Here’s the output measurements with the supplied batteries. No notable increase with high drain VTC5A (about 10 lumens).
Wuben TO46R
Turbo 0 sec: 1180 lumens (stepdown at 1 minute and drops down to 520 lumens at 2.5 minutes with the head at 50°C)
Turbo 30 sec: 1140
High 30 sec: 586
Mid 30 sec: 196
Low 30 sec: 37
Moon 30 sec: 5.6 lumens
maukka, maybe this is a dumb question, but considering the supposedly “expected” 1300 lumens - adverstised by the manufacturer - and these 1180 lumens measured, this decrease is due to the emitters used? Meaning NW (modded for this GB) vs CW (original)?
This is just a curiosity and will not influence - IN ANY WAY - my option to buy the light in this GB
Thanks for your work and for _ the _’s work on this
Hmm that 1 minute turbo time is kind of a bummer. The lumen output for 1100 is understandable due to the CRI rating though. The Jaxman E2L can maintain 900 lumens with no step down, though it gets a litte hot after a while. So I’d at least like to have seen a 900 lumen option. Hmm.
For the price though, I’m still interested and on the list already.
From what I understand, you sacrifice lumens for high CRI. So I think this is normal for 90CRI. High CRI requires more phophor to be dumped on the LED blocking more light.
Right. Actually, this –10% is way less than the typical drop.
For example, XHP70 top-notch CW swapped to 90+CRI 4-5000K is usually roughly a 25% drop in output (which I’m totally ok with, as 90+CRI is just so pleasant to my eyes)
Me too, but we agreed on no UI changes during this GB (mostly because of the cost and time needed to properly test the new UI) -> This GB will be with the current UIs.
