Looks like the Fanydyfire Warrior with 5x LEDs. And considering it’s priced barely more than what I paid for my Warrior, it’s got potential. But I’d wait and see as the L3 was seriously under-driven. Then again, if I could pick up a used L3, I’d really want one.
I wonder, are XM-Ls currently being produced? Or is this just old stock? Has to be some serious discounts to keep using yestertech, even if it works.
Old LED sure but a beautiful tint…completely neutral and makes colors come alive!
My favorite tint…I believe they have XM-L2 U2-4C’s as well…because I have been ordering a few from FT
pretty nice. one of my favorite lights but now with 5 emitters. but not sure, because now it has the bigger head.
i like the original warrior because it has the smaller head than the srk, but is brighter and further throwing.
this head now seems even bigger than a srk.
now just gotta wait for some one to test one of these.
Sorry to break the news. But there is no such thing according to Cree`s datasheets.
On top of that, I measured it, and it was no better than T6 4D. Only a tad worse. Nothing close to a U2 binned emitter. Reference. Do not trust FT.
The light looks good IMO. I also like the size. Similar reflector configuration as the 5XM-L yupard and all its siblings it seems. Hopefully this light does not have a hollow pill like the others.
This light seem to have same issue as the others due to what looks to be similar reflectors. The black stuff holding the reflectors in place are a tad too wide, stealing a bit of output. On top of that, the reflectors are placed too far out, so some of the lights hit the reflector, and you get more loss, on top of that expect some strange lines in the outer spill due to it. Its not a big deal, but I would have preferred to see a proper 5 XM-L reflector..
Hopefully someone will pull the trigger on it. Im tempted, but Ill wait for now.
interested in this flashlight. seems SIMILAR to the solarstorm warrior with 3 cree led. what is theber in your opinion? this does have a BIGGER head with 5 led, instead 3 led on the warrior.
