DX sku 6090 problems

[bikenjam]

In the last few months I've bought a few of the sku 1343 modules for my brinkmann maxfire's and they have worked very well. I was looking to set up another light with the sku 6090, but when i got it, it was much dimmer than the 1343. From the multimeter i shows the 6090 has a about three times the resistance as the 1343. Also, when using two CR123 cells, the cree only has .1 amps going through it verses .35 with my 1343.

Is it supposed to be dimmer or did i just get a bad one?

Sounds like a duff dropin. Something is probably not connected properly, causing the increase in resistance.

The soldering to the emitter on my 6090s has not been phenomenal.
