Thanks, just ordered 2 x nw, these should at least reignite some interest in my xm-l c8 upgrade build, also tossed some 380ma chips and two 3a drivers in there. 8)

dang it… ill have to wait til the next batch. would go good in my c108…

nice to see these start popping up at the budget chinese sites now though

10

NW sold out.

11

I think I got the last one. Thanks for the heads up. Who says neutrals don’t sell?

12

Damn, REALLY wanted these… :frowning:

13

I shouldn't have waited. Oh well, it's not like I don't have too many projects on my plate as it is. :(

14

i bet you guys that missed out won’t be too disappointed when they show up elsewhere a buck cheaper next week :beer:

15

well I have a XM-L2, U2, 1C & 25mm XM-L MCPCB on the way from illuminationsupply. Will be my 1st time modding so I’m pretty stoked!

16

Thanks again Weiser. :smiley: I wouldnt have found these in time without you.

Looking again at the specs, 5k color at 1045-1120 lumens @ 3A 25°C sounds fantastic for a neutral tint. I may stick one of these in an olight m20 warrior w smo reflector mod.

Thanks Weiser for the heads up! 8)

18

No prob, fellas :beer:

I’m still a little surprised they went so quickly, even though there was only 16. Hank will almost certainly buy more for the next batch.

That’s funny how BLF probably bought his entire stock :smiley:

19

FYI - Mouser should have XM-L2 T6 5000k E3 (3A-3D range) around the first of February

and XM-L2 U2 5700k E2 (2A-2D range) around the first of March.

Thanks for the heads up, got two of the T6 5000k for myself earlier!

When you guys install these LEDs, PLEASE update us with PICS!!! :cowboy_hat_face:

22

so the light output is about 10-15% better compared to XM-L?

23

It should be between 15 and 20% better: an XML (in U2 bin) can do 1000 lumen at 25°C and 10 watts while the XML-2 does just shy of 1200 lumen at the same temperature (and power). When the LEDs get hot (~80°C) the XM-L2 should still be putting out as much light as the XML does at 25°C (1000 lumen). Of course it will appear less then 10% brighter to the human eye so the real benefit comes from extra run-time by running at 8W instead of 10.

24

I have a couple of projects that will quite like that little boost.

I may even put off getting an mt-g2 for my edc+ host, when it eventually arrives if I like this enough. We’ll see. :bigsmile:

I do agree that hank probably sold his entire stock to blf, without even advertising….pretty slick.

I’m wondering what one of these will do at 3.7a J) might just make me like my m10 even more.

25

I actually spoke with Malkoff the other day about their Mag XM-L upgrade. And they’re apparently starting to make that available with the XM-L2.

26

I asked Hank when he is getting more of these in stock but he didin’t know, he only got this small batch from his supplier. I was too slow, would have put a t6 in my 7g5v2. I guess these will show up somewhere else eventually.
