is the LED lit up pretty bright comparing to the bulb counterpart in prev models like XL2600i or XL2610?

The light is not bad if you are just sewing for a little while. I quilt so sometimes sew for hours I bought this machine for when I travel. If you are going to be sewing for long periods of time you will need an extra light. This is a nice little machine though.

I purchased mine December 2012 and the led bulb is still as BRIGHT as ever. I use it all the time.

Hi I never got that far as to seeing if they are as bright or brighter then standard bulb, because while inspecting the fit and finish of the wiring connectors I noticed inconsistent quality. The heat shrinked connector joints were done one was done properly and the other was not even close. So I did not want to even risk it.

Hi - no. This unfortunately is far from the oem in terms or brightness and quality. Don't waste your money. It comes in a housing and the bulb is not replaceable like the OEM. I got it, put it in and realized it wasn't as bright. Basically held on it until I got the good bulb which is this one: PHILIPS KDS-50A2000 KDS50A2000 Bare Lamp XL5200 This a high quality Philips with the screw down posts, etc.

I don't think so. The LED model is the xl2370. I'm waiting for the xl2370HD if they make one...

bob, these ecobright led bulbs are manufactured with better quality parts & is designed to last longer with better internal heat dissipation. they are also brighter than the wm led 11w/60w bulb of approximately 800 lumins vs 1100 lumins for the ecobright bulb. these ecobright bulbs are somewhat larger in size too!! neil

The retail packaging the LED130 comes in says in large letters up to 250 Lumens.The other reviewer may have had a typo on their Lumens. Since the 250 Lumens rating is printed multiple times on the box, I don't know why Amazon doesn't have it in the specs, even the Cooper website detailed specs do not list the lumens rating. All lighting products should list this in order to compare products. This is a very bright usable light, unlike some/many LED products.

It sounds like your XL50 might be defective, I've looked around and no one else is complaining about run time. I guess I'm wrong about the lumen comparison but my XL100, which I bought from Amazon, states clearly on the Maglite package that it has 83 lumens. The Maglite webpage for the XL50 says 104 lumens. Either Maglite has made a mix up, or no one yet owns both flashlights.

Updated model (brighter - different bulb cheaper to replace) great projector

The difference is 126 LEDs as opposed to 160 LEDs. You would think that the 160 model would be brighter, having more LEDs, however, the 160 actually has tinier LEDs packed tighter together, as opposed to the 126 which are slightly larger LEDs spaced slightly farther apart. Believe it or not, the 126 LED has a wider and brighter light spread than the 160. Subtle, but noticeable between the two.

Yes, mine was the same, but we still love it compared to the other ones out there that you can buy. It gives out way more light with strobe effect compare to other comparable products that we've tried.

actually it is very nice...deep blacks and white whites....Samsung responded by giving the new LED based sets all 10,000:1 contrast ratio, LED DLPs are the way to go as its better technology all around with faster startup times, more natural colors, and excellent bulb life!

Good question. There are many people now selling lights saying they have more lumens than the manufacture says the max is. Cree states the max for this one here http://www.cree.com/LED-Components-and-Modules/Products/XLamp/Discrete-Directional/XLamp-XML

I don't recall seeing Philips on the bulb, but did not inspect it that closely as it was in the housing when it arrived. As I indicated in review, the housing was equivalent if not identical to original. So far, working well.

My last cheap bulb would cutout after a minute. The one before I had no problems with and lasted 2 years. However, this Philips bulb is noticeably brighter then any bulb I have had before. I would go with it and pay the extra money. My gut tells me it will last a longtime.

I actually own one from early 2012 (when they were "300 lumens"), and a new one that I just bought in late 2013. The old one has a blue hue and seems brighter than the new one, which has a yellow hue. Unless my new one is defective, the bulb has actually changed. I tried swapping the batteries between the two to see if that was it, and was the same. Older one--blue hue and brighter, Newer one--yellow hue and dimmer. Honestly it's a little frustrating because I was expecting the same brightness and hue.

Jamie, I've seen that 'Nu-flare' light under a different brand, and it is brighter, but you may be disappointed with quality. For the price, the Maglite XL100 or even the XL50 are great buys, and available at local outdoor/hardware stores. My friend has the XL100, seems a little complex to operate some of the features, I chose the XL50, and at 104 lumens, it is too bright for some work.
