A quick cross reference for comparing XM-L2 to XM-L in standard white is shown here. This allows one to easily compare the performance of the two products at two different binning temperatures. Using the example at the bottom of the page, an XM-L2 from the T5 Flux bin which delivers a minimum of 260 lm at 700 mA and 85° C has similar light output to the U2 flux bin which delivers 300 lm at 700 mA and 25° C. It’s is important to utilize this cross reference when making initial comparisons as flux at different binning temperatures are very different. Please note that this is just a guide.
