I am confused a bit about the HIGH CRI Nichia NVSL219BT R85 D220
What is the maximum drive current for it and how much lumens expected to give at that current ofc i am not talking about over driving i mean just its maximum drive current like the XM-l2 at 3A
In a few different torches. And it seems to work fine, with a Samsung 25R INR battery I get approx 2.8-2.9amps at the tail cap with my DMM.
Lumen wise I can’t comment on. Obviously less lumens than an XM-L2 with the same driver and I’d guess slightly less than an XP-G2 with the same driver, based on other lights I own.
They also heat up more and quicker than either of the CREE’s. I don’t have a problem with this, but if you needed it on for a long time at high output it might be an issue.
With the Nichia in a Solarforce L2M. Specs says 2.28amp driver. I think my DMM reads a little over 2.3amp at the tailcap. Note quite as bright as the ones using the 3.0A Qlite, but doesn’t heat up as quick or as hot.
