Hi,
I guess everybody else has success stories with the 219, except me :(…
The story of my adventures with the 219 is here:
but, basically, I had killed one of my drop-ins, and had just gotten a Nichia in, which unfortunately was mounted on a 10mm PCB, so I decided for my 1st try ever at modding, to replace the dead XM-L emitter with that Nichia 219, but ended in a semi-big-fail :)…
No problem, lesson(s) learned :)!
