Thanks Simon. I think I’ll wait for the new upgraded version of M3.
btw, what is the name of this new M3? Is it M3A? or M3C-U ?

Beside that, I’m still waiting for my SST40 S2+ , I’ll be checking it first and see how much I’ll like the 5000K SST40.
I wonder if the L21A CULPM1 beam is going to be too narrow with its 64 mm diameter head. Maybe a SBT 90.2 will fit better in that flashlight giving a wider beam? Looks like the 44 mm head of M21 is a limit, or the M3 48 mm. I don’t need more than 1km throw anyway.
It is not a single CCT but a range. Someone already posted the chromacity bin that Simon sell is ebxD46. You can go to the datasheet and find the CCT and DUV range of this bin by plugging the coordinates into this website. Osram does not specify a specific CCT.
Not appreciably. The main advantage (still theoretical right now as it hasn’t been tested AFIK) is a higher peak current before its thermally bottlenecked. In other words, other than binning differences, CULPM1 will be about the same as CSLPM1 until current exceeds ~5-6A. And in a flashlight with other thermal limitations, maybe less of a difference will be seen. TBD with time
