Is Fireflies NOV-Mu best option for a 2000K E21A?

I would prefer higher lumen but e21a can’t handle much current)

The E21A is surprisingly powerful. In a quad configuration in can take safely up to 8A.

I’ve had a quad E21A 2000K in a V3 Wizard pro. It made more than 1000 lumens.

Quad E21A 4000K in convoy S2+ with the 5A driver was about ~ 1000lm as well.

When ordering a non-mule E21A from Hank you can ask for the 7.5A driver.

EMISAR DT8 with 8 leds for 90$

intl-outdoor.com states it uses the 9A nofet driver. That means this setup is severely under powered. Maybe he can adjust the current to 14A when asked.

NOV-MU’s emitter placement is much better than the D4K mule (…)Also NOV-MU uses a white MCPCB and SS bezel which maximizes reflection. The LUME1 buck driver of the NOV-MU is more efficient than the linear driver and it also has USB-C.

I hope Hank will catch up because he doesn’t seem to care that much anymore. People will buy literally anything he brings out, doesn’t matter if it’s mediocre or not.
