So what current can these be run at, and what output are you expecting?
4000-4500k is quite the range, I’d be more inclined to order some if they were closer to 4000k
I’m on board with 4500K, too…wonderful temp when you can find it. I’m more of a 5000K guy usually but good 4000K is ok, brushing up against as warm as I like. 4500K is like HID crisp without being white-white or harsh.
Current handling should be at the absolute minimum on par with the XM-L2.
It’ll obviously be able to reach much higher power levels since it’s a flip chip design rather than having to deal with bond wires, so that’s nice at least.
If I were to extrapolate based on the 70CRI version, I’d say 1000-1100 lumens at 10W 85C, and slightly higher at the rated 25C.
For the 90CRI version, I’d say around 700-800 lumens at the same power, although we’ll have to wait until we get to manufacturing and testing to see what the manufacturer gets on their end, and then see what we get on our end.
