REVIEW: Cree XP-G R4 Maglite

allburger · Oct 9, 2009

Alright here is the new one that I just built tonight. I am very impressed with the output of this. This has some big throw.

Maglite 2D
H22A Heatsink (ground down lips)
Cree XP-G R4 15mm board
Boost Circuit (runs on 2 D Alkalines)

Lets get to some pictures so you can see for yourself.

Super Bright Hot Spot Tightest Focus. (20 feet roughly)

Interestingly enough. You can defocus this quite a bit without a donut hole. Nice even beam.

How about some outdoor beamshots? How does it compare with a seoul P4?

gunga · Oct 10, 2009

What boost circuit are you using?

+

Well done; the focusing aspect is great, another big run on Mags coming up??

The XP-G acts like an SSC emitter with its floodyness,....not a bad thing.
So it would seem, any setup that got any throw from an SSC should work for the XP-G.

The bigger reflectors, with the flat bottom section, looks like the way..

Excellent build! I'm assuming you sweat the emitter to the base, Nailbender was selling just bare emitters correct? Very sweet beam, can't wait for some outdoor beam shots.

Nice work allburger:twothumbs

I guess your boost circuit is 1amp output?
Show us some comparison pics with other lights if you can. Especially against XRE Q5 and XRE Q5 R2.

thanks

I will do some comparative beamshots. I can tell you that this has a higher lux rating than q5/r2 p60's, my p7 mag, and you could still see the beam well in the midst of a SF M6 with lumens factory 700 lumens 3x17670 setup.

I used thermal adhesive.

lmfao,

very poor excuse for a flashaholic.

half the threads on this forum are about a light being no good unless it will save your life,

and you wont even go out in the rain?

We all know how dim our LED lights look in the rain. everything is wet and the light is absorbed too much. Plus i do not have a nice camera with extended exposure. Just a point and shoot digital.
