Fortunately i have a bunch of good cells. A few XTAR 18700 2400 protected - same thing as 18650 protected size wise and some Himax 2600 mAh (formerly known as WOW). Both are pretty decent. Only The XTAR cell have kicked the low voltage protection yet have to see if the himax works.
Waitng for my 4 distrustifre errr... for a refund.
wait? i dont see it on Cutter's website. care to link me?
send me a private cause this thread is too big to follow nemore
This is the page for the T5 and T6 on 14mm stars
I see you guys were discussing about different tints for the T5 and T6. I don't see any greenish tint from my T6. I think it has the perfect tint. Any comparisons of T6 vs. T5?
Once I got mine outside, I noticed a little bit of greenish tint to it. Not enough to really worry about though. The tint seems to be a lottery with any LED. At CPF people are complaining about the greenish tints on their XP-G S2 Quarks. But I remember people making the same complaint about the R5's when those came out. 4Sevens says they can't control it, and if they are buying all the S2's they can get, they wouldn't be able to be choosy.
Cutter is swamped with orders for the T6 ...
They are currently [ yesterday ] clearing all other orders out of the way , so that they can deal with the XM-L T6 orders when the emitters arrive ....
so you think a 1c is a good whitish blue color?
im about to order 3 from cutter on 14mm
A lot of people at CPF were ordering 2T, but I got 2B. If you want cool white, 1C should do it, but it's hard to say since these things tend to trend towards green. The group buy turned out to be 10 each of 1D, 2T, and 2B.
Cree is probably laughing at us because they are all exactly the same . . .
Anyone want me to lock this thread and start another "Part II" thread?
Perhaps
I'd like to see XM-L in pre-built 14500 or 16340 bodies. I suck at soldering.

Looks nice to me! Not pocket friendly but...
XML is priced about the same as the XP-G R5 from cutter ...
KD has already dropped the price of the 5-mode P60 drop-in. Was $20.70, now $18.80, same price as the 1-mode . . .
Moments ago I ordered the KD's XM-L T6 1A, at least they are honest enough to give the asigned track number upfront.
The previously ordered from another vendor is freezed in 'pending' since the order was made.
How good/bad is that tint , 1A ?
It is between 6500 and 7000 K (equal-to and slightly-cooler than the standard daylight temperature D6500). The same as the light at an overcast day at noon. No greenish or purple dominance.
It has a purple green tinge on the edge [ depending on emitter ] One of mine has a purple outer edge , the other a green outer edge , whilst the middle of the beam is white to Neutral ...
Very strange ... But only really noticeable to the camera and white walling ...
Though I did get some warmer [ less cool ] tints from cutter [ Havent used them as yet ]
At this time many of you got their XM-L dropins i believe (except me). So... How did you find your P60 host of choice regarding thermals? Suitable or barely usable? I heard the C8 host revieved here did perform spledidly in all spects.
Solarforce L2m is fine for me. It does heat up the head and the body gets warm which does mean it is getting the heat out of the dropin.
I ordered an L2P for my p60 drop-in (which will be shipped in a couple of days hopefully), along with the KD C8 of course :)
Pity, KD sent an SDHC adaptor instead of a 3A 2x18650 driver. I'll have to postpone my double battery XM-L project. Everything was ready, TR1200 body, MC-E reflector and a T5 star. I almost knew that they wouldn't meet at the same point. :)
