That's a bummer if it is
Am I an outlier in wishing these lights used HI LEDs? To get all those lumens, these sized lights always use multiple emitters with tiny reflectors, and the result is a floody light. XPL HI LEDs would sacrifice a few lumens (or will it?) but double the candlepower, that seems totally appealing to me. For my particular light usages, I can't find a fit for this light as-is, but think I could with HI LEDs.
