Hmm, really? XM-L2 neutral white?
Hi Mr. Admin,
Must be so, it shows in their website
Yup, probably T6 3C. Probably what I will put in mine, or a little warmer.
Ok, so there is a T6 3C bin now in XM-L2? Because a few months ago everyone was offering either an XM-L2 cool white or an optional XM-L(original) neutral. Sorry I’m a bit ignorant about the different bin options.
More so with me!
I believe correct me if iam wrong relic isn't tbere also a XML2-501B a border line cool /warm also? Along with the warmer a T6-3C?
There are several tints available now from a few vendors. 1A, 1C, 3C, 5B2, 5C1, 5D1, etc. they keep getting warmer and higher CRI as you go. I figure the SWM have chosen a T6 3C to keep the lumens up a bit. Not that a T5 5C1 is a slouch or anything.
Racer86’s thread on emitters has a tint graph that shows the various ones available so far.
That’s a great price on the D40a
The thing I like about the D40a most is that it has short cuts in ALL the Right places.
The dual switch rocks too
What was the price at FT before it went up?
$56 if my memory serves me correctly , missed it by a few days.
$49 to be precise
Thats a wonderful deal. I need one…
Thanks for sharing…
I think it's close 2 months since XM-L2 T6 3C is being sold (at least for IS), but since it's not on DX or FT gets buries or not talked about.
Because of the glorious warmth of my FF4 HID’s beam (totally unexpected, I even sold my M170 because it was an NW), I’m a new convert to a NW tint. Coming in from a cool bright white mentality, initially I thought, ‘What are these guys raving about an NW, it’s not bright’…but not anymore. You guys have been part of my learning process.
NW hasnt sold me yet... or bought me yet..
Had 2 NW lights, and sold both... didnt like the tint... :)

Some day, some day…hehehe 
never say never.
Correct!
In my experience, comparing both tints indoors in a whitewall beamshot, the CW is the hands-down winner. Bring it outside and point it to natural landscapes, the NW
easily wins.
So, so tempting now (there is a NW option)!! :bigsmile:
