it is winter here, Australia is warmer then some other places but i have not done full bore runs in summer yet as its not summer yet, a 2400 mAh battery should be able to give 2.4 amps for an hour in theory, so at 1.7 amps 85 mins is about the maxium run time before it drops out of regulation and the light will dim's.
85 mins timmed on my iphone while bush walking with the TR-1200 on high is as far as ive pushed mine, with 3 x 18650 the current draw is lower so run time should be longer but ive never pushed my past 85 mins as thats a bit extreme on high.
its warming up here and ill try long run test while bush walking on warm summer nights and see if i fry the driver but sofar its a great torch, i have seen some specials for them on here but they are cheap 2 x 18650 versions with plastic lens lols
i would like to try the HA3 model, but ill wait till this one is totaly worn out as my wife brought it for me, it turned out to be one of the best buy,s
Hahaha true flashaholic reasoning..! :D Where did you score your T40CS for $96...? The ONLY thing that even slightly puts me off of the Sunwayman is the "dark ring" around the hotspot as seen below.

I also have a Fannyfire STL-V6 (Sky Ray STL-V2) and it’s a budget xml led value.
My single die emitter green led PT120 aspherical 4D 10,000ma powered Mag build is my best thower @ 4000+ lumen.
