I don’t know if you guys knew but Cree did a change to XP-G2 emitters and their “upgrade” resulted in lux drop (obviously lower surface intensity of emitter) upon emitter de doming.
Thread here Mark is also aware of this thread and he promised to contact Cree and reply but still nothing…
So if G3 is a way to make up for failed XP-G2 “upgrade” they did recently than my thumbs will go up for Cree.
I also think someone needs to review emitter before any group buy or people could be very unhappy with purchase.
