3* XM-L flashlight from DX

[LaZeRz]

Take a look at this new flashlight from Dealextreme....

$46.50 - FandyFire STL-V2 CREE XM-LT6 5-Mode 3000-Lumen White 3-LED Flashlight - Black (2 x 18650) - 18650 Cree Flashlights

DX claims it to be 3000 lumens but it is probably around ~2500

What do you think about it?

I think that running the XML emitters at 1,000mA, there's no way each emitter is putting out 1,000 lumens, or even 800.

Although, it might just be a description error.. Who knows?

are there any reviews on CPF by any chance?

XM-Ls are great. But for 910lm they need 3000mA, according to the official spec sheet.

There really arnt any cheap drivers out there that are used in cheap chinese flashlights that can supply that kind of power. No way for that price are they using 3 drivers either. I bet its bright but only 1/3 of its rating. They did the same thins with those 5x Q5 lights and others. Its hard enough finding a chinese light that uses a driver capable of powering 1 xm-l to full potential let alone 3.
