OK here is a comparison of a single XML ( T6 1a bin???) with a Aspheric lens vs the Cute3 +-9.5 degree optic with triple XML ( U2 1b Bin)
Single XML scores just over 10,000 lux while triple scores just under 10,000 lux.
I have not yet mounted the triple on a heat sink so can only run it for 1 or 2 seconds.
First thoughts is that this set up produces a huge amount of light. But its projected over a wide area. There is no tight central spot. Wouldnt be my first choice for low vis conditions but perhaps a great light for clear water low light conditions.
