Tri-EDC with XM-L emitters?

quine · Dec 12, 2012

Is it possible to make a tri-XM-L EDC? If not, why not? This is probably obvious, but I don't know enough to know why. I assume it would draw too much current or something.

You could drive it at any current you like - I think the biggest issue is space. You could cram 3 XM-L's in there, but there's be no optic that would work.

I didn't even think about that. That makes sense. If an optic were available, or could be made, would 3 XM-Ls eat through batteries more quickly than 3 XP-Gs (on the brightest setting)? What would be the difference in OTF lumens? Would it be significant?

What would the benefits be of XM-Ls over XP-G2s? How much OTF lumens are you looking for? How much tailcap current do you think you could max out at?

Note that I'm actually asking, not being judgemental!

Truthfully, at the drive currents that you could achieve in a light of this size, I think that the XP-G2 would be a better bet.
