SF Experts - was there ever an L5 that was NOT 100 lumens?

[MikeLip]

The question has arisen. I am clueless - as far as I know, there was only the one model and it's a 100 lumen light.

That is correct, however, when the L5 first hit the product line in 2005, the catalog reported 65 lumens to remain on the safe side since SF at that time did not know the actual output of the L5 in time to print it in the catalog, but as of now the only mass produced version is the L5 with a Luxeon V putting out 100 lumens. The Cree version that was supposed to be released in 2007 was put on indefenite hold because of design issues of some sort (I believe I heard on the forums it was due to thermal issues)

Thank you!
