Probably worth being careful with KGT/Flashaholic’s measurements. Not sure if you recall things from a couple years ago with the KGT light box, but long story short, their measurements tend to differ significantly from others here. Maybe there’s someone with a set of maukka’s calibration reference lights?
Then again, anyone with a tube-style integrating device will tend to have higher numbers for throwers, due to the nature of the measurement tool. Accurate measurements are hard.
However, I agree that the numbers given sound a bit high. Available data on the emitter suggests that ~6000 lm is probably unrealistic even for bare-emitter test results, much less out-the-front output.
That’s an unusual revision to use… it only ever existed as an intermediate revision on a dev branch.
The most recent right now is fsm r485. I don’t think it has any major updates which would affect the SP36 though… just an improvement to thermal behavior in r472.
Otherwise, the next major update is Anduril2, which still needs a lot more testing before considering it for production use.
