First, what kind of life are we getting from a Q5 at 1.2A in the dereelight modules? I don't expect it's '100,000 hours lifetime bulb' because the current is so high, but a few thousand hours wouldn't be unexpected.
What if we drove our LED's like we drive some of our incans. Expecting 50-100 hours of life (or less if you're really insane..) but driving a Q5 to 2-3A or more. It ought to produce some fairly serious light. I know that efficiency drops with increased drive current and instaflashes are possible but I'm curious anyway. I'm thinking P60 modules because of the replaceability factor. I'd love to have a 'freaking insane' module, and a spare 'standard' dereelight module for my CL1H.
