Has anyone measured the lux at one meter of the Orb Raw with Cree LED? How does the throw compare with a Fenix P1 or P1D CE?

Orb Raw Cree High : 1000 Lux
Note there are two different Orb Raws that use the Cree XR-E emitter: the CR2-powered version, and the smaller Ns version that uses a 14250 cell.dammitjim said:Is the P1DCE noticably brighter than the Raw Cree?
Yes, it's about that short. It doesn't go out at that point, just gets dimmer. You can use the increased XR-E efficiency to get either more run time, more output, or a blend. Apparently Orb intentionally went for max output on the Ns "high" setting.dammitjim said:Thanks, I'm most interested in the NS.
Is the high runtime on the XR-E NS still that short? I was hoping the runtime would be improved with the new LED.

robm said:The runtime is quite short on high, but it can only really be used in bursts - at full power after a few minutes it is too hot to hold.
I think a continuous 12 minutes would have the NS smoking...
