft that do not have the indents plastic, I have 3 from LED supply and they have four indents which mess with the beam profile.
Try leddna.com.
They have lots to choose from.
I am pretty sure it's 30 or 60°s that I want
Try this one from LEDDNA. However to get it to fit, you’ll either have to trim the white plastic holder a bit, or use it without the holder. I like it much more than the one you got from FT. The one for FT has a square shaped spill. It produced a nice defined hot spot and has a wide spill.
Where did you find glass ones?
ordered it for .40 free shipping.
whats nice about the one i am using now in the Convoy S2+ is that it has little legs a holder is not needed. If all else fails ill just buy the glass ones i seen at one of these Chinese websites. I want glass because the XML2 gets HOT real HOT.
Could you provide a link to the glass ones? I have been using the LEDDNA ones in lights up to 4 amps with no melting so far.
They have them over at cgn quility goods, I think that's the website? The one with all the flashlight stuff
Damn this 25° TIR works great with a xpg2 90+ CRI! Look at this super tight beam from a convoy s3 gold (which I gutted the mtg2 from after frying it with 8.4v) super throw!
That’s awesome, good job! Did you use it without the holder? Did you have any problems centering the TIR? Did you also try the 10°?
I ordered several degrees but this one I ordered by it self. The holder didnt work didn't need to center it if I set the host on a flat surface and roll the host the beam is oval but you don't notice it unless you plan on spinning the host lol
The oval hotspot is kind of cool. Thanks for reporting your findings.
Na man, the hot spot is not oval it's the way the optic sits.
Oh, lol.
Oh btw this optic doesn't look very good on my xml2, however it as you can see works great with the xpg2. The main issue is that the bottom of the optic, has no feet and is flat which doesn't seat well where as the xpg2 die is small enough that the whole die goes inside the optic. If the holder were to fit in my host then it would work great with the xml2.
