Getting rid of donut hole in mag refl w/ XR-E R2

gyani · Aug 29, 2010

I have a mag with the rebel reflector(larger than the regular one) and I was trying to use it in conjunction with a XR-E R2 with the ez900 die. The problem is that there is a donut in the middle of the hot spot, so my question is whether there are any solutions to this?
Thanks

Try to swap the XR with a XP emitter. Alternatively you need to use an OP reflector. The donut hole is caused by the aluminum ring on the XR-E.

Is everyone getting the donut hole with the XR-E, or is it not necessarily something that has to be there?

I have this problem too. I'm waiting on a XP-G to swap into it, as per CampingLED's suggestion.

You should be able to eliminate the "hole" by changing the height of the LED in the reflector.

Would the XR-E perform better in the old mag reflector?

Sounds to me like the emitter is not correctly focused

That is what I would do as well

at what distance does the donut hole appear/dissappear? many LED lights have a donut hole up close but after a distance they vanish
