Today I swapped the awful and greenish factory Cree XP-L HD V6 6500K of a Nitecore MT21C for a Nichia 519A 4500K (MCPCB swap). I may try to install a floodier TIR optic. Click the fedi logo for more!

@flashlight The Nichia heats up faster than the Cree. (IR video on fedi link)
That is a much more pleasing tint!
@infinipurple Indeed!
@flashlight Beamshots (on fedi link), still locked settings and 5600K.
Wow, that's a big difference!
What is the process like?

Then, since I purchased the LED already soldered on a MCPCB, I desoldered the stock one, ground a bit the new one to fit, soldered the wires back on the new MCPCB and voilà. Changed the thermal paste too.
