Re: 742 Torch Lumens! NEOFAB Legion II UPDATED.
One thing about any switching circuit is that it will reduce efficiency whether its due to extra mosfet resistance (yes, however small its there) or holding current for a relay.
One thing that makes me wonder is why was PWM not employed for the lower brightness levels? Yeah, I know some people complain about flicker, but it would still be better than nothing.
And yes, I would have liked to have seen an all encompassing light - would have been great for outdoor trips when you want to minimize baggage.
I think you could incorporate some battery management and allow the battery structure to switch between 3S for higher output to 3P for longer runtime. Be that a mechanical or solid state switch.
