Hi All,
Basically the subj. Judging from my limited LED experience and nonexistent reflector/LED experience. Aren't reflectors more efficient than optics used currently? I guess it's not easy to build a reflector for something like Helios adapter, but for MMs it should be doable. Is it related to technical problems building reflectors or something else?
P.S. I just preordered Stramlight TL Luxeon, and that one does have a reflector and unless the data is incorrect it produces 35 lm. vs. 18 on most 1w leds I've seen so far. I understand it is partly related to LEDs, but I am assuming reflector is also an important factor, isn't it. That's only if the data(35lm) is correct /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
