I\'m confused...KL1 question

I have the newest style KL1 that I have listed in BST. I was asked if it had the 3 watt Lux III. I see another member has one for sale and he says it's marked 3 watt. My package says 1 watt. Is this just old packaging they put the newer KL1 in?

That is my understanding. They were shipped in the old packaging.

The new KL1's are for sure Luxeon III emitters. The packaging is old.

The KL1 uses a 1watt luxeon III.

It is not a 3 watt light.

Dano, someone better tell SureFire that....

Mine came in a thermal stapled blister pack and I have the glossy insert right here. It says:

KL1
3 Watt LED Head
Fits Executive Series
Flashlights

Just to add lithium to the fire.. mine says 1W /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Put it this way, it's a Luxeon III (the III having no meaning other than as a product model number), POWERED at 1W. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Realistically, the new KL1 is powered at a lot more than 1W, it's much closer to 2W, 550mA.

I may have a 5W RATED LED, but I may power it at 1W too if I was designing a flashlight and wished to do so for whatever reason.

I agree with the fire. I just am amazed at the smoke. SureFire marketing seems to have a big slice of the pizza at the board meetings.
