LED for Apex

[losthope]

Hi all, my apologies if this is in the wrong place

I had an apex a while ago which I upgraded with a seoul P4. The casing had some cracks and was replaced by Princeton Tec.

What is the best available option to upgrade the replacement with ?

What would happen if I stuck in a cree xpg R5 ?

thanks

One of the main reasons that everyone went with the P4 is the fact that it is such an easy direct-fit drop-in. The Cree would require more work to fit it in there and have the optic or reflector work correctly for the emitter.

Does your replacement have a Luxeon III, or is it the newer version Apex (that comes with a Seoul LED)? If it has a Luxeon III, I would (personally) go for one of the Seoul U3SVNH emitters that PhotonFanatic is selling in the marketplace.

I think it may be the newer version with a seoul led.

I thought with the heat sinking the apex has it should be able to rival the HP10.

What kind of output is the new P4 giving in the apex?



thanks

What kind of output is the new P4 giving in the apex?

The current Apex is rated at 130 lumens.
