Btw, about your LD10 UE version, Direct Drive XPG

- As I recalled our test comparison at GW2U, the voltage on the 14500 was at around 3.9v? And drawing ~700mA..
I am still very surprised with how efficient the heat management on that mod with AW 14500 (talking about this battery only). Even with lower vf than XRE or XPE. Running DD with 14500 on an XRE can get really hot, but not on the XPG it seems. Is it because the XPG tolerances can take up to 1.5A? Or is it really because of the thermal compound mixture used? I think it's both. But what do you think? It looks like the XPGs can really be driven harder with the proper thermal compound and heatsink designed used.
Reminds me that Lightjunk's tripple XPG DD with 18650 with that awesome customed heatsink design is gonna rock the world!

It could be strinq!!
Is it you strinq? I think it is! *poke* Is it??
I'm really surprised at it too! It starts getting warm only at about 5 mins! Incredilble!! XR-E gets hot in seconds!
I'm thinking XP-G is that much more efficient and also produces far less heat (the reason why I'm so impressed with this emmiter).
But it might also be the fact that Fadhil mounted the whole XP-G + board as opposed to XR-E which was mounted direct onto the light.
Proper application of thermal compound of course helps as well.
I think the XP-G can be driven to incredible levels and still be fairly efficient.
My light is drawing close to 800mA on fully charged batt. Should be ~278lm - 300lm @ emitter. ~250 OTF that I measure (not accurate but close).
I'm even amazed at the efficiency of the make-shift optic i used! Haha!
So newspaper, when we gonna see ur ET DD XP-g? =D
****Just noticed, XP-G has cool white, OUTDOOR white, neutral white and warm white! Hahaha!! You know what's sad??
Notes:
• Cree maintains a tolerance of +/- 7% on flux and power measurements.
• Typical CRI for Cool White and Neutral White (3,700 K - 10,000 K CCT) is 75.
• Typical CRI for Outdoor White (4,000 K - 5,300 K CCT) is 70.
• Typical CRI for Warm White (2,600 K - 3,700 K CCT) is 80.
OUTDOOR WHITE HAS PATHETIC CRI!! =O

alantch: Dude, u getting a polarion? Saw it in ur sig.
Anyways, seems like a possible good buy guys.
Flashmax G175 5 x Cree XR-EOnly Rm170...crazy...and including 2 18650s and charger.
There's a local guy selling for RM285
Mudah sellerThis light will be like the crazy CREE thrower that GW2U has. Performs like a crazy light but has quality close to none (like no quality, really). You gotta mod it a lot to get it to work nicely. =D
@Lightjunk - Wow! Love those Leef bodies man. Thought of getting one previously. =D
