Hey Guys,
Something interesting i found Opening up another M140. Up until now i just been putting the LEDs aside not unscrewing them because i dint think anything of it.
Until now.... Iam working on my next "Phlatlight" Build so i started to unsrew the LED from the projector and seen that the LED emitter has Changed to a Much Smaller Size compared to the ones found in the A140. It seems to be like this in all my M140 projectors. When Running both the Red Phlatlight LED's from the A140 and M140 in Series they appear Equal in brightness.
What does this mean. Well a Little better throw. I Dough its anything Drastic but its something which is an Improvement. SO it doesn't hurt. Iam not sure if anything is different between the Older A140 Phlatlight Red LEDs and the New ones in the M140 other then the Emitter size but Ive hit the new one out of the M140 with the exact same currant as the Older ones that where in the A140 and they take the same 12A Just fine.
"Please note i would not go past 9A if you dont want to risk killing you LED"
Just to be clear the older PT54 Red Phlatlight in the A140 was able to take 12A no Problem and has a larger emitter size. This is what the Max Output i have my Tri Phlatlight build Running at and i use it quit a bit.

These New PT54 Red Phlatlight LEDs that are now in the M140 also Can take the 12A No problem so far and they are equal in brightness to my eye. If I had a Supply that actually can run them Higher then 12A I would Push it to its breaking Point to see where its at but i dont have one.
My best guess is that they just improved the Emitter size and still maintain the Same Amp's Vs Brightness as the Older ones that where found in the A140 with the larger Emitters.
However could it be possible that these are the ones that can take Higher Amperage and put out more lumen's.? That is what iam most curious about.
I took a few Photos so you guys can see the difference....

Regardless though the PT-54 can take 13-14A CW.
