I bet that there are some Chinese companies that will sell you some 1000 lumen ones for cheap… :party: And don’t forget to pick up some 10,000 mAh 18650 cells while you are at it…
Cree does 5mm which is just as bright as the GS at 20mA. Well, maybe a bit under but less of that purple blue. It is also a much prettier beam instead of the odd shaped one you get from the GS.
I think the Nichia HS lets you do 40mA continuous but not going to help you much if all the replacements you are going to make will be based on 20mA.
