Mine got XM-L2 T6 3C’s put in it. Luminous Flux isn’t everything.
Heresy!!!
Will, try my Ali tonight…
Flomotion, have you tried your C8 XM-L2 U3 yet?
Flomotion, any followup?
Well, I ordered a little C8 off of Aliexpress, and it said it was an XM-L2 U3, well I got it today, and it is so marked on the opposite side of the Ultrafire Nameplate
There is now C12 XM-L2 U3:

Note: The reflector is Textured, not Smooth, giving shorter Throw.
Correction: The reflector is Smooth.

I know it says that in the description, but the photos show SMO…I just ordered one! It should be good either way!

I don’t want Textured. Beg the question, is it Textured or SMO?
Jenny Zeng replied:
“The reflector is the Smooth Aluminum reflector.”
(The Web page has not yet corrected.)
EDIT:
Now changed to:
“Reflector: Smooth Aluminum Reflector”
Ah, very good!

Haha, you can thanks me for that.
This is the light I request to be made for me, then I tell them it would interest many people.
Excellent store, you can also ask for a deeper C8 reflector and 8x7135 LED Driver.
Thanks Omega_17! The emitter and it being only 3 modes are what sold me…can’t wait!!

Thanks.
Is the C8 reflector deeper than the C12 reflector?
How do I ask for the C8 reflector and 8x7135 driver?
The version with 8x7135 driver is one of the other listings on their ‘store’ pages.

Could you give the link?

I don’t have both yet but it seems to be the same but maybe some versions are different. There is also many other flashlights with bigger and deeper reflector.
You can contact them by messenger or message only if you are a aliexpress member.
Are those really XML2’s? or fake?
Anyone got one?
XM-L2 looks genuine. U3? I have no idea, probably not.
8x7135 link :
Page Not Found - Aliexpress.com
That’s another flashlight category. Wonder why emitter bin is not specified. Thanks for the link.
Can you visually distinguish XML2 T6 and XML2 U3?
You mean the LED alone when its not being powered ? I have XML2 T6 3C and XML2 U2, the T6 have a darker yellow color (closer to orange) on the LED, the U2 is flashy yellow like lemon.
I still haven’t received my XML2 U3 so I cant tell be it should be even lighter yellow and close to green.
Only the color change but its the same LED. But careful not to base your opinion on pictures because colors are altered by the camera,treatment,compression and your monitor.
True, the colour of the emitter is down to the amount of phosphor and so correlates strongly with tint bins. But output bins are indistinguishable visually with regards the LED itself.
