The Fenix E01 seems to be a reliable 11 lumens
AFAIK the Preon 2 with new alkalines on high is 160 lumens - this is my only calibration point at present.

Thanks for your continued hard work Don! I made a copy of that list into word to keep as reference. I hope you don't mind. Thank again Don!
Feel free. Anyone can use any of my stuff for any non-commercial purpose
@Don - thanks a lot! That info at least doubles the usefulness of the chart for me :)
Where I have them, I'll try to link to runtime graphs which give the same sort of information but over a longer period.
A lumen/lux table with links to details (reviews?) = pure awesomeness.
Thanks again for what you do :D
That's the plan.
However, have you looked at the inline HTML editor? Try it on data from a table of any size. Better still, don't.
I'm probably going to have to build the table in an external application.
Then I can put in links to my heart's desire.
This is going to take some time.
I've been looking around and I have a lot of reviews I need to finish....
But I do plan to link to good reviews regardless of who did them. This will require a bit of thought and design to prevent the result being an unreadable mess.
Then maybe use Google Docs?
Example with one hyperlink just to prove it's working:
You also gain the nice ability to sort by name/lumen/whatever.
Looks like a very worthwhile place to investigate. Ultimately, what I want to do is a website in a table. How far that is possible within the time I have available is another matter.
But if Google Docs prevents me having to fight with M$ Office bugs then it's OK with me. I detest Microsoft software - I have spent too much time fighting it to do what i want. In a Word (95/97/2003) document it is not possible to embed more than 31 live spreadsheets. It will let you embed more than that, but the document will never open again. Got bitten by that one for the woman I love's thesis. The time to find this out is certainly not two days before the deadline when the data was still trickling in.
I will investigate Google Docs. I can do all of this in Excel (spit!) but not as live HTML. Pity I completely loathe Google and prefer not to use their products at all. Frankly, I'd rather use Microsoft than Google. And that is from someone who has been using Macs since 1989 and various Unix variants since about the same time.
Just don't ask me to use Solaris! (Slowlaris!) Despite owning a couple of Sun boxes.
However, exporting a spreadsheet of numbers to them is unlikely to leak data I'd rather it didn't. And by the time I've finished cleaning the data....
Unfortunately - I have a strange feeling that you will find more bugs in beta GDocs than in stationary Word/Excel...
Its main strength is mobility, not functionality. But still very useful in some cases.
You are right about Google - it's everywhere.
Photos? Picasa. Docs? GDocs. Search engine? Hmmmm... Bing? ;)
Still, there are some exceptions... I do not have Google in my phone (Windows Mobile > Android) and browser (Firefox > Chrome).
Anyway - it was just a hint :)
Hugsby P32 low NiMH and the showerhead on 3 8,000mAh D cells. I'll also run the showerhead on 6Ds but that will take a while. Runtime for the showerhead going now - I expect about 7 hours.

The Trustfire Z1 gets hot on high. Nothing intolerable at two minutes but feels like it is going to get hotter. Will investigate in due course.
Hi Don
i take it the showerhead is the Fusion 36
if it is there is a noticable jump in output on the ceiling bounce test when it is fed 7.2v and over but it dose not like beeing over driven past 9v as recomended by the manufacturer
i ran one on 3 x 18500s = 12.20v all in the name of science you understand oh and i wanted to see how long it would last the regulater circit burnt out after 2 hours but it was giving my terralux M300 a run for its money
You got it, just couldn't remember the official name when I was typing it into the spreadsheet.
I'm like you Don i detest office but have it just to open certain files.. I do like the Apple version of Excel (numbers) it's much nicer to use. I even prefer Claris works to Office lol
Numbers have changed for some lights as I've used a more rigorous battery regime. Each test is done with cells fresh from the charger.

This invalidates all of my lumen estimates. Even if we say the Preon 2 on alkalines is 160 lumens at switch on the numbers change quite a bit. The first table is the numbers using the previous assumptions.

Since my dividing factor is now 892 (at best) instead of 720 I'll do a new post with new numbers. The numbers in this table feel too high anyway so a downscaling will likely get it into more sensible territory.
There are a couple of notes at the bottom:

* - An ancient alkaline. Will restest with a brand new one. The cell in there is at least 3 years old.
** - battery on light meter gave out. Will redo the test.
*** - Pulled off keyring to test. Needs to be retested with a fresh cell. I think it is the same one the light came with.
**** - Pulled out of office desk drawer. There's a theme here - I think I need to buy a big box of AAA alkalines.
***** - At some point I will go through the multiplicity of modes this one has. Don't hold your breath.
6* - I'd not trust the two minute reading too much - I was using protected 10440s and the protection kept kicking in - need to test this with a good unprotected 10440.
7* - This still feels too high to me - I guess around 280
8* - Need to do this with the 8,000mAh NiMH Ds which seem to have lower internal resistance.
9* - This one is usually said to be around 350-370 lumens but that may just be that the cells in it were at 4.2V
There are several lights in here to be retested. Must get around to building balancing harnesses so I can charge more lithium cells at a time. That way I can pull cells from the charger and guarantee uniform performance unless I have a dud cell. See my comments on the R5-A3 for the startling effects a dud cell can cause.
Will promote this table to the first post once I've filled it out a bit.
