Dang, I need to replace all my flashlights again.
Fortunately, Cree can't release new lighting standards that make old lights obsolete (Here's looking at .doc/.docX!). But I keep wanting to take their new phosphor-dome LEDs and make a showerhead dropin taking 1 amp per LED. I think 3xIMR18650 would give me 20A of direct drive fury...
It's not like I have 3x IMR18650 to use ... so I think you'll beat me to it. But I do have about twelve LifePO4 18500s. 600 mAh capacity thoughHey! That was my idea!
Whoa - Fwd voltage all the way down to 2.50v!

Why ???
At 700mA an XT-E Neutral puts out 203 Lumens.
At 700mA an XP-G Neutral puts out 213 Lumens.
At 700mA an XM-L Neutral puts out 240 Lumens.
For some reason, when you mentioned the word "showerhead", I envisioned a desk lamp made from an actual showerhead, with the nozzles replaced with LEDs, constructed specifically for the purpose of confusing the hell out of everyone.Fortunately, Cree can't release new lighting standards that make old lights obsolete (Here's looking at .doc/.docX!).

It sure looks to have a 1mm by 1mm die, and given the very high binning temperature...This may be the first good news for thrower fans in a very long time.
XT-E is rated at Tj=85C while XP-G and XM-L are rated at Tj=25C, the output of XT-E at least as good as the XP-G.
They've tried to make things more realistic - like FourSevens stepping up to the ANSI rating and having their S2 XP-G quarks rated at lower output than the R5-bin lights.This is a significant change to the way they are binned.
Would have to do a comparison of the spacial distribution curves. The design looks like it might put more light into a reflector. May be an interesting flashlight LED.
