xml2 announced!!!!

???

1200 lumens at 3A sounds like a lot to me!

and if you prefer, run at ~20% lower amperage and get longer runtime instead…

I have been waiting for these to come out!!!

Cool, now I’m glad I haven’t bought any new xml lights lately.

Can’t wait to see Match bench test these to 5A J)

There, fixed that for ya! :)

Hahah fair enough.

Wow, 2.85v forward voltage at 700mA. That’s pretty great!


YAY… Great news!

Great link, thanks.

Please have a look at their data on over-driving LEDs:

Always good to see improved LEDs appearing.

Nice! But a little bummed about all the current lights that I just paid for - some of which are still in the mail on the way to me - now being just a little bit outdated!

That settles it… I’m not going to buy a 3-D TV yet, I’m waiting for 4-D to come out! :wink: —KarRacer31

116 lumens-per-watt efficacy at 3 A, 25°C.

You gotta like that!

i read (very) quickly - and gathered 1. yay for overdriving (they’ll continue to come out with new LEDs faster than I’ll wear them out) 2. no pwm (ie constant current) is more efficient

I bought the first 4-D TV and traveled back in time to make this post

Yeah, but if it’s like mine, it gets nothing but reruns… :frowning: .

That’s great news.

How long do you guys think it would take for the XM-L2 to be found in budget lights? Or even in fasttech.com?

Cheers!

We will see them in lights in approximately 1 to 52 weeks. The XP-E2 and XP-G2 haven’t been adopted that quickly, so it could potentially be a while. I don’t know if that is a supply thing or what. With so many XM-L lights out there, I would think there would be a real drive to adopt the XM-L2 quickly whereas the XP-E and XP-G aren’t used as widely anymore. The Cree datasheet lists all kinds of tints and brightnesses, but I can’t imagine all of those will be available that quickly.

XM-L has more cache than XP-G. I think the premium makes will rush to adopt the XM-L 2 because customers will be asking for it. I plan on holding off buying anymore lights until the XM-L 2 comes out. I have enough to hold me over for a while.

This sounds like a good quote for someone's signature line! We'll hold you to it Speedsix! Remember - NO MORE LIGHTS! :)

Without proper driving XML2 doesn’t mean anything.
s. does this means cheaper XM-L T6 and U2 :slight_smile:
