Hi:
This one is tempting me:
Battery Junction: "SPECIAL EDITION LumaPower LumaHunter MRV DIGITAL Tactical LED flashlight w/ Cree Q5 WC 265 + lumens!"
But it says it drives the LED at 1.1A. The Cree datasheet says the max is 1.0A. I don't like the idea of a design overdriving a part. That's a big no-no in my field of EE. Any thoughts on this? It's also risky since the LED would need effectively ideal thermal management at that level of drive, which is unlikely in a flashlight.
How do people feel is the reliability of Lumapower lights? I have one at work, but hardly ever use it. It works when I turn it on though.
I want a thrower for my car.
