Cree XM-L is a year old now; what next?

What's next? Hopefully something that's easier to focus. The XM-L requires an annoyingly large reflector to get a good beam. The XP-G was just about perfect for pocket-flashlight use.

Yes, though I've heard the non-flat die in the XPG2 is harder to focus than the XPG1.

As it turns out, the XP-G2 is a flip chip, much like rebels. So it will be just as easy to focus, with no bond wires or anode grid to get in the way.

I think he's getting XP-G2 and XT-E mixed up.
