Light Recycling Technology in the New Microfire Excalibur H20

[djozz]

Thanks for the review! I can not help thinking that they could have used a smaller host while keeping the same lens diameter. I used the same led and a wavien collar in a Cometa host (=Jaxman Z1 clone) which is maybe 1/4 the size of this Microfire, and already measured 560 kcd.

Here’s a test of the Osram KW CSLNM1-TG (nicknamed “White Flat”) I did a few months ago:

Led4power.com : LD-4 CC linear drivers, ILC-0/1 illuminated tailcaps, optics, MOSX, copper DTP MCPCBs...

My son and and a friend who was coming to play at our place had way too much energy so I kicked them onto the streets to play in the playground a few streets away. So that freed some time for the led test. [image] [image] Note that I used my standard test method with all the added disclaimers about how it is done. Especially note that I keep using the djozz-lumen although I know that it is between 7% and 10% too high, I do this to be consistent, so results can be compared to all my earlier led…

In limited quantities sold by led4power there’s an even better led they could have used, for 11% more output and throw with no downside, the KW CULNM1-TG, it is the same led in a 4040 size instead of 3030.
