Sigma marketing specialists are selling you that… - for the most people it looks like "more than 600 lumens". :grin2:

But when you buy and try you will know that you have bought something like that… :candle:

There is enough glue on thread to make unscrewing the top cap almost impossible without damaging it - as you can see on the photos.

It looks that they use Microchip PIC12F675 - with maximal supply voltage 5.5V, that choice affects efficiency badly… And greed 1,5$ for U-bin SSC.

Code:
V-in   I-In       P-In      V-led   I-led     P-led     Eff.
8,29V  0,146 mA  1,2103 W   2,61 V  0,272 mA  0,70992   58,65%
8,18V  0,345 mA  2,8221 W   2,98 V  0,638 mA  1,90124   67,36%
8,08V  0,493 mA  3,9834 W   3,26 V  0,913 mA  2,97638   74,71%
