What kind of Leds use Inova???

I thought that the Inovas used luxeon LED, but if they did saw in his boxes, and the single Luxeon comes in; 1 Watt, 3 watts and 5 watts...

I am in the correct thing???

Knock Knock... Anybody here...???

i dont understand your question... but inovas t series and the xo, xo3 use luxeon. The rest use 5mms.

Not quite sure what you're asking here. Inova has a "four watt" LED light, the T4 (and maybe the T5 as well, not sure about that). It is a Lux III driven at enough current to be four watts.

Lux I, Lux III and Lux V are not really Luxeon One Watt, Three Watt, Five Watt, etc., it depends on the current they are driven at. My understanding is calling them by wattage is a rough guide.

XO, T1 and T2 use Luxeon I.
XO3, T3, T4 and T5 use Luxeon III.

Ok, now i understand, i think the numbers on the box mean type of Led, but, if that flashlight are using Luxeon why dont show or saw nothing about it???

because they want to reserve the right to use a better LED if one comes along; packaging is made up in advance 10,000+ at a time, and if you name a brand of LEd on your package, if you change LED brands you have to discard or modify all the packaging you have already. Example: Inova now uses a 5mm LED from Seoul semiconductor in some of their products, for some applications they are equal to or superior to Nichia. Although most of the Inova 5mm products use the new Nichia CS, several use the Seoul Semi 5mm. But you'll notice that the packaging for the X5 doesn't refer to a specific brand of LED. LED technology is moving SO fast that it's a coin toss with respect to which mfgr will move ahead at any given moment. Cree X-lamp? Seoul? Nichia CS? Osram Golden Dragon? Luxeon K2?

My advice is that you buy lights based on reviews, performance, features, reputation and warranty.
