To my eyes, it is the most pleasing white, non tinted emitter I have seen. XPE was previously the best for me. Nichia is not my preference but at least there is no green, and the yellow is not distracting, plus the colors look good. But this XPG2 triple gives fairly vibrant colors, just a little more vivid than reality (and a Nichia). Have an old Cree Q5 (?) in a Olight T15 that used to be my favorite. If you are not terribly fond of warm, and only want one, high level, this dropin (at least the one I got) is a great way to go. Can't say what it looks like above 4.18volts...don't know if that changes the tint. And the perimeter of the spill is not the perfect circle, like quality single emitters display. Goodly amount of flood, but certainly not mule-ish. My old Surefire U2, with the Oveready adapter to accept P60 dropins has a gold, crenelated bezel that reflects a little yellow on the edge of the spill as well. Not your problem, isn't really noticeable but something to consider if you're looking to get shiny gold bezels.
