No authority on the subject here, but it appears to be. I won't be buying one.

I dont understand why they made one w/o the optics, thats what the inovas are known for.
old XO: http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/inova_xo.htm
Runtime: [non-dimming] 4 hours to 50%
Throw: 884
Output: 2000
things to note: Mine, great light, best for EDC in my collection
New XO: http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/inova_xo-r.htm
Runtime:[rollercoaster] 1.5 hours to 50%
Throw: 792
Output: 3700
things to note: rollercoaster regulation, no optics, bigger head
For an extra 1700 worth of output sacrifice 2.5 hours of runtime...jeez WHAT ARE THEY THINKING???

Opinions differ. The sample QB got really is that bad. Some of us think it was a bad sample and that a proper new XO would behave better. However, QB has told it like he saw it, and unless Inova sends him another sample which tests differently, he's - properly - sticking by what he saw.dmz said:
If anyone else gets one and it behaves differently, then we might now; but no one has come forth so far.

He says he called them and Inova said that's normal with the new 'semi-regulated' version.
I believe someone else also got a sample of the new one and got the same results. I can't remember who.

the xo-r has the same regulation as the OLD xo
quickbeam updated his site.
i would but the xo-r, pop it open and then put some nice cyan or blue or royal blue luxeon in it.
