Hi guys, I wanted to upgrade my qlite driver and since I'm not familiar with these options I have a couple questions:

Which these driver will give me the highest output?

Is there an advantage to the dragon over the H17F, other than the secondary color?

Thanks so much!

The Dragon is programmable amongst a set number of predetermined mode groups, but has secondary emitter as you said. The H17f is programmable to a far higher degree. I find I don't use my secondary emitter on my one Dragon. Either will give hand blistering output for a couple of minutes if you really want it, not sure there's a true visual difference between the two. YMMV.

The only + of the Dragon is the secondary LED and I´d rather choose the Lux-RC driver than the dragon if I wanted a secondary. The H17F is way more versatile than the dragon and way more adaptable to your personal preferences. I´d choose a H17F over a dragon anyday.
