Green is never ideal, especially since it desaturates colors, but if this one can hit 1mm² osram surface brightness and double the lumens from a round LES, let it be (a bit) green! <:)
I think it’ll be a great sft40 alternative for 18650 lights. Since its only 2mm², even 6A should throw really well if efficacy isn’t crap. I like to upgrade to a 21700 platform for the 8-9A the Luminus wants. I’ve never warmed up to the PM1 because of its asymmetric corona /rectangular die other than in a D4S where the quad orientation averages this out. It also begs for a collared aspheric build.
Target reflectored hosts for this emitter imo would be in the size range of the (Convoy) M2, D80v2, and C8+. Smaller won’t handle the wattage and larger will be too pencil beam for my taste. Ymmv.
I use LD-4A set to 7A-9A. Seems to work fine in C8+ with Culpm1 and YinDing. I really like Culpm1 in C8+ driven at 8A. Probably my favorite thrower. I like it more than L21B with SFT-40. Beam is purer and warmer white and throws almost as far, when viewed with bare eye. L21B might throw further, but weather must be crystal clear with it.
