It's the neutral white XP-G one, the tint is great for the R4 flux efficiency bin. It was great on AA, but once I got home I tried it with a 14500 and high mode is insanely bright, I'd guess at 300 lumens on start-up dropping to about 250 over a few minutes, and it doesnt heat up anywhere near as fast as I was worried it might.

Anyway, I did a runtime test, so here are the results if anyone's interested:

The cell used was a 6 month old Blue Trustfire '900 mah' cell from DX.

1min: -4.21v -1.44A
5min: -3.98v -1.25A
10min: -3.82v -1.19A
15min: -3.70v -1.15A
20min: -3.60v -1.12A
25min: -3.56v -1.10A
30min: -3.50v -1.08A
35min: -3.44v -1.05A
40min: -3.19v -0.99A
41.5min: -CUT-OFF -Cell at 3.02v under load.

The cell was 3.19v after being left at rest for 25mins.

Pretty similar to what others have reported, but with a little added info to take into account.
