Lensed Inova XO (now called the XO2)
Provided for review
by the kind folks at:
 
 
4½ Stars
Very Good/Excellent
         

Light Type: Luxeon LED
Light Class: Outdoor / Rough Use / Etc.

This review has been superseded by the new version of the XO being currently produced with a reflector instead of the TIR lens system. Please see that review for all the latest information. The "new" XO2 is essentially the light found in this review, but may have an updated LED as they are now advertising it as being 2 watts instead of 1 watt. Unfortunately I do not have one for comparison, so the output numbers of the new XO2 may be higher than the numbers in this review.
