I may be a false profit, but you heard it here first.
Now with higher power brighter LED options like the Cree XM-L2 90CRI that has been out, and with a tiny throwing Nichia 219c HiCRI 4000K, triples/quad designs, creating a wall of flood, become complex and unnecessary, duplicated with a single brighter LED and removable diffuser.
Certainly, some will want triples and quads of the brighter new LEDs with 2400+lm of flood clipped in the pocket. But it is a purposeless design if it can't throw with that many lumens, serving only to blind and wow.
I'm not dogging triples and quads. Cree and Nichia are.
