\n<\/a>CPF had a big forum crash not too long ago, so it’s a bitch to read the thread, which has all been recovered from google cache. \u00a0I’m not through reading it yet, but lots of interesting discussion\/catfights. \u00a0Techjunkie is only so trustworthy I peg him at the reliability level of an automotive hot-rod enthusiast. \u00a0Unless he’s flat out lying though, he’s got a set of 3 mags that show a big diff in running XM-L at 3.4, 4.2 ,5.0 amps. \u00a0the OP on the other hand has tested 3 samples that all seemed to like no more than 3.5A….<\/p>\n

in other news, OP has posted some vF numbers that are straight fucking crazy: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1A – 3.000v
\n2A – 3.103v
\n3A – 3.147v
\n4A – 3.177v
\n5A – 3.218v<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

that is\u00a0LOW<\/span>… way lower than the datasheet suggests (~3.420vF @ 3A I think). \u00a0\u00a0Makes for flashlights that stay in regulation longer, etc etc.<\/div>\n
techjunkie also says that he likes the XM-L better than the SST50 in every way basically… better lumen performance, better throw in same reflector, etc.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
