i'm looking for some amber leds that can deal with a fairly large amount of power and put out a decent number of lumens. My first choice would have been the 3w luxeon, it puts out 110 lm but it needs 1450mA to really push it, and all of that at only 2.95V so i have no idea what driver to use with them. it appears the next runner up in terms of brightness would be the amber k2, but it drops down to only 70lm at 700mA. after that, it seems like the rebel is next, then the seoul, and then the cree xr series. are there any that i missed? the problem seems to be in finding something to drive them, since most amber leds have a low Vf. i know there are the large 20w multi die chips, but i need something i can focus with common optics. i tried searching on here, but found nothing. thanks!
