Also - XP-G has a green base and XP-G2 has a silver one.
How hard was that to do and where did you get the LED from? I would consider doing it to mine.Swapped the led in my maratac cu today. Took some quick before and after pictures of the beam.
Camera settings on all shots are: shutter 0,4sek. F6,3. iso200. WB daylight. Distance to wall is 1,5 meters.

Put the same batt in a old lf2xt with a neutral xp-e i think it's q4. The lf2xt got a deeper reflector, you can see the spill is narrower.
Tried to make a gif, but my photoshop skills are too weak Really easy to see the difference between the stock xp-g and the xp-g2 when in a slideshow. So if anyone want to make a gif, feel free to do so Hotspot shrinked a tiny bit, and got brighter. The spill really got brighter. I like it

So who wants to sell 2 or 3 1C's within the US? I can't justify paying more for the shipping than the boards.
DOH!

Im currently looking at getting an eb1 and swapping in an xpg2. The drop in forward voltage should result in slightly better regulation, and I dont think there would be much loss of throw. I love the g2 ive swapped into my ra clicky. Ive swaped back anforth between it and the xpe r2 id had previously several timez and to my eye there is no appreciable difference in throw between the two leds and a much parger kore useful spill and hotspot with the g2. Im very satisfied with this
The xp-g2 die is the same size as the xp-g. The dome is larger, and the apparent size is smaller. That is why the hot spot is smaller and more intense.hi,
i can see that the xp-g2 die is bigger than the xp-g one, so is the dome... so the beam should be less focused if I swap the emitter and keep the same reflector.
