Luxeon III will be available in 5 colors
white green blue royalblue cyan

Operation hours is said to be (if read correctly..)
50,000 hours driven at 700mA
20,000 hours driven at 1000mA

700mA 65 lumens and 1000mA 80 Lumen sounds quite mean!!
Specially compared to the "old" Luxeon 350mA 25 lumens.

Let the mods begin. Who will send me a drop in mod using one of these for a D cell maglite, all the way to the back end of nowhere?

"The Luxeon III Emitter and Luxeon III Star (mounted on FR4/aluminum PC Board) are immediately available in the Lambertian radiation pattern in white, royal blue, blue, green and cyan."

So the Luxeon 1 watt was 25 lumens, 5 watt = 65 lumens, then how many watts is this one?

Interest but....
I have an R2H Luxeon being driven at around 800+ mA (Madmax+) The stock output at 350mA is 40-51.8 lumens. If I go with the average 46 lumens, I am getting close. Say at 800mA it will put out double the lumens say around 90 or so...
Granted, the LSIII has larger lead wires to handle the current and uses the LSV heatsink so I give it a /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif In reality, it sounds like a Q ranked 1 watter with thicker leads and better heatsinking to give you the numbers.
When they put out the U3T LSIII... I will be in line to buy one!

Oooops /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohgeez.gif
Make the U3T to a U3H LSIII and sign me up for 5 of them!

The Lux 3s are 7 watts (7VDC @ 1A forward). Wonder if they're also dramatically overdriven parallelled-die rigs like the fives are...

Okay, I'm a retard. DIdn't see the rest of the spec sheet.

They're FOUR watters, 1A @ 3.9VDC typical.

Where are the Lux 3 specs now? the link says they have been moved but doesn't specify where.
