I didn't know until now. I put these up when I get the info. I don't withhold
any information guys. No conspiracy here.
From what I understand they have a new finishing process now, the naturals
are going to look and perform better. I handled a sample piece
when I was there and was very impressed.

I really doubt you'll see a Seoul P4 in a factory built Fenix unless Seoul improves their product.
The P4 may be easier to design reflectors for, but the Cree XR-E is a better LED. The XR-E has better phosphor, a better thermal path and better life.
Yep, the P4 needs lots of improvement, it's more of a temporary part.
The thermal ratings for the P4 is inferior to the XR-E. Besides, the
P4 uses the Cree die. Who would know better to use their parts than
Cree themselves. I've also heard that the Rebel will use different dies
under the same name - the higher lm/w parts may have Cree dies in them.
Either way I'm not holding my breath.
It's one thing to talk about vaporware or "hope"-ware or "dream"-ware,
it's another thing to offer engineered, full production products. I was
priviledged to a factory tour where they explained every step in detail
which took over an hour. I also checked out their R&D department.
Very interesting to say the least!
