Newly Enlightened
Can't wait until tonight. I succesfully removed all the dome from those XPG's
Here's the picture of the beam shots!
Picture description. (left std, center XPG mod., right XPG mod. + de-domed):
1a. Standard low, flood setting
1b. Not much lumen difference but, a more uniform beam with less abrupt "halo" and bigger center spot.
1c. Warmer yellowish beam. Very clear cut off. The center spot is smaller than std but the areas is much more uniform in brightness. The rectangular shadow below is completely gone
2a. Standard med, flood & spot setting
2b. At higher current XPG start to show it's performance. Notice how the spot is much brighter and gives wider spot.
2c. Bigger, well defined, and much more uniform spot. Very nice beam
3a. Standard high, spot setting
3b. XPG definitely knock-outs the XPE. Bigger and brighter beam but still too much stray lost. Not good for throwing power
3c. Tighter and brighter spot (it's to tell by the pic but it is brighter in reality).
I really like this mod. since the HL is now friendlier to the eyes and also brighter with very nice uniform beam. I don't know if this would also improve the CRI as well.
