some crude measurements of the MT-G2 on a Noctigon board

Yea but its to yellowish to my liking :frowning:

Have you seen it real life and not on pictures?
On pictures the white balance on the camera can change any tint to whatever you want it to be. Pictures are rarely an accurate presentation of real life tint.

It's 5000K so it's NW, many like it, if you really like NW than it's like other NWs or better. Maybe you want a "pure white" tint which would rather be considered CW.

I’m sorry, i saw few videos, and it might be that they where using like <5000K versions, it was alot yellowish then the other leds in the video.

5000K is good, or maybe in the video it was just the camera oversaturation.

Any recommendations on MT-G2 replacements? I can see that the LED is falling behind in output and efficiency, but do newer leds like XHP70.2 emit an equally nice beam?

There is for sure considering the amount of options available. I haven’t found one though, for me the MT-G2 is proving to be tough to replace in terms of beam quality.

Mike C, you hit the nail on the head. There are many leds that could maybe be used, but the quality of the light that this one makes in the right reflector is not something that will be easy to replace. The latest generaton of the MT-G2 80 CRI 4000k looks very good when running.

Thanks for the feedback. Where can I buy this 4000k 80cri with good tint?

Not sure right now… I bought mine, I think, from KaiDomain or Mountain a good while back. They are worth tracking down, if you like the MT-G2.
