I've been looking at the Eagletac MX25L3 MT-G2 version. It has a 5000K LED and thinking that I might prefer something a bit more neutral I started looking into replacement options.
On Cutter's website I found a slew of possible options. https://www.cutter.com.au/products.php?cat=Cree+MTG-2 I see that there are 6, 9 and 36 volt versions of the LED (I would assume that the Eagletac uses either the 6 or 9 - but would need to measure that).
The part that confuses me are the 2-step and 4-step MacAdams ratings on the LEDs.
From this article http://assets.sylvania.com/assets/documents/faq0026-0999.f4172b60-cde8-4cb2-8a0a-37d3490d9e49.pdf I can deduce it has something to with color output variance over standard deviations - but I am not sure what those deviations mean. Is a lower 2-step number better than a 4-step number?
Any information would be great. These LEDs are $20 each so ordering the wrong one has a bit more impact than ordering the wrong XP-G2.
