I didn't see on the SF website where it said the U2 output varies from 80-100 lumens. I doubt you'll get a bad LED from SF. Luxeon categorizes their LEDs into Bins according to color and output quality. I think SF would only get the best.

I read that the same LEDs can vary in actual output in a seperate article, due to variences in manufacturing or something like that. But if you look at the SF website, they list it as 80Lums, but on any package, it's listed as 100 lums. I've also heard that Surefire might have a policy of underrating their lights, which seems kind of strange. So, the old packaging might read 100, but the website and new packaging will read 80.

Today, I exchanged my Glock incandesant weapon light for a Surefire X200A, that I got a pretty good deal on. Once I learned that the Surefire light will still put out light, even if at a lower rate long after the Glock light goes dead, I knew I had to dump the Glock light for an LED and Surefire makes the best weaponlights. This one is only 3watt, 60 lums rated, but I'm happy with it.

I don't think I'll ever buy an incandesent flashlight ever again.
