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lights that I just paid for - some of which are still in the mail on the way to me - now being just a little bit outdated!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

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… 
.
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 
With the 0.05 lower voltage requirement will a new series of drivers be needed or offered, or will the current ones work?
Also, whether it uses the current or new driver will it give slightly more full power output on the same battery?
