Am I crazy for hoping one of the LED companies makes a high Lumen/candela round green emitter to make the most intense yet efficient LED ever? The green Osram LEDs just have extremely small LESs. They typically throw roughly 50% further and produce 50% more Lumens than an Identical White LED while using the same amount of energy.
17:20 _"I don't know why but the green emitter seems to be producing more light..."_ Green LEDs are more efficient per Watt, compared to traditional blue LEDs that rely on YAG phosphor coatings to convert blue light into white. Furthermore the human eye perceives green light to be much brighter than any other colour of the spectrum. Blue light fares worse from our retina's standpoint, which is the reason dark blue coloured light is less visible and fuzzy looking. Magenta and purple colours are the worst of all for illumination as our eyes are least sensitive to such light wavelengths. This is why green lasers are preferred for pointing at celestial objects in the sky at night, including irresponsible folks who misuse laser pointers to dazzle aircraft pilots and drivers in oncoming vehicles. I never needed a green flashlight until I watched one of Darren's videos! My first reaction was: "Crikey, did he really oversaturate his camera's color settings!" until I realised that the light was actually green!😁🔦👍
Green is good for hunting, as wild animals cannot see, or can see but do not disturbed by green colored light (surely domesticated ones too, but no one hunts domesticated ones, right?). I have no idea why is it like that, but that what I usually heard. Also green is right in the middle of the scale between the ultra violet and infra red range (blue and red, what we can see actually) what human eyes can detect. Red light has similar effect on animals, also, can preserve your night vision. Blue light is nothing but fancy, some says it is good for tracking bloodtrail, or detecting other body fluids (blood, urine, even semen for forensics for example). But I think UV light is also use for that.
I've seen a demo on YT how conventional white light on Turbo or strobe mode is effective to ward off menacing street dogs. It'll be interesting to know if green light works just as well on canines, if not better. 🙂
Thanks for sharing and uploading. Do you think it throws better with green cslnm1 5A and handles better with heat? Will you choose a buck driver over a linear driver? Thank you.
You can run the NM1.F1 higher than 5A. Maybe 8A+ according to tests on BLF (djozz). It will throw a little better. I think with the buck driver, it will run cooler for longer. But won't be as bright initially as the linear.
@DarrenYeoYT Thanks✌️ Looking forward to your review of the Brass S2+. I'm amazed how cool the SFT40 on high stays in the brass compared to the titanium. Curious if the copper or brass runs the coolest. Maybe you can test it. I don't have the copper.

Thanks for sharing mate, I'm sure a few others will find that info useful! Yeah, the green always seems to blow out my camera's sensor :D

Thank you for those insights mate. I only really use red LED lights around the house at night and also outside to preserve night vision.

@@DarrenYeoYT Thank you 🙏🏼
Have you tested the difference in the two green emitters CSLPM1.F1 vs CSLNM1.F1 ?
Yes I have, there's videos on here somewhere. I think search for my convoy S8 videos and you'll see.

is this better than the acebeam l17 green version?
It performs better. I measured 925m throw which is higher than L17. Here's the review I made: th-cam.com/video/FgUlGTLhSRw/w-d-xo.html
