Re: Actual Lumen Readings by bigchelis in 10.5in Sphere.
Is that KD reflector one with a 16mm opening or an 8.3 mm opening? If it is the larger one, then it would obviously lose some lumens that would be going out the front in a different reflector with a smaller hole.
Sorry for all of the questions, and thanks allowing us to finally determine the actual output of the ROP.
I don't see why you are disappointed with these; IMO 500+ OTF lumens from an incandescent light is plenty, especially with a nice full spectrum and good color rendering.
They were all topped off...
With 4.33A vs. your 4.4A it is not much different, wouldn't you agree? (in regards to 3854 H right) Now, if you got that with the 3853 H then I may have to redo it with new batteries or a new bulb.
That is why some ROP's were tested with 26650's and some with my IMR 18650's.
I know what you mean about the 3854L vs. 3853L, the 54L had more current yet less OTF I used a KD V3 reflector for all the tests, except the WA1185 had a metal OP reflector.
