Here is a list of the most popular LED emitters I see used in
flashlights (or have seen used). Could you guys tell me the following:
A) How much current each one needs for maximum output.
B) What is the max output (in lumens) for each.
C) What are the different tint/BINS available for each.
MC-E

Q5
I did get some nice info in PDF format on the CREE website, but
much of it I dont understand.
Also, how come I never here about Luxeon being used in flashlights?
P.S. Did I leave any group codes out? Also, I assume each emitter needs
a drive engine? You cant just stick it on a battery!?
So, what exactly is a engine? What does it consist of?
Any other comments or tech info (thermal properties, etc.) would be very
helpful
