FYI: Bill Zeng just e-mailed me that they are now carrying XM-L2 Drop-Ins; here is the link:
Nice price, too. Would be nicer if they listed the amperage of the driver or at the very least showed it in one of the pictures.
He just emailed me, first, then posted it. He has some other new stuff, but hasn’t had time, yet, to get it posted. This was a build request from me, but he hasn’t sent me the specs.
Need one of these I suppose, probably a few more than one…
Have a couple of SF hosts that are sitting unused, this is a good way to get the dust off. Thanks for the post.
KaiDomain drop-ins ($11.99) and XM-L2’s on 21mm, 16mm and 12mm boards ($9.79). They are claiming U2 bin. The drop-in description also says “1A” which I hope doesn’t mean the driver is only 1 amp. It may be the tint bin, which would be quite cool white (and make sense for a U2 bin).
It has started.
The 12mm star is nice.
I just ordered a KD 1 mode 3-18v drop in to mess around with for a weapon light, and a 12mm star for swapping onto my R5-A3 which currently has a T6.
Just went for a drop-in. Thanks!!!
Glad that I just paid for and installed a bunch of U3 emitters in lights, thinking that the xml-2 emitters were months away. :0 Oops.
Good price!
are these on copper stars now. J)
Match them up with these 501B’s. (3 for $12 delivered)
Coupon code (SNAPSHOT) for 5%. off Total for three is $11.75 paid with paypal.
The new XM-L2 emitters they sell are U1-1A. So the specs on the drop-in are most likely referring to the tint. Would be very strange if they offerend newest emitter and the driver only pulled 1amp…
Its a great price… Im curious how they can sell it that cheap compared to the price of XM-L2 emitter. Makes me think the emitter is overpriced and that the drop-in is a bargain…
Does lightmalls have something in common with kaidomain? Just curious since both stores have same XM-L2 emitters and drop-ins at almost the same prices…
Pretty soon, nitro will have some BLF, copper stars in 16mm… :nerd_face:
Kaidomain XM-L2 drop-ins for the nice price of $11.99

Cree XM-L2 U2 1A 1400 Lumen 3.7V-4.2V 5-Mode OP LED Lamp
I wish they would say what kind of drivers. If anyone finds out please let us know. I’m sure I will be buying from one of these two, possibly both. If anyone has any advice please help fill me in.

I went with the Kaidomain 5 mode SMO. I just bought the one. I bought three of the hosts so now I have two more left to decide what to do with.
I went ahead ordered a SMO and OP 1 mode yesterday from KD and emailed them asking about the current. They replied to me this morning:
They didn’t update the pages for the 1 mode versions, so hopefully they are the same.
Sounds like it may be direct drive.
