WA1185 - How many Bulb Lumens?

I used to know this figure but I can't recall it. Anyone?

Brightnotm

Each set up has different total resistance in tail cap, switch, batteries, holders and ... So everybody has different results.
Measure voltage at bulb pins while power on and find out bulb lumens by entering here.
At 10.56 volt bulb lumens is 1140

Don't forget eye protection and every other precaution during this test.
 
MrGman tested the WA1185 in my M6 running 3 AW 17670's.

1050ish out the front, but 850sih after 3 minutes....

Edit: MrGman is not ready to update his lumens thread yet, but he told me soon.....

Wow, best thread ever. I just got three very useful hints out of it.

Any way to calculate the curve/rate of decline using 3x 18650s? (2200mAh PILAs) I'm thinking in terms of fivemega's Megellenium.

I have no idea. MrGman did test a P60 P7 drop-in with 3 battery configurations and the out the front lumens went up as the bigger cells were used. This makes me think that if I had a Mag85 running off "D" NiMH Titanium cells I would get less drop in output and possibly more lumens out the front too.

I really like the form fit factor of the M6 w/ WA1185, but with only 3 17670's it makes we think... I do have the 2 IMR C cells to try in it, but thats not enough voltage.:candle:
