Gonna be sagged down by heat (insufficient heat mass) after 1 min though..... but at least there are more emitters, more die area to dissipate the heat, so not toooo bad.
Also there will be battery sag. Not sure how they'd wire it up though.
Looks like the TR-1200 reflector with XMLs jammed in it. Per the site, driven @ 2.6A so 45W? Maybe with a proper heatsink but I can't imagine this could be successful as a flashlight.
Too much $ and I am really despising the look of these long skinny 3x18650 lights. The RL-2088, CNQ long run, the V60 etc fatty style are aesthetically so much better. Probably stronger too.
That being said, a 5 x XM-L is pretty cool. Probably keep your hands pretty warm in the winter if they drive them anywhere close to 3amps.
5x Xm-L for $240? That sounds like a cheap x-ray machine. The nurse holds it against your back and the doctor stands in front of you and checks your lungs and heart.
I am interested on replacing the XR-E of my TR1200 by XM-L feeding them with the original driver, it should give quite more lumens due to the XM-L has a better lumen/watt the output should be quite better and the heat at least not higher, that´s what I think but I might be missing something, any suggestions?
*I also understand it will throw a bit less and be more like a light wall.
