There is no scare, look at the interior lights everyone uses 700mA and 1A for LEDs like XP-G2, everyone wants long life and efficiency (which is better at normal currents than any max rating or any so called over-driving). I guess flashlight world is quite different, anyway nowadays we have TN36 at 5A-6A per 1 XM-L.
I am talking about for example Uniquefire, and i am sure countless other flashlight manufacturer, that don’t dare release a light out of spec. It is for those more conservative parts of the industry we need Cree to acknowledge, the very real possibility & reality that when using a DTP copper mcpcb, the Cree led’s can be driven much harder within safe parameters, than the current max spec of 3A.
We have the High Density & now High Intensity, Now we need the next step the High Output Cree binned Emitter. With for example fatter or extra bondwires to share the load, i suspect we can drive these led’s even harder but we are limited by the bond wires that burn up much sooner that needed.
I don’t have any de-domed to give you, or I’d be on it! If you’re serious, I’m sure someone here would be happy to take you up on that deal. Now, if you want to send me the twenty domed and give me a couple days to de-dome and send ten back to you, I’d be happy to do that for you!
