What size lens does this light have? Or maybe the question is. What size lenses fit? I already have quite few AR lenses and would like to know if any of them will do before ordering.
I've been mulling this over for a while. I already have a couple of nice throwers that see little use (but then it's not really about need is it!)
Trying to curb my spending but also keen to try making an MT-G light and thought this might make a good host. Not much discussion on that topic in this thread unfortunately.
Sorry if this has been asked but do we know the driver size/diameter?
Thanks for pulling this together MrsDNF. Do we know if this is strictly 20 units only or was the talk of 50 more accurate. Don't want to order now but then find out later that they are all gone?

. . . to me it doesn’t really matter. I’m more concerned about throw, anodizing, build quality and value for money.
In that case, this clearly is the light for you. The larger reflector will make this a be better thrower. Also, you can't fully drive an xml with one cell. The higher voltage of 2S and 3S cells gives you the overhead you need to fully drive the emitter.
Just make sure you know how to safely use Li-ion in series. A couple more precautions are needed.
The only thing that’s turning me off the Y3 is the low drive current. 2.5A is not much for a host of this size and many members have said that the driver is not modable to increase drive current. And while the two button interface is nice, it does not leave many options for a driver replacement.
I was going to order, but then I noticed OP reflector and aluminum-mounted LED… XinTD X3 is SMO with LED on copper, is driven harder at stock, smaller, lighter…
