Nice, they state these are 97% throughput but even after adding the lee filter it’s still at 86% so it’s worth it. You won’t get 2200 lumens out of a similar tint XM-L2.
That’s what finally dawned on me, reducing a 1A to a 3C is going to cost lumens output in a similar fashion anyway, and the SST-40 has a higher launch to begin with so it’s still a win.
This is what they call one eighth O.T.C. (Orange Temperature Color) and has an 85.2% transmittance with 7% absorption rate. You can see on the bottom right corner where I wrote down the lumens before and after, seems it was pretty spot on. 
I simply looked at a color wheel and chose the opposite of the daylight white blue-white color I was seeing in the output, which is a light orange. Then went through the Lee filters to find the correct shade of orange and it works great. So far, anyway. I’ve melted more than a few of these pieces of film and this one doesn’t seem to have a fire retardant counterpart.
Very cool, let us know if it melts, but if it doesn’t it’s a good solution for sure. I’ve used a similar film when making lanterns from scratch before. I’ve also used one with diffusion to take the doughnut hole out of the XHP series.
Did the last days a couple of driver designs
Q8 2S/4S Buck driver
6/12V LED 2.5-5A standard parts
6-8A with upgraded parts
Astrolux MF02 same specs as Q8
TN42 driver same specs as Q8 and MF02
Oslon Black flat
DTP friendly P channel MOSFET driver
17mm and bigger
did 17mm Oshpark
and 17-24mm Seeed design
Nice work Lexel :+1: :heart_eyes:
I wasn’t happy with the XHP50 in the MBI HF-R so installed an MT-G2 on a 16mm Noctigon sanded down to 12mm with 1mm copper sheet soldered underneath.
That looks great! The MT-G2 is one of the prettiest leds ever made, and in a build like this that counts more than performance.
Thanks djozz, yeah that’s what I think, I just love the MT-G2 
My favourite pic of MT-G2 in my Small sun ZY-T08 :heart_eyes:
Wow, you keep your domes clean! :+1: 
Cold toluene dedoming of a Luxeon V (15 minutes)
Dedomed Luxeon V on 20mm Noctigon in (un)LuckySun D80 with bypassed springs and BLF-A6 driver (1740 lumen OTF at 30 seconds):
Very unusual beam. But I like it :+1:
DJozz, it seems that there’s some phosphor missing in the corners of the emmitter substrate.
I think you’ll throw tons of UV with this one
The led under the phosfor layer does not emit UV, just blue (peak 450nm), it is the same blue peak present in undamaged leds but perhaps a bit higher here :-).
Blue LEDs show great fluorescence on GITD stuffs
Nice “Spiegelei”-Spot.
Best spiegelei ever!
Lots of light but even in actual use outside the bright yellow hotspot is distracting
Flashlight porn… The MT-G2 is still may favorite LED. Got one in my ZY-T08 too
Nice work with the little light/big LED CRX, love it! I’ve done chopped AA MiniMag’s with the big emitter and 2 14250’s and just loved the look. I think I had 11 or 12 MT-G2 lights at one time, need to revisit that as I have several loose emitters… unfortunately I just shoved the entire modding kit into a box and closeted it away for the Christmas holiday, family coming over and all that. No modding for me for the next week, might not survive…
