SSC P4 or Cree behind NX05?

[GarageBoy]

So anyone try any of these LEDs with the classic Luxeon NX05 optic? I want to get a sandwich built for my Firefly, but I want to keep the stock look

Yes, I had a badboy 400 sandwich in a minimag that I upgraded from the Luxeon to a P4. The NX05 seemed to work well and still fit the P4.

The P4 works very well with a NX-05 is focused correctly. I upgrade FFs with a P4 by replacing the 2mm thick UCL with a 1mm thick lens which will allow the optic to sit higher from the P4. This will give a beam similar to a SF Luxeon TIR but not as square, large spot with almost no spill.

Thanks. So the beam pattern on the SSC and the Lux III are not exactly the same?

Nope, they are quite different & the focal point of a P4 is lower than a LuxI/III
