I made this thread because as peter yetman put it, "Hogo"s thread, Hogo's rules.
If you don't like it start your own thread."
This is the thread: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?444707-HDS-EDC-Executive-Pass-Around
The purpose is to allow discussion about any aspect of the light from that thread or perhaps even about similar lights which are deletable offenses on the original thread. For instance, the emitter you might prefer the light to use. Personally, I like the idea of good CRI and a neutral-warm floody beam in a somewhat lower brightness light like this one. So I'd try a 219c 4000k r9050 probably, unless I wanted to do some more work and use a e21a setup maybe, since that can do r9080 and I'm told it looks pretty good.
This is a picture of what was used, however.
The one on the right, I'm sold, looks like a zebralight sc53 of some description. The left one is the one in question, and has an xpg, oddly. Cool white, too, I believe.
if we're not going to discuss the light it emits, what are we here for? Just convincing ourselves that it doesn't matter what kind of led or how bright it is? I could sort of understand if the reason the emitter doesn't matter is that it will be changed later, of course. But I think it's very much an important part of every light what kind of emitter is used- or, more specifically, the properties of that emitter. It's the most integral part of the light: the way to turn electrical energy into light.
