I agree with the hold for off - wut a PITA. For the green LED version: 5.4 amps on a 25S at 4.17V, and 4.2 amps on a 35E at 4.06V. But the green LED has a higher Vf than the white NM1, so if they used the same driver and circuitry, not good.

Thanks for the explanation. So, does that mean the higher amps is OK for the Osram green, but could be too much for the Osram white? How about the Osram red – is it OK if Turbo and High are showing the same brightness, even though Turbo is using more power?

I'm running 7.2 amps for a green NM1 in a Noctigon K1 - this is about the peak from djozz's test. For a white NM1, you want to be below 5 amps - The K1 is about 4.8 amps. djozz's test says it all. For the red, I'm not sure, but sounds like turbo is beyond the peak of the curve.

The output curve is real. I ran the green at 7.6 amps and got slightly lower output than at 7.2 amps.

For red, dunno - not sure if anyone published numbers or charts, but probably Hank got it right with the red K1.

Oh, another thing - Hank has the perfect driver in the K1 to handle all these different LED amp requirements because all you have to so is replace a resistor to control amp output, and it regulates very well, uses the 1634 MCU so of course can run Anduril. Find info on the resistor starting at this post in the K1 thread.

Sorry this doesn't help the situation with the FT03 mini. Sounds like they didn't take the color NM1 LED amp requirements into account at all, perhaps.
