Hi Everyone A question was asked earlier about the brightness of the firefly using an Alkaline or NiMH cell. First of all I need to mention that performance will vary greatly (big emphasis on greatly) depending on the internal resistance of your battery which limits how bright the firefly can get on turbo mode. That being said I measured the current draw of the head assembly with my power supply set at 1.4V: 0.01A > 0.07A > 0.32A > 3.3A. In terms of wattage that is 0.014W > 0.10W > 0.45W > 4.62W. From this you can estimate the run time on each mode as well assuming you are using a 2450mAh Eneloop cell your results should be 245h > 35h > 7.6h > 44 mins. I have tested the firefly mode with an eneloop cell and can confirm that it does last at least 9 days being constantly on. If your an ultra light sort of camper you could bring it along and should just need a single AA cell for a weekend trip if you lay off the turbo mode.
