It has been in the works for many months and some of you know of its development. Thanks for your input and suggestions everybody.
This new light does not replace the 007 XP-G. Both will be available for now.
The new XM-L emitter is as you all know amazing and when run at full power, it kicks.
The tiny SPY needed a few internal changes to accommodate this power including an upgraded converter. Thanks Wayne.
Cosmetically unchanged, this latest variant of the SPY 007 has a new emitter/converter combination especially matched to hit up to 12 Watts of power for short periods of time.
Emitter: XM-L in bright white and neutral and warm.
Electronics: new STFu MK-III 3000mA uP converter board (this is the same as the STFu MK-II but with upgraded power IC that is more efficient and more accurate).
Power output: Up to 3000mA for a short period of time (~1 minute) then slow roll back to 1000mA as is standard with previous STFu. Neither the batteries (AW IMR 3.7V 550mAh) nor the emitter could stand a longer run time at this extreme power due to the heating that occurs in the tiny SPY. Rechargeable batteries are required to hit the 3000mA level. Primary batteries are able to reach ~1500mA. As usual I will supply a set of primary batteries with the light but I do not sell the rechargeable batteries. Remember you will need a charger too. In its default configuration the light will cal for primary batteries at a max of 1000mA.
New emitter heat sink integrated with a thermal path to the STFu similar to the Tri-V design but more refined with a stronger thermal path. See pics below.
The reflector is the same McR-18 and with the XM-L the big change is that the hot spot is bigger and to a lesser degree brighter. Of course on high the flood is way brighter as well. There is a small brass centering ring that has four little fingers that fit up inside the small end of the reflector. This piece fits down over the XM-L emitter for a perfect alignment of the system.
