The highs were pretty stable so probably could of just left it in and used with head tightened but I just went back to standard ring

Will you be providing tracking information? Thanks.
I can on an individual basis. My tracking was taking pictures of all of the labels after they have been attached to the boxes so if you want tracking, email me at my user name on this post @gmail
Well I'm sorry to say I'm not going to be using my hi/lo ring with these.they are to erratic. Hi/lo rings seemed to work just fine with my standard m361 but not these bad boys. The highs were pretty stable but the lows would often not change or start high and get lower. Really no big deal. I still have 3 solid levels of light now and the spacing looks great to me. Really zero complaints on them! But if you do get it to work the low is VERY low. Think hds on lowest setting.
So I would say that my 219C 3000k in tint and color is right in between my m61N and M61W. I'm really liking it.
What about SM303-D200-L1-R9050? 219C with 92 CRI at 3000k. Avail here: https://www.virence.com/product-page/nichia-nvsl219ct-nvsw219ct
A pair of 3000 219c arrived.
Yay!!
The box in sunlight
Lit by the 219c
The old 6P has a new light source.
(Was using an NLL)
Wild guess on the numbers here:
Low, about 10-20 lumens?
Med, about 125 to 175 lumens?
Hi, about 350 or so?
Wild guesses here folks.
Starts on low.
Has some pulses on low and medium, but anybody familiar with the 361 should know that.
Anyway, these babies are suh-WEEEEEET!

This is interesting to me...the three Malkoff dropins I use:
1. M61W - XP-G2 3K
2. M31W - XP-G2 3K
3. M361 - N219C 3K
All three, while theoretically 3K in temp, are completely different in their kelvin output. The M31W is the closest to 3k and my M61W is probably a short breath away from 4K. This new dropin is visually right in the middle of the other two. I have to conclude that trying to get a real visual 3K dropin must be the hardest thing in the world. First world problem for sure, but why does it seem so hard to get an emitter whose output is what it is advertised?
This dropin is nice for sure, and pleasing on the eyes, but I find it annoying that I have to spend ~$300 on an HDS to get an emitter output that is what is claimed...
If you send Gene $300 I bet you get a 3000K dropin.
It's all about LED binning. Think of some guy sitting there turning each LED on and dropping them into buckets. If he's only got 3 buckets (warm, neutral, cool) there's going to be some variation within each bucket as he goes through the LED's. If he had 20 buckets spanning 3000K-5000K, you'd have a much better chance of getting "exactly" the color temp you were after. Nobody wants to pay for that though so we get generalized groups.
$300 on an HDS? Why?
$17 got me a nice tint in a Maglite Solitaire Spectrum Series in warm flavor.
$80 got me a sweet module for my E by Tana.
$80+/- got me a sweet module from Malkoff.
$177 total and 3 nice lights.
