@Kacey

decided to buy some extras as attached Preety impressed seeing how cheap they are…

Is there any way to attach these without using the 3M? I wish it were possible with a cable tie method.

Have a look here

Where to mount Strobon CREE lights on a Mavic 2?

I’ve got some really strong Velcro that I use to use for mounting signs with. It needs my little Morrison’s key fob card to slide in-between to take them off & stick them inside my kit bag for storage. Also means I can charge them easily too (I can’t recall the 3M series number but a good sign writers would likely have the strong stuff & easily as good as dual lock) I’ve seen someone using rubber bands successfully too.

I’m using both Cree and other lights. I use 3m velcro to attach on back of battery flap…

@dulcificum

Yes, precisely, that’s for the CREEs not the one Kacey is using.

Does anyone know what the lumen figure is for these?

I looked on the Flytron website but couldn’t see anything listed in the specs.

The CREEs that Flytron use? They are the Xlamp XP-E (I asked them ):

There is a newer version of this range, the XP-E2, which apparently delivers up to 20% more lumens-per-watt (lm/W) and about half the price compared to the original XP-E LED.

https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/displays-optoelectronics/leds-led-accessories/leds/?searchTerm=Cree%20XLamp%20XP-E2&sort-by=Luminous%20Flux&sort-order=desc&pn=1

I noticed that the majority of XP-E uses a green substrate (base), whereas the newer XP-E2 use a white substrate.

The quoted Luminous Flux values are lumens per watt I believe. So a value of 191 @ 3000mW would be 573 lumens. Again, this is my understanding. I could be wrong. Regardless, I bought both … and was promptly blinded by both

OMG.
Mine just arrived.
I know “everyone” has said don’t look at them, but you know the score.
Can they really be that bright?

Yep, now I have white dots everywhere I look.
Doh…!
