In a given volume, Copper holds about 40% more heat, it’s 3.3 times heavier than Aluminum. But that’s not 40% more run time, it’s longer. You now have 40% more time to bleed out that heat before it hits that too hot level. Given that heat input stays the same you start to get a curve on run time efficiency allowing an even longer run time. In my experience with Copper lights you get about twice the turbo run time.
I just feel that this isn’t designed as an efficient heat sink to begin with, and that “bleed out” is nearly nonexistent. I’ve played with numerous CPU heat sink and sorts, copper is good only if you are able to remove the heat (bleed out or forced induction with a fan or something). That’s just my experience, I would love to be wrong on not accounting something here tho.
its stated up to 6100, if it will reach that we dont know, but always take off like 20% of the lumens if u to go neutral and lower so a bit lower heat but not much… it will still get kinda hot on highest even on a WW emitters…
Heat will be the same. It should draw the same amps, just put out less lumens (typically speaking, it depends on led bin) Usually NW and WW have lower bin outputs, but 20% lower seems a bit too much. We really don’t know what led bins they will be using.
We probably won’t know until they are sold and tested.
But it’s not just NW vs WW. The 4000K is 95CRI whereas the 5000K is 70CRI. The lumen output will likely be 30+% lower on the 4000K version would be my guess.
Some people managed to drive the SST-20’s in their Fireflies E07 blue by using high drain 21700’s, hence the question. But I guess the 26650 Shockli will be fine.
