I'm not a builder, but I'd like to understand thermal limitations as a design constraint in something tiny like a light weight aluminum body AA headlamp.
I do understand that about 500 lm in a AA lamp builds a lot of heat and if there is thermal regulation, it ramps the output down.
I know you get a lot of heat when you lower the tint temperature, and max outputs tend to be substantially lower than in neutral and cool white. When you combine 93-95 high CRI with a low tint, do those have a synergistic effect on heat build up? It seems to me the more you introduce or enhance longer wavelengths of visible light, the more heat you get compared to the same boost in higher frequencies of light, is that correct?
Any insights in this regard would be appreciated.
