A stock Amilite has a T-bin Lux3. If upgrading to U-bin, how do I know which Vf to choose? UX1K vs UX1L? I don't have a DMM, BTW.

Since the Amilite has a regulator/driver, I'd go with the lower VF bin you can find (currently UxxK) as it will let the battery last longer. UxxK will also work with a direct drive setup, but I don't believe R123As fit very well in the Amilite or whether the driver circuit can take the additional voltage.
