Now I have a use for my Sofirn C01R and that H25LR headlamp with 670nm LED's. Cool. 3 minute exposure to 670nm light in the morning apparently improves color perception for the rest of the week. I'll read more closely to find the right intensity and so on.

I think mW/m^2 at 1 meter per mW should be very close to cd/lm (lm/m^2 at 1 meter per lm) for a white SST20 in the same optic. Output for an SST20-DR is a bit more than 1mW/mA drive current.

A Convoy S2+/SST20-DR on high should deliver about 30000 mW/m^2 from a distance of 1 meter on high, based on its reflector delivering about 10 cd/lm with a white SST20. Divided by 10000 cm^2 / m^2, we get 3 mW/cm^2. Half a meter would get you 12, which is a little more than the 8 used in the study.

The C01R, you'd probably have to stick in your eye. Please note this comment is not medical advice. Somebody check my guesses and math here, please.
