Has anyone else gotten really high throw numbers from the XPL HI V2 1A? This emitter was one of the first ones I got from mtnelectronics when I started modding. Here I was measuring the throw in a UF 1504 and got 432Kcd. Today I was playing around with the 1504 and put a dedomed XPL V6 1A. Using a fully charged 30Q and measuring the throw at around 20s, I got 369Kcd with the XPL V6 and 383Kcd with the XPL HI V2. My dedomed XPL V6 measurement is consistent with the measurement here.
So do other XPL HI V2 1As perform really well or is mine an exception? I haven’t used this emitter much because it’s a bit too blue for my liking, but I did measure the same emitter in a S2 with smooth reflector at 27.5Kcd at 30s, which is pretty high I think. Mitko measured an XPL HI V2 1A in the BLF style budget thrower at 170Kcd, which is not high; in the same reflector I measured a dedomed XPL V6 1A at 243Kcd.
