The new LED XHP50.2

Ouch. Haven’t seen the green epidemic since late XPG to early XPG2 I think.

Taobao is not an option - can't understand Chinese, and even if there was a way to communicate, dunno cost w/shipping, etc. Just been working on a couple Y3's - forgot how bad quality is, how many changes they went through from batch to batch -- lots of lots of issues, plus no support from Yezl, worse was the no support from GearBest who was the last one selling them.

These N-LIGHT's though look better from what parts they show like the threads, but there's important stuff not shown, like the MCPCB shelf - all had some sort of concave shape, some worse than others - horrible contact with the MCPCB, though the shelf itself was super thick. Also I see the N-LIGHTs have that huge over sized centering piece. It has to go - when replaced, lumens bumps significantly, but because it's so thick, you have to add a copper shim under the MCPCB, further complicating things.

Really wonder bout these N-LIGHT's though. Would love to see one and see if it's a truly better quality Y3 equivalent.

Hi,

i can confirm this. No donut hole at all.

Nice Spot but with yellow corona similar to the XP-G3.

But it seems i burned two emitters with fully charged 26350s. I will reflow the LED again, perhaps it was only bad soldered.

Hi there,
can anyone tell me where is + and - if I want to reflow to a new board?!

Anyone knows a good source of a neutral white XHP50 or 50.2 that has a tint on the rosy side?
like the BLF Q8 or BLF348 tints
