I posted output/lux numbers above for nimh. Unless you're looking for runtime figures, which I haven't done...
Yeah, sorry, seemed logical for me to assume that with battery numbers only battery life time should be associated :D!
Im interested in battery runtime :)!
The lumen ratings are fairly close, so you can estimate your run time from the draws and run times posted above. I see some draw/resistance variance even among Eneloops from the same pack, so the specific battery capacity and resistance you use will have something do do with your own run time.
I think youre talking about Ti that Ezarc posted about?
Because there is no data on how much power T10 draws in this thread
Correct. But my point was if the specs test roughly correct as Match showed then go back to T10 specs in the same manner.
High (1.5hrs) -> Low (39hrs ) -> firefly (147hours)
The T10 is literally a prize I always have with me - the low is very useful as my primary mode. Were I shopping today I’d also look at the L10 that L3 has been selling.
@veer - I did a quick test with my cheap DMM to see what the current draws were. Also understand I had to use a paperclip so things might vary a bit. I’ll add this info to my original review too.
On a semi-used gen 2 eneloop at 1.353 V open
Moonlight - 35.5 mA
Low - 178 mA (I got measurements anywhere from 176-180)
High - 2.23 A
Thanks!
Seems way less battery life on firefly and low modes than advertised, they used 2500mAh AA battery for their tests, however your data suggests that its 3-4 times less runtime on these two modes or am I missing something here?
I’d probably trust their runtime specs pretty well, mainly because their lumen values are almost spot on with Match’s numbers like GZ said. I will have to run mine down sometime, but I haven’t yet. My draw measurements probably are flawed since there’s the effects of a cheap DMM (and the crappy included leads), and random point contact and resistance of a paperclip vs. the whole current path when the body is screwed on.
I did not realise it worked worth 14500s so I whacked some in it tonight. A very impressive little light like that.
I’m also doing a quick run time test with a hybrio batter. Started it at 8:05 and it’s been going strong for 25mins - rather toasty warm now. I’ll try to remember to check on it later
Pretty much lasted an hour then dropped to a lower mode. I flicked it off and on to see if could trick it into high again but it’s no go. Battery is too flat for anything now.
