Just swapped out XR-E with Nichia 219b in an old light.

The light flickers erratically and not sure why. Is it a VF issue?

Also, would anyone know if XR-E reflectors would work well with XP-G2/XP-L?

Don't know much about electronics but trying to figure things out by doing :)

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

First thing I would do is check your solder joints. Next is to check to see if the LED is shorting on anything. As for reflectors, they could work, but likely you are looking at manually adjusting and/or fabricating gaskets to get it to the right spot.

Thanks for your input. I tried wriggling the wires while the light is on but the flickering doesn't correspond to moving the wire.

I'm going to put back the old emitter and see if the flickering continues.

Wish me luck! :)
