Its not a typo,read the thread!I think it's a typo. Gotta get an led version. Sweet. I still have a goo place in my collection and heart for maglite.

Interesting !
Wonder what the Current Draw is on this.
Won't even last 3 Hours on a pair of C alkalines !
:shakehead

I did the test,read above?The specs just state run time on high. There is no info that I caught saying what happens at the end of the 2 hours. It doesn't strike me as the type of light that would be regulated and cut off but I think someone is going to have do a run time test to get the info we want. You make a sacrifice with a single level light,run times are going to be commensurate with the output of the light.I was looking for other lights to compare this too but there aren't that many 2C LED lights,a lot of them are 3 cell.
I did the test,read above?
The light runs and dims until about dead and at under 3 hours is about 1/10 the original output.
This is just my eyeball guesstimate of the level but this one just does not have the battery life that I hoped it could.
There appears to be no electronics in it all and I assume it is direct drive simple?
It is a nice light and I love the size and heft but they did not do much to complete the package to my tastes and give it the kind of runtime the 2 bigger cells could provide and then it would have been a pretty amazing light for me.

Correct fron what I understand this is a direct drive with no step down etx. Therefore I think its a true 2 hours of 177 lumens.
Unlikely how?2 hrs using alkaline Cs, regardless of the circuit, seems very unlikely.
Unlikely how?
I tried it and thats what it did.
I just got a Mini Mag Pro that does 2.5 hours at higher rated output?
They had to try to make one with this bad of a runtime!
Thanks AVService and bykfixer for taking the time to test and post results. Based on price, I may still pick up a couple to give my 25+ year old AA some company. I don't typically use my lights for long periods of time, so a set of batteries will last a while, although I admit it's a bit disappointing from an efficiency standpoint.
Based on what I've been buying lately, that would be an improvement! Lol. I've picked up 3 Surefire 6P's and 2 C2's over the last few weeks (missed out on them before the flashlight bug really hit me). At least one 6P will remain stock with its 1 hour runtime."what's the run time?"....2 hours
I wonder if the slug from the Mini pro would swap into the C, that would make a much more interesting light.This would be so much more exciting if they'd just given it the same circuit as the MiniMag PRO, you'd think that would've been easier..
Wow, that's bad! :O

But 18 hrs for the three cell is pretty decent for direct drive with no step down
