Hi there,
I'm looking to upgrade the LED of my My Tiny Sun Head Pro 1000 head torch. It has a Cree XM-L U2 LED and I would like to replace this with the current brightest Cree XM-L2 chip. I'm not sure whether the upgrade would be worth it for a few extra lumens but it would be an interesting project as well. I guess there are two parts to my question:
1) Which Cree XM-L2 LED bin would be the brightest and suitable for a head torch upgrade?
2) If i replace the LED, do I need to change the driver as well, or should the existing driver be compatible to fully utilise the upgraded LED?
Apologies for the seemingly simple questions - I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to electronics.
