I was in Wally-World, and went to the flashlight section (of course) to see if they had anything new. I noticed the 2D LED on the racks, and something caught my eye.
412 meters. So I looked at the rest of the specs: 168 lumens, 42533cd, 6h45min. The LED is still small, but there is not green. I'm thinking it's an XP-E2, but It's hard to tell though the packaging. That would explain the increased throw. The body still looks like the classic 2D.
The 3D still has the XP-E, but maybe those are old stock.
I find this interesting, as the 3rd Gen (with XM-L2) seems to blow away the regular LED models in every way except throw. I figured the 3rd Gen was going to replace the old one, but it seems like we have a choice between the two. The price was around $35. I didn't buy one because my wife was with me, and it's hard to justify yet another light.
I may get one on sale later.
