How many lumens could we expect from a Fenix LO-Cree?

tron3 · Dec 28, 2006

Current LOx models top off at 30 lumens, and the LO-Ti at 40 lumens.

Using the L1D-CE as a basis, could we expect 60 to 80 lumens from a single AAA light?

If that is the case, I might go back to one EDC. :grin2:

With a P3 bin the output estimates go as follows depending on Vf and other factors:

3/4 watt ~45-60 lumens
1 watt ~60-75 lumens
1.25 watt ~75-85 lumens
1.5 watt ~85-95 lumens

With the Q3 bin the output estimates go as follows depending on Vf and other factors:

3/4 watt ~65-80 lumens
1 watt ~80-95 lumens
1.25 watt ~95-105 lumens
1.5 watt ~105-115 lumens

Remember that the Cree LED is a bit bigger around. They would likely have to make the head bigger or have less reflector or both on an L0D-CE. The standard emitter barely fits into the L1 size body. So while an L1D-CE is probably right around the corner (temporally speaking) an L0D-CE is going to take more effort to design and manufacture. Still, if they do one, yeah, I would expect twice the lumens on max :grin2:
