Currently upgrading from dedomed XML2 dropins to XPL hi and was wondering what you guys use for your P60 with XPL hi. Looking to get the best throw using XPL hi. Thanks
From dedomed XM-L2 to XP-L HI is not really a big upgrade other than better tint, I have only built one XP-L HI P60 and it had decent throw with the SMO reflector.
I used a good OP reflector in my XPL HI P60 build, I could not find an SMO that focused like I wanted. The OP with nothing between it and the Noctigon worked like a champ and still throws very well for a 1.4A driver…. I soldered the board into the pill and covered the wires with liquid electrical tape…
Tried several reflectors and all of the smooth reflectors that i have dont focus that i wanted. Used a xpe OP reflector and it have decent focus but still looking for a better throw or tighter beam. Any ideas? Thanks
Where/what have you tried?
I got a P60 from KaiDomain with an XP-L HI in it. Throws quite well, but shows a little yellow in the hotspot. My review on the product page: http://www.kaidomain.com/product/details.S024794
I agree with brted. IOS have really nice P60 Dropins but not with a XPL-HI.
The KD dropin is a very good choice. I reviewed it in the past, see Review: Kaidomain KD XPL HI P60 Dropin, it performs really well.
If you want a beam without the ugly rings, use a smooth reflector and do the mod that pflexpro does to the reflector to get rid of the rings.
Do you have link to his post?
