Here it is. Cree's new "XLamp XP-E2 Torch" LED.
Specs per Cree;
Cree XLamp XP-E2 Torch specifications:
Standard Cree XLamp XP-E2 specifications:
Viewing angle change to 125°. Maybe different dome. Have to get a hold of one to find out.
I noticed they used the same photo for E2/E2 Torch. Does anyone know what the increase is actually coming from when compared against the standard XP-E2, besides the specifications change?
The change is something but appears to be a very high bin of the same design. It's a new LED listing now rated at 89% the lumen output of the XP-G2, where before it was rated at 55% the lumen output of the XP-G2. The total gap in surface area between E2 and G2 die is much larger than 11%! I'm starting to draw conclusions now...
