Hey Ty,
Hope things get better and keep getting better. I am mostly a silent observer(?lurker?) here, but I learn a lot from the interaction between people here and I am very appreciative of the knowledge shared.

Re: The 2015 Lounge

TK75VN70 does make a lot of heat, probably the same as a hard driven mtg2. I ran the test sample for around 2 minutes on fresh vtc5s before having to throttle down to the 'high' setting of 4500 lumen

You wont get as long as the x60 for turbo - but it is half the size lol.

The beam quality of the xhp50 is much nicer than the xhp70 in the tk75. theres a good amount of artifacts and a few donut holes as expected with the xhp70 - not noticable outside and really not a concern to me personally - but some might want to know this.

xhp are certainly interesting leds... i am interested to see what the neutrals look like and how those perform as well... my favorite led personally is still mtg2 hands down.

Vinh told me NW XHP70 has about 30% less lumen output, which made me decide not to try them in my MM15.

I've seen numbers that show a single XHP70 doing 6000+ lumens, that's more than any XML2.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll (pronounced [ɬanˌvairpuɬˈɡwɨ̞nɡɨ̞ɬ]) is a large village and community on the island of Anglesey in Wales, situated on the Menai Strait next to the Britannia Bridge and across the strait from Bangor. It is alternatively known as Llanfairpwll, Llanfair PG, or Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
wow, thought you were having us on!

Re: XHP50/70 Stock

notice the trees in the background over the fence to the right...doesn't show on MKR, but does on XHP70...believe me, it's much brighter..

Thanks for the comparison pics. Your right, there is a noticeably difference between the two. I wonder why it's shows up with less kcd and lumens in testing though?

Re: The 2015 Lounge

Looks to me like all the XML2 lights just became outdated..

Not even close - the XHP emitters require two cells or an inefficient boost driver if using a single cell.

Plus the beam from multi-die chips looks bad in smooth reflectors or aspherical lenses.

That said, id still like to have one in a P60 module if it is actually brighter than the MTG2

+1, the xml2 u2/u3 have plenty of life left yet. As said,requires 2 cells for a start (or a boost driver)which rules out any 18650 fed light right now.
