choosing a nice white BIN for a LuxIII

Photonfanatic has these for sale right now and I need one for a cr123 light
which one is better?

AFAIK they both have the same tint (X1) but which voltage is more desirable?

L = 3.75V-3.99V
N = 4.23V-4.47V

I'm guessing the lower voltage (L BIN) it requires is preferable? longer runtime?

Can a UWOK or UWOL be found anywhere?

thanks for any input

He had UX1K at one point.
That would be even better.
Check the dealers corner part of the forum.

But if not, UX1L is the better one for a single cr123 light.
Especially, a direct drive rechargeable "3.7 volt" cr123 light.

UWOK and UWOL are at present, made of "unobtanium"
Those won't be easy "to say the least" to find.

thanks, that varified my suspicions. UX1L it is.

Running an L Vf bin in a single cell light could put a real dent in your runtime, depending on how hard you push it. If, for example, you are going to run the Lux III at 500mA, with a K Vf you could expect about 1.5 hours of runtime. With the L Vf, you might get 20 minutes less. Of course this is a rough, give or take estimate.

I'd wait for a J Vf U bin, considering the premium price that U bins are demanding.

If you are just out for the absolute brightest light that you can get, then by all means go with the L Vf U bin. Odds are that it will, at the least, be a tad bit brighter than a good T bin. If you are looking for a real tool that will last as long as it could and still give you bright light, then just save yourself some money and grab a nice H or J Vf T bin.

yea go for a T**H

any ideas on where i can find said Bins?
