CREE MC-E vs SSC p7

Re: CREE MCE vs SSC p7

I wonder if the dies are closer together, because if the viewing angle is 110* it would make a monster throw light with an aspheric.

It would still have a 4 square beam pattern with each square being around the same throw as 1 XR-E LED. Unless the dies are touching then there should not be any gap between the dies in the beampattern with the aspheric, but that it would be easier to cut out dies that are 4x the area.

SSC P7 uses dies made by Cree so the die size will be same.

True. But remember that its not just the die size that matters as much as apparent die size due to the magnification of the dome over the die. The P7's dome does not magnify the die as much as the XR-E for example. Will be interesting to see how the MC-E compares.
