After watching similar vids:
I am wondering, why isn't a flashlight out there that would fully utilize the XM-L / XM-L2 / U2 diode?
So far, all the lights that have come to my hands had a driver that somewhat reduced voltage. And max. current was about from 700 to 1500 mAh, regardless the Panasonic 3400 mAh cell which can supply more than 5 A.
Even with a flashlight using 7x CREE XM-L, total output current was 1.66 A !!!
Where is the problem? Is there really NOT a single lamp which would fully utilize the CREE LED? Moreover, the settings could be much easier (connecting straight to the battery).
Thank you a lot in advance.
