M44 with UV 365nm option

If you want to do math and quantify how dangerous UV is to eyes as a function of wavelength, here ya go.

See figure 3.

Is there any explanation of the difference between the old boost driver and the new Lume x1?

I love all of my boost driver lights, but was curious what the new one improves on.

@loneoceans (being its designer) can of course give you an authoritative explanation, but AFAIK the main differences are:

  • newer MCU: AT1616 (or possibly AVR32DD20?), even the simplest AT1616 has quite a few advantages (factory-calibrated temperature sensor, UPDI programming interface, etc);
  • 40W instead of 24W;
  • UDR, meaning you can have much lower moonlight levels;

I’m sure there are more differences, but these are are the ones I know about.
