What lights use the XP-C emitter?

So I've quit purchasing expensive lights (my EDC needs are met) and have mostly limited my flashlight purchases to gift lights and beaters for around the house or the car. Two of the lights that I've purchased, the Inova X1 AA and the Energizer Tactical AA, both have great beams and tint and the thing they have in common is that they both use the XP-C emitter (or so I've been led to believe).

I understand that the XP-C can't give output like the -E or -G or other more recent emitters, but given the gorgeous beams and consistent tints that budget lights are producing with this emitter, it seems like this would be an extremely popular emitter choice for lights that don't need more than 40 or 50 lumen outputs.

Are there other decent lights that use this emitter or does the drive for output and efficiency force manufacturer's to use larger, harder to focus emitters with less consistent tint?

i had done a emitter swap to my Icon Link, and am about 90% sure it was an XP-C emitter inside.

Brite-Strike EPLI uses XP-C.

A few unnamed budget lights use XP-Cs, as well.

Edit: I guess I should read your OP more closely :oops:
