Redo test and ranking for final brightness percentage from a Turbo run-down, using ceiling bounce test. Please skip this if you’ve seen it in my other Convoy thread - allow me to double post since I think it’s interesting and don’t want future readers to miss it lol.

Convoy still on top, and 60° C limit didn’t help Anduril lights much. Please note these are small Anduril lights; I don’t have similar larger lights with larger thermal mass. Well the Wurkkos TS30S does have larger thermal mass, but it has that crazy SBT90.2 LED.

I plan to edit/update this list if/when I buy more lights since IMHO it’s such an important parameter for a walk light, where lights are on for long duration. Please note this is a “home test” and values may change if I repeat any test when I’m less lazy :slight_smile: and find errors. As always, hope this helps.
