Djozz, you are measuring the current at the led? Right?
The others at the tailcap before a driver?
Maybe that can explain something.
With these high currents weird things can happen.
The best dog walking light will vary by person but there are a lot of options. At the top of my list would be an L6 / S70s if you want something you can knock someone over the head with if needed. The Q8 is also a great option for this.
In smaller packages an X6 or X7 triple makes for a great overall light with some good output.
Just updated my MT07 with a XHP70.2 (same P2 3B), but from KD. I did make resistor mods, but had somewhat disappointing results with updated to a XHP70 P2 1C - now I'm not even sure it is what I thought it was....
Significant gains. The boost in throw is very encouraging. The MT07 has an OP, but it's a big head for sure at 86 mm, and 72.5 mm I.D. Sorry, didn't measure amps.
So far everyone that’s shaved the dome on one of these ‘new phosphor’ emitters has gotten reduced intensity and lumen output.
I think ONE person managed to dedome one? Can’t remember for sure.
