I’m not sure if this has already been discussed here, but I received this information in an email today.

Due to improved yield, Cree has updated the forward voltage specification for XM-L2, XP-L and XP-G2 emitters. Here is a summary of the updates.

XP-L: Old spec - 2.95V at 1050 mA

XM-L2: Old spec - 2.85V at 700 mA
XM-L2: New spec - 2.77V at 700 mA
