I have about 14 incandescent Maglites. I recently decided to try the LEDs and came across this thread. About two months ago, I found a 3D with the new packaging:
"New Brighter LED"
Ultra Beam Distance 364 Meters
131 Lumens
The LED is square, green, and is numbered "484"; it matches the Cree XP-E pictured earlier in this thread. The flashlight's serial number is "DL301724343".
After a recent snowmobile "mishap", I decided to replace their 2D Maglites with LEDs. Patiently, I searched for 2Ds in the new packaging and found one about a month ago:
"New Brighter LED"
Ultra Beam Distance 388 Meters
134 Lumens
The layout of the packaging is identical to the 3D version except for the 2D specs.
I've actually kept the packaging for these two flashlights; want to be sure I only buy these from now on.
But I've just looked at the 2D LED, it resembles the Rebel: yellow with two metallic traces off to one side of the substrate, bracketing a metallic dot on the substrate; it's numbered "-090" and resembles the Rebel pictured earlier. The flashlight's serial number is "DL201377738".
All of the other 2D LEDs I can find at four Orchard Supply Hardwares have the same LED - even in two older versions of packaging (one without "New Brighter LED" and "Ultra Beam Distance 388 Meters", and with different numbers in the FL 1 Standards; another with just three overlapping circles of red, green, and blue).
It appears to me that Maglite is shipping Rebels in the latest packaging too. Can anyone describe the 2D Cree XP-E?
