Lumintop Prince 18650 Copper Flashlight Discussions | Drop

Dec 24, 2016

Got mine today. Works well, however it is worth noting it is NOT an XM-L2 LED but rather an XP-L LED. This is good IMO, as I prefer the XP-L, but they use the same die, so functionally is identical.
Also worth noting that the included 18650 is a protected cell and has a built in charger. There is a micro usb port near the top of the cell for charging.
Build quality seems excellent, and the lens is AR coated which is great.

Jensen567Hey @Jensen567 - This should have the Cree XM-L2(U2) LED per our understanding of the specs. Do you have the box there still to show us an image? Thank you!

KatieAI do not still have the box, but I can take a photo of the LED. As well as another known XP-L and a known XM-L2 if you'd like. They're easy to tell apart.
The XP-L is basically just an XM-L2 die in the XP sized package though, so light output is the same provided correct bins, and I will give them the benefit of the doubt there.

KatieALumintop Prince I recieved.

A known XP-L

A known XM-L2

The XM-L2 has more silver around the actual die. The XP-L also does not have a locating dot.

Jensen567Thanks @Jensen567 - I'll have to dive in and inquire with the vendor. With the holiday upon us I may not receive an answer for a few days. Please know that I'm working on it but there may be a slight delay in response. Happy New Year in the meantime...!

KatieANo worries. Again, this was actually a positive change in my book, mostly just mentioned it for other users to know that it isn't a knockoff or lower quality LED.
