I found the Xeno X03 XM-L (Cool White) CW through Tactical HID's website.
Comes with lanyard, spare rear switch and o-rings.
Uses 1AA Alkaline, Ni-mh, Ni-cd, Lithium, 14500 Li-ion or Lifepo4.
Has a finger grip machined on the battery tube.
Uses XM-L Cool White Led with an Orange Peel reflector.
Glass lens, Stainless Steel Bezel and Glow in the dark o-ring behind the lens.
This is where the positive anode of the battery makes contact with a spring.
Uses double o-rings and square threads.
Inside view of the reverse clickie.
Glow in the dark rear clickie cover.
It's a 3 level light. Medium. low then high. Does not remember it's last level when shut off.
Tail stands

The Xeno X03 XM-L CW is a very excellent built light. I have 4 Xeno Lights and their build quality is excellent. The finish is excellent, I don't know if Xeno is using Type III Hard Anodize or Type II Anodize.
As all the other Xeno light I have they all use square threads. The threads are smooth but were not lubed.The battery tube connected to the head must be glued because I cannot remove it.
The battery tube has the "unique" finger grips machined in it. The cut out grips look cool but they always seem to cause me to "fumble" the E03 around to find that perfect grip with the cut outs. I just grab the E03 in any position and turn it on.
I was very surprised when I first turned on the E06 using an Alkaline. Very floody and bright! The beam is all flood no throw.
Using a 14500 is even more bright. In high using the 14500 battery the head heats up quick. Tactical HID does not recommend running the E03 in high with 14500 for more than 5 minutes. Tactcal HID said they have not had any failures of the XM-L being run too hot, about 100 sold so far.
The tint on my XM-L Cool White has a very very slight tint towards the blue. No slight green tint noted.
Using a 14500 in low the beam is too bright for reading. The medium and high seem very close in brightness. I haven't used at this time any Alkaline or rechargeable nimh batteries to see how much of a difference the light levels compare to each other. I like my lights to shine bright.
At this time the Xeno X03 are being offered with Cool White, Neutral White and Warm White XM-L's.
Also at this time the body colors are Ti Black, Red and Blue. The Blue look more like a Purple color.
Shipping is very fast for me because I live in the same state California where the lights are shipped. It took 2 days.
The Xeno X03 XM-L CW was purchased from Tactical HID for $29.99 + $2.99 (First Class Shipping) for $32.98 USD.
