I’m going to start offering the EDC-XML-R with the new Cree XM-L2 LED. The boost in brightness should bring the output up from 930 to 1000 lumens. approximate.
6000k cool white. Same flashlight, has multi level brightness, user can specify what modes (when placing order). Never a problem with overheating with this flashlight. Power level on high, regulated at 2800ma. (see specs on the web page for this flashlight.)
No thermal shutdown, to answer the question directly. This flashlight can get warm but I’ve never seen (felt, actually) it get hot. It does have low power setting, when the power level gets too low it goes into low mode, and blinks once a second. At least it doesn’t turn off completely and leave you in the dark.
The only thing changing is that I’ll be using the new XM-L2 LED which is brighter.
This flashlight is CNC machined, sand blasted and HAIII hard anodized, the same anodizing as Big Bruiser, ST90, Blaster-SST90, etc.
If so, it should be possible to bump up the current a little more by adding a couple more 7135s, have you considered offering that option with the good heatsinking the host offers?
