interesting
thanks for the links
Successor to the XP-E . . . am I to assume this would be appropriate for a smaller light? My understanding of LED technology is limited.

i like how they are rated at 85C instead of 25C like xml etc
Noobie question...
85C instead of 25C....
What does the "C" stand for?
celsius
Pretty much the next gen of XP-E's.
Up to 148 lumen at 350mA. Worth to mention the max rated current is now 1,5A!
Might turn out rather nice. 500mA to emitter from an AA is possible. I would fancy a 1AA 200 lumen flahlight.
Man, that's something to live for!!
Spotted something, the LED die is like 3-D(Not Flattish), very interesting.
When's the XML replacement coming?
Or the MCE's replacement are coming first...
thought for my day...3-D led lights....
i bet that properly heatsinked, 2A w/o a problem
Just hope there's no tint shifting like the last xp-e update.
I already have a mod in mind for this new LED... my secksy Aurora SH-035 that's collecting dust right now
Would it be good for good throwers with aspherics?
115º vs 90º of the XR-E, I am not quite sure..
figured i'd buy one
I just checked cutter and the only xt-e offered on pcb were blue
didn't see anything at mouser on pcb either, though i'm not all that familiar w/ their site
i noticed cutter says brighter and cheaper than xre (but that's in comments for a blue one...)
90 of the XRE is better for a thrower
Love to hear how you get on with that change. My SH-035 turns blue on a 14500. Needs a driver and emitter swap.
This new LED looks very promising. I calculated that it will outperform an XP-G with around 10 pct. more light at 1.5A and run appr. 8 degree Celsius cooler (both bin R5).
At 1A one can expect 330 lumen Out-The-Lens dropping to 295 when hot.
and maybe cheaper ? 
I think the real advantage of these LEDs is their price, perhaps now we will start to see some of the cheaper lights coming out with these LEDs rather then some of the less efficient LEDs at the same price point.
and maintain output at high temps
that will be interesting
once we can find one on pcb, anybody else want to chip in on sending one to Match?
