TK61 for a host is awesome, but spendy. Is there a more budget friendly clone or host that can easily take this reflector?

You can’t go by that pic, as it’s a macro from close range and doesn’t show the focal point. If I pull back from the light the reflector fills with the phosphor color at the appropriate distance.

Remember how a donut hole appears if the light is too close to a wall, but the hot spot is focused at a certain distance? That’s what you’re seeing in that pic. The light has to be collimated towards a distance in space to get the beam out there where we want it. Gathering light from a small point in a large reflector means it takes some space to get the beam to come together in focus.

With a thrower, this can be seen as a dark “^” in the beam, with the point out there where it all meets.

I was going to put one of these in my Courui with an MT-G2, but the Courui’s reflector focuses that emitter into a tighter beam so I left it alone. (held the Lum 5-90 on an MT-G2 for testing)

The diamond profile mixes the light from the emitter, perfect for the XHP70. It blends away the small artifacts in the MT-G2 as well, but with a larger softer hot spot than what the smooth reflector does in the Courui.

Dale, have you tried the XHP70 in the Courui Big Head?

The multi-die issue in that big reflector would be problematic, I think the Lum 5-90 could be fitted into the D01 but then the battery layout would also have to be addressed.

I put an SBT-70 in one though. So I have a de-domed XM-L2 in one and the round die in the other. Hand polished reflector in the SBT-70 variant, as the silvery coating peeled off the aluminum when I was washing it after cutting the bottom out for the big die. Literally big chunks of both the brass sub coating and the mirror finish coating peeled off.
Water got under it, which means it wasn’t adhered well to the metal.

Thinking about the Lum 5-90 for that one. Sitting on it, trying to get a powerhouse light built for a buddy and it’s giving me fits. lol

4 the record, 3 XHP-70’s in parallel 12V configuration don’t play nicely with 3 26650 Efest Purple cells. Not enough overhead.

Did you sell that last one of these reflectors?
