The odds these aren’t 7000K or green as grass is slim to none.

What clips be those?

Got some nice lights there.

Nice job! I used GITD tape to do this on my green D4K, white tape with blue glow, and it brought Duv down .0010. I’ll have to snag some aluminum tape for some other lights!

Nice! Is this your first time modding a Zebra? What did you use to pry the bezel and what did you use to swap the emitter? Did you try to pack the potting stuff back in place afterwards?

Djozz tested some that Simon sent him on BLF and they permanently failed above 3A. Mcbob said the same thing in the comments in regards to his own testing and said he doesn’t think they should be driven above 2.5A.

Above 2.5A CRI drops under 90, Duv and CCT go way up.

I worry about the huge flux range. Most emitter bins are like ±4-5% flux. 719A bins are ±10% flux. So theoretically you could be looking at close to 20% swings in lumens and throw from emitter to emitter. And you can’t drive them past 2.5A so you can’t drop one into a D1/KR1 or any lights really since most 6V drivers are 4A+.

Hopefully they are more throwy than an XPLHI or XHP35 otherwise idk.

I was both surprised and disappointed I didn’t get more throw out of the W1s than the XP-Ps. Especially considering the CRI and CCT difference. The 3000K XP-Ps are the 2nd lowest flux bin Cree sells and they throw just as far as the W1s. And they actually throw farther on lower settings for example on step 65 the 3000K measure higher candela. On turbo they are about equal. The 4000K out-throw both at every level but not by much, not anything noticeable to the eye.

The whole idea of putting them in there was that I thought they would outthrow a similar 70CRI 6000K XP-P and since I have a bunch of W1s that would save me from placing another order.

As far as the FWAA goes it’s limited by the battery size. 14500 max rated are 10A if you buy the Vapcell H10. Factor in some resistance and such and you probably get about 7-9A of actual output, somewhere in there. XP-P can only be driven to 3A safely. So in an FWAA they are nearly maxed out in terms of output. A W1 can be driven to 5-6A safely and at those outputs would definitely out throw an XP-P. So all in all it seems the XP-P has a little bit higher candela/watt or something like that than the W1.

Now I want to try one of the higher Flux bin XP-P.
