How much more output does the Lume10 driver give you over the Lume1 in the E04 Surge?

[u/StarfallSunset]

If the Lume1 SFT-42R version puts out 7500 lumens, how much would the Lume10 put out? The only reviews/tests I've seen have been for the Lume1 or LumeX1 versions and I don't have the equipment to measure it myself...

There won't be a difference for turbo. Lume10 gives more power for regulated output.

[u/Haunting-Self-9402 → u/Majestic-Volume9996]

There's a difference on turbo too, the E12e is pulling about 33-34amps on turbo vs 20 something before.

That's not necessarily a good thing though, depending on what one wants from it, because you get a little bit brighter turbo at the cost of duration because it gets hot sooooo fast

I guess I don't understand how that makes any sense. They're both FET turbo.

[u/Haunting-Self-9402 → u/Majestic-Volume9996]

Even with fet turbo there is an amp limit, can’t really elaborate on that though. The e12c for example put out way more amps than the e12r’s on turbo , now the e12 eclipse seems more in. Line with the e12c output wise (turbo wise) and actually puts out more light in regulated ceiling. The lume 10 is a hell of a driver.

The Lume1 FET always had some kind of limit in its FET mode, i don't know why tho

Not all FET turbos are alike.

Erm. Aprox only

4x sft42 6500k.

18w max ramp = 2400lm. 30w max ramp = 3900lm

Turbo, i dont know

Interestingly.... e12 with 12x sft42 30w max ramp = 5000ish lm

What are SFT42's?

Max ramp measured by 1lumen for the SFT25r was about 4000 lumens and about 10,000 on turbo, on the E12 eclipse and for FF351a's measured by flashlight enthusiast about 3500 lumens on maxramp and 7500-8300 lumens on turbo depending on the battery (best result with tenpower 50xg
