Understanding the actual wattage of LED (LM301H)
200mA is absolute maximum current, which is just what it sounds like (steady state; pulsed current is higher).  All their testing data is 65mA, which looks like their &quot;recommended&quot; operating current, although they don't have a separate table for recommended operating conditions.  CRI data, binning, etc is also done at 65mA so they're saying that if you want the specs off the datasheet, run them at that current.
