Guys this is to confirm, from my part, the measured ~150 Fenix lumens on 10440's:A simple wall double bounce tells my eyes that indeed my 4Sevens PenLight mocha (rated 180 47's lumens, which coincides pretty much with 180 Fenix lumens) is noticeably brighter than the E09/ES12 on 10440's. That's a plus for the PenLight (1.8A current draw!) but also a plus for the E09 since its low LiIon current draw is a VERY SAFE way to run 10440's.
Last night i gifted yet another E09 to another neighbor. It was the 9th copy which i gifted away!!, leaving me with 3 copies for myself: 1x black (303.. serial number'ed, shelf copy), 1x black (112.. serial number'ed as my beater with LD01 pocket clip and unusually large very round artifacts-free hotspot, beautiful!), and 1x gungray (in transit from DD, possibly shelf copy instead of gift hehe). Yep, that's a total of 12 E09's which i got my filthy hands on, plus the E10, E11 and "E12" (=stainless steel version of E09, designated ES12), and they all share the identical driver and XP-E R3 led.
Oh, it's early morning. i am filthy. Time to take a shower, gotta run, bye!! :bigsmile:
