CREE XP-L HD V6 LED: 521 LED lumen
CREE XP-L HI V3 LED: 450 LED lumen
Nichia 219B-V1 CRI92 5700K D220 LED: 300 LED lumen

D25A RC TI Max output:

2017 already? Wow, they almost beat the car manufacturers. 2018 models to be announced in 19 days.

I've always been tempted by these but never cracked. I may this time around.

Any idea why they went from 5000k to 5700k? Isnt that on the cool side? I'm a neutral fan myself.

Capolini I imagine at 1000 lumens yours gets very hot pretty fast no?

It has a 2 minute step down. It depends on the outside temp in how hot it gets. This time of year it will be hot at that point, although I rarely blast this light on max for more than 2 minutes. In other words, I do not step back up again unless it is winter and CAPO's last call takes a bit longer!

Are they both 1000 lumens on max with 4.2V cells?

It would have been nice to have more manageable max level, say, 600otf for 16340 and 350 for 14500.

Looks like they failed to address the undesirable mode spacing on the D25C:

1/32/294/450 LED lumen (XP-L HI V3)

Because if 32 lumens isn't enough output for your lighting need, you obviously need nearly 300 lumen output instead!

:rolleyes:

Ansi specs for the Nichia version of the D25c, are 129/16/0.5

Brightness specs in the first post are potentially misleading because:
1. OTF lumens numbers are 50% higher than ANSI lumens.
2. Turbo modes are limited to 200 seconds.
3. The brightest LEDs have the lowest CRI (and coolest CCT)

and
Eagletacs claim that they use NoPWM has repeatedly been shown to be false. see
this post for more details

Can't tell, as I don't have the older version to compare it with.
