Last week i was reading that XML2 U3 can be driven harder then all former XMLs. Today i read that Cree's new XHPs could be driven much harder. It's so dangerous if the LEDs compete with the lithium batteries for the ability to handle amps. I had a high output flood light that fried the springs once, so i had it modded to a springless battery carrier...now i'm wondering if that was unwise. The springs may have been terrible and fragile i'm not sure, but i'm thinking that it's probably best to have a couple failure points prior to the lithium batteries exploding. Can u tell i just read my 1st thread about the dangers of lithium ion batteries?
Does anyone know how many amps decent springs shrivel up at? How about how many amps XML2 U3s fry at? I have 2 lights coming in (S200C2vn and TD15vn) and both require IMRs...i'm looking at the 20 amp ones and 35 amp ones and i was hoping someone can tell me how many amps fry spings and current LEDs. Of course the 35 amp ones have less capacity so that is a negative, 2500 mAh vs 3100 mAh
