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

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.

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