I have been waiting weeks do get all parts, so i can get rid of the blue XR-E in my loved LF3XT.
I replaced the XR-E with a "High Efficiency XP-E", with a P4 flux, 3000k and min CRI of 90! I could have choosen a XP-G Q2 but i rather have more throw than ~7% more flux.
the XP-E has a X shaped phosphor coating, with does look unpleasend with a smooth reflector, so i kept the op stock one.
The tint and colour temperatur are really nice, can wait to try it outside :naughty:
Here are some white wall beamshots together with a Quark Mini CR2 neutral white (tint might be 4b).
lower exposure
All in all there was a lot work involved, i had to reflow the XP-E on a 1cm² square board myself and replaced the lens with a ucl.
The light gets now warm pretty quick, must be the improved thermal path :twothumbs
