What Ma Does the KL1 Head run??

[DaFABRICATA]

What is the current running to the KL1 Head (newer one)
350Ma?
450Ma?
Anyone know?

 

[BBL]

The newer KL1 (spot beam) afaik runs at 550mA.
The newest (not yet released, cree) has the same output, so forward current should be much lower, maybe 250mA.

In my experience, older KL1 is 350mA and newer one is 500mA with one CR123A.

How about on two cells?

"New style KL1 bezel; measures 1,140,000mcd at a current draw of 632mA"

I'm assuming thats with 2 cells
