I’ve measured the tailcap current and these (XM-L2 7135x8) variants are 2.8A (8x 350mA = 2.80A instead of 8x 380mA = 3.04A).

I’ve also ordered the new metallic color, and they seem to be similar design as the older S2+ except for the metallic tailswitch (which is on the previous red/green/blue, but not the black/grey which use rubber buttons).

However, the new colors (purple/orange/cyan) body tube didn’t seem to use the reversible clip position that’s present on the Clear Silver and the Desert Sand. (in the Desert Sand and Clear Silver S2+ body tubes, the pocket clip can be positioned near the tail or near the head since both have the same “depression” (what’s the correct term?) for the pocket clip to hold onto.

Additionally, I notice that the colored S2+ come with a nicer quality adjustable lanyard strap, compared to the older black/grey S2+ (which comes with a basic non-adjustable lanyard strap). The Clear Silver and Desert Sand S2+ also come with the same higher-quality adjustable lanyard strap, but their package also includes the pocket clip (the pocket clip is not included in the other colored packages).
