Similar in size (5mm x 5mm) to the XM-L, the L2 has increased brightness by about 20%. It has also omitted the “grid” found on the XM-L. Light from the Fazer-LT can be manipulated in several ways. There are five modes to work, which are high, medium, low, SOS, and tactical strobe. As you can guess, the high mode has an output of 1000 lumen, medium at 300 lumen, and low at 50 lumen. A push to zoom action is available with the flashlight, which means you can manipulate the beam to reach a focused beam or let it spread over a wider area.

The XML-T6-R is very bright outputting a maximum 2000 lumens with a single 18650 rechargeable battery. It uses Shixe innovative tail switch to allow for fast mode changes from high, medium, low, strobe and SOS. If you read the paragraph above, then you’re already familiar with what flux bins are. If you didn’t…scroll up and read it before continuing. The length of the flashlight varies from 6.01 inches to 5.3 inches, depending on the use of the zoom function. Its width at the lamp is 1.37-inches. There is some waterproofing on this torch, but do not expect it to survive in water for a long time. Meanwhile, the “HI” (high intensity) version, although the same size, is FLAT (just like the XP-L HI) and is capable of producing up to 1483 lumens! It produces a very focused beam with a tight center-spot. A good example of this, is the Manker MK41. There’s also another variation to this LED, which is designated as “HD”. Your two choices are pretty good! I must correct you though, it’s the XT11GT which has the XHP35, and 2000 lumens. The original XT11S, still has the XP-L V3 LED. As far as those two choices are concerned, the differences in output, 1100 lumens vs. 2000, is negligible. The beam patterns will be slightly different, but not the brightness. PERCEPTION of brightness might be noticeable due to the more focused beam of the XP-L.As you can imagine, the operation time varies with the beam you choose. At a consistent 1000 Lumen output, the battery will be drained in 1.5 hours, while it can last as much as 18 hours on the low setting. About a year after its introduction, a “high intensity” version was released. This is now known as XP-L HI. In some new flashlights, including Manker’s T01, you’ll find the “HI” LED. Their are various versions of it, and the T01’s brother ( U11) features a “HI” in V5, which puts its highest available output between 1176 and 1227. The T01 is 900 lumens, the U11 is 1050. The ‘G’ and ‘G2’ line feature a boost in lumens. The ‘G2’ offers up to 20% more than the ‘G’. This line also offers throwing capability much closer to that of the older XR-E. Note that the size of the ‘G2’ is a tad smaller, producing a slightly smaller beam. The charger is small and portable and features flip open power prongs to plug in. The charger is adjustable via spring mechanism so you can charge other batteries large and small with it, you just need to make sure the voltage and amps match the charger output. The charger has single LED on it that lights up red to indicate charging and then turns green when complete. Charging time varies as to how much of a charge is left on the battery of course, but it takes 2-3 hours from my times charging it. Battery life just depends on how much you use it, I used it every night multiple times when I took my dogs out for about two weeks before recharging it. Power comes from a rechargeable 18650 Lithium battery rated at 3.7V. This battery is capable of holding its charge well, even when not in use. According to the company, the battery will keep nearly 75% of its charge even after one year. That’s an impressive standby time.

The new XML-T6-R series flashlights from Shixe are serious, precision-engineered illumination tools, which have been developed with tactical and everyday use in mind. Fully zoomable optic which can go from flood to spot beam very easily. Each torch comes complete with a 4200mAh rechargeable battery, UK wall plug for battery charging, adapter for 3 x AAA battery and a tough protective storage case. The other point of note is battery use. A filament bulb will chug at batteries to deliver lower performance. A conventional flashlight operating out of two AA or AAA bulbs can only offer a weak beam that barely illuminates anything. On the other hand, an LED powered by the same source will be bright, focused, and use up only a fraction of the energy as compared to filaments. A light with this LED (if there’s still one in the clearance closet) will be several years old. Its highest lumen count will be around 300, using lithium batteries. It WILL however have excellent throw! (enabling the beam to travel at a great distance) CREE, Incorporated was founded in 1987 at North Carolina State University. The research that went into the development of cheaper and more efficient ways of producing light, have almost become a household word! For those interested in handheld flashlights, the CREE LED has become the dominant force responsible for bringing the devices into the 21st century! When You’ve Seen One, Have You Seen Them All? Thank you for all the good info. I somehow thought that Cree started as a UNC-Chapel Hill project, located in Research Triangle Park (RTP).The light beam can be adjusted just by sliding the headpiece up and down from X1 to X2000. It moves fairly freely but you really can’t do it with one hand while holding the flashlight with the same hand. Part of what makes the XM-L visually distinctive, is its slightly larger size and a six-line grid across the die. Again, my advice is to stay with known brands such as Olight and Nitecore, which have moderate 1000 lumen outputs, and won’t match the size or weight of your OWN HEAD!

Finally, with regards to mAh. Yes…higher mAh is like having a bigger gas tank! A larger capacity battery means longer run time, but also longer charge times as well. As I’ve said though, beware of cheap batteries, which artificially inflate their capacity just to increase sales! With regards to some things, yes. With regards to LED’s, no. Some will say that LED’s have become smaller over the years. Some will disagree by adding that it’s the “die size” that has increased. LED’s vary in size. These differences, when coupled with the size and shape of the reflector, are what give YOU the user, the beam that you prefer.This light is very well made, it seems rugged and durable, I would happily take it outside with me camping, hiking, in the rain or whatever and I’m sure it will work when I need it. The front section or lens housing can be removed if need be and there you’ll find the LED with a copper reflector which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. Most reflectors in flashlights are very shiny or chromed metal or plastic to help increase the brightness but I’ve never seen copper before. There is a very, very new 3600mAh Panasonic NCR18650G that is real hard to get. That's as high as they go. The other manufacturers have some recent 3200mAh high charge voltage cells that are also not too common. Emitter size does not necessarily dictate beam with. One thing that often DOES aid in focusing a beam, is a deep reflector. On lights where the LED is placed within a shallow reflector, the beam is much “floodier”. One characteristic of the XP-L HI, is a narrower, more focused beam pattern.

At the core of these flashlights is the XM-L T6. This is an array of four LEDs arranged in a compact square that measures just 5mm on each side. These are powerful LEDs capable of producing a warm white light at about 2000 lumens. That is bright enough to match a 25W filament lamp but needs only a fraction of the power. The XP-L is the same size die as the XM-L2, but it’s placed onto the smaller size board of the older XP-G. Whereas the XP-G is king when it comes to “throwing” capabilities, the XP-L doesn’t throw quite as far, but it makes up for it in brightness and the fact that it can be driven at much higher currents. An example of the flux bin codes that have accompanied the LED models (as noted earlier in the article) have had naming references such as Q2, Q5, R2, L2, U2, T6, etc. These codes always follow the model number. Over the period, there have been many combinations of bins assigned which have not become flashlight components. Below, are the combinations which you are more likely to see, or have seen. Dissecting The BinsYes it’s not 2000 Lumens at all, but it still is very bright and more than bright enough to light the way anywhere you might have to go, be it just in your house or deep in the woods. There’s no denying that flashlights have become brighter over the years. And although the reasoning behind the naming of the codes means nothing to consumers, just try to remember that with each sequence of codes, the lights have added more lumens! WdtPro Tactical Flashlight is a value for money tool. The basic equipment is the same old XML T6 LED chip, with a lifetime of up to 100,000 hours. You’ll find five levels on this flashlight, which are high, medium, low, SOS, and strobe. On reliable 5000mAh 18650 cells: 5000mAh 18650 cells do not currently exist. Anyone claiming to sell a 5000mAh 18650 is lying.
