Does anyone know if the 219B has the same high vf has the older Nichia’s?
I run a 219A direct drive in a C8 on 1x18650 and it pulls 1.37A, certainly not the brightest light I own, but it’s really quite nice and useful.
Wondering what these new 219B’s will be like and what sort of driver to match up with them.
Looking at Match’s results for the older 219:


It looks like a 2 cell (8.4v) input drive capable of 1.4-1.6amp would be ideal.
But is the 219B just as demanding?
