Might be the best low cost bet and reflow the leds off.
I intentionally kept amperage low with Wights A17PZL driver. It’s 7135 chip based with a single chip controlling moon. Makes it much more efficient at the bottom end than throttling full power down to sub lows.
I was expecting more lumens as well, I think it’s the short fluted looking reflector. I had to cut it down pretty far to get it to fit in the bezel. So it’s substantially shorter than the stock reflector and isn’t mirror finished nor is it orange peel.
I just tweaked it to get everything mated a little better and swapped out the 20ga leads for 22ga. I also washed the Mirella after all the filing and sanding. It’s showing 3184 now with the batteries not freshly charged. Of course it’s dimming immediately, the small Efest 18350’s CAN make good current but it’s like slicing their little throats! lol They’re only 700mAh cells.
I’ll get some pics of it sitting down in the Mirella, pretty neat, definitely different. Weather is clearing up so hopefully I can get some beam shots tonight.
Makes me wonder why there isn’t an equivalent reseller like Cutter based in the US or even here is Europe. Seems LED-tech.de is one of the few I’ve come across over here and they’re not exactly on the cutting edge of new tech at the moment…gen1 XM-Ls on copper are still the cutting edge right? 
But surely if Australia can support a specialist electronics and lighting tech reseller like cutter then… where’s RMM when you guys need him!

Now that you point it out, that is odd. Australia supports a lot of things one might be surprised at considering the population, but Cutter definitely sticks out when you put it like that.
Good Day LinusHofmann, and Wight, 
You are missing the real reason.
All Aussie newborn are issued with a LED flashlight (we call it a torch) at birth, this is issued by the Aussie government, and it is branded with their name, DOB, & birth hospital's name.
Then every birthday these torches are updated to the latest LED technology.
And Cutter has the supply contract for the next 50 years.
Btw, this has enabled the Aussie population to greatly cut its carbon footprint, thanks to incandescent bulbs now being a banned possession...
Happy New Year!
Best Regards,
George
PS:
My torch has been updated 99 times already, & I have been informed that my 100th birthday upgrade will use 4 of Cree XHP70 LEDs. 
You expect us to believe this?
They implemented that in 1992. Ask any of the Aussie’s on here.
So they issue LED flashlights to each newborn and the government sends a new flashlight with the latest LEDs every year. They thought of this long before LED flashlights became commonplace and a baby has no use for a flashlight and even anticipated new generation of light bulbs coming out back when incandescent barely changed in a century…
In addition we have a 99 year old member who keeps up with every new flashlight development and is reminded yearly of the hospital he was born in, and expects a 4 LED flashlight from a government who constantly keeps track of any time he has moved in the last century and is willing to pay increasingly expensive prices to send flashlights to all its citizens on an annual basis

Someone has too many lumens rattling around inside their heads
On the plus side one country has actually implemented a good idea
Keen George is Irish.
Any relation to curious george?
Right, except that these are upgrades, not replacements. That’s an important differentiation.
Thanks for the link Bort. That’s really impressive.
I read that a few months ago (i couldn’t remember what country but google knows all), its a really good idea
I measured the X6 XHP70 on the lightbox at 3298 lumens before taking the picture.
I measured the X6 XP-L V5 2D on the lightbox at 3340 lumens before taking the picture.
Which is which?
The top one is the triple
More important, how much power did each take?
The XHP70 is on top in the shortened Ledil Mirella reflector pulling 5.43A for it’s 3298 lumens.
The XP-L V5 2D Triple with Ledil CUTE-3 is the second one, pulling 11.37A for it’s 3340 lumens.
If the XHP70 is double the voltage then the XHP is about equal efficiency?
Once the respective Vf is figured in…. that’s (maybe) around 36W for the XHP70 and maybe around 38W for the triple XP-L.
The XHP70 measured 6.1Vf at 5.02A before. So it should be ~6.5Vf at 5.43A.
Estimating the XP-L to be around 3.6Vf at 3.9A x 3 in the triple.
Wouldn’t that be closer to 35W vs 42W? At any rate, the XHP70 looks to be more efficient. Push it to 12A and it is impressive!
