The U4 in an hd2010 sounds awesome, and I’m looking forward too the Mtg2. Today is the first I’ve heard of it. What are the dimensions?
Any dimensions? ![]()
Talks about the MTG2 as well
The U4 at Cutter seems to be something completely different, not intended for flashlights, requiring a higher voltage. Ooops, didn't pick up on the details. From the other thread, the MT-G2 also seems to have the same problem...
I found this: Using CREE XM-L U3 LED

And XinTD C8 with U3 ![]()

At least 2 more Crelant U3 models are available at I-O here: 7G3CS and here: 7G6CS. Also new thread here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/13204
This explains all the price drops in recent weeks to flush inventory.
so is this just the beginning of a flood of lights? that XinTD C8 looks very tempting but if there are going to be more soon…….

The XinTD C8 has gotten great reviews/recommendations here. Not sure of that 1000 lumens rating is real OTF for the U3 1C - that seems like a strech over the 910 rated U2 1A. But that brass pill looks incredible, and with a standard Nanjg driver and high qual host and reflector, it's a great deal.
If those lumen #'s are real with a stock 2.8A driver, it can do a lot more. I've gotten really good at piggy-backing 7135's lately, so this light is a prime candidate for adding a few - I would add 3 350 mAh's to get it up to 3.85A or 2-3 380 mAh's for 3.56A/3.94A - this light should be able to take it. I'm running 10*7135 380's for 3.8A now in 2 C8 lights w/smaller cheap alum pills and they can run comfortably with a 6 minute test, gets hot but not too crazy. My C8's measure 3.72A at the tailcap w/fully charged unprot. Panasonics - not much drop. Probably lose more amperage over the tailcap though, so I suspect less amperage is actually getting to the LED.
