I have an old MXDL "Luxeon" torch.
The 1w "Luxeon" led has burnt out / stopped working.
I've just replaced this with a SMJLED BiPin led, seems to work very well, very bright.
At 3.6v, initial current= 165ma
Doesn't appear to run hot. At 30 mins in, it is slightly warm to touch only.
Output, measured, focussed beam, equivalent to L2P, brighter than L1P.
I'm obviously overdriving the SMJLED a bit, anyone else done this, expected SMJLED life ?
RT on nimh 900mah should be pretty good.
