Re: r LEDS, Nichia 219
I had great luck with Solarforce tail cap running high current. The reverse clicky are especially good at high current applications due to the lack of a thin forward press spring.

Re: r LEDS, Nichia 219
The forward clicky in the L2T works fine for me up to 5A. I don't have L2N so I don't know. But yeah if your switch burn I can send you another for free. I got a few extra on my end.

XM-L2 is version 2 (announced by Cree like this month).
XM-L2 is ~20% brighter compared to the same bin from the old XM-L.
If you mean "who can fix it (if the light breaks)?", it's Vinhnguyen! Though he's not in the UK (currently at Seattle), he does mod jobs and is knowledgeable with electronics in drop-in flashlights.
If you mean how to install the P60-sized drop-in, then you need a 6P-type host that a P60 LED bulb can slot in. Install the P60 by just putting it in, that's all. No screws, glue, wrench, etc needed. Unlike the PD32 which has a second button to conveniently switch mods, a 6P-type host only has one tailcap button. You switch mods with it by turning the light on/off within 1 second.
There are 3 main commercial brands that make flashlight bodies that accept interchangeable P60 LED modules: Surefire (brand-name), Solarforce (1/4 cost of a Surefire), and Ultrafire (poorest build quality).
There are also custom-designed hosts on CPF's Buy/sell/trade thread. FiveMega's Cooly host for example is a beastly looking body.
You'll also want a McClicky on/off since Vinhnguyen's XML's pushes the limits. The stock tailcap switch is good at 3A current draw. A McClicky is good at 5A.
You'll need to use aluminum foils to wrap the drop-in as you pop it in the torch host, because there may be a gap that subtracts from thermal release. Copper foil is better, and you can buy some in CPF's MarketPlace forum.
If I recall correctly, a cool white's output is ~7% more than of a 5000k. 5000k's color tint is better (warmer), as cool white deadens renditions of skin and leaves.

U3 is ~7% brighter than a U2.
I think the current XM-L2 cool white is a U2 (~12% brighter than a first-gen XM-L U3). I don't recall reading about a XM-L2 U3.
Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.
Both XM-L U2 and XM-L U3 are of the previous LED generation.

You can view a Cree LED datesheet at 3A here: http://flashlightwiki.com/Cree
For modding the XM-L in the PD32UE, you can to visit Vinhnguyen's mod thread. He has done quite a few LED swaps.
22% output increase?

22% with the same neutral 5000k look yes?.
also would an MCE LED be better than the XM L2 ?.
thanks for that all.

The mc-e is a smaller die and better for throw, won't put out as many overall lumens.
And yes jaycyu, the XM-L2 comes in T6, T5 and U2 cool white and T5, T4 Neutral White, according to Cree's documentation.

Forgot to mention, Vinh has previously stated (couple of days ago) that the 5000K tint in the new XM-L2 is the best he's seen in any Neutral White.
