Excellent job HKJ! This will be a good place to point folks who are wondering which AAA light they should get.
This info is from the AA batteries, not AAA.[SIZE=+3][/SIZE]These batteries exist in two version, a regular with high capacity (2500+ mAh) and a low discharge type (usual about 2000 mAh)
Great introduction to AAA lights.
But, you should correct this:
This info is from the AA batteries, not AAA.
You should also try the LD01 on 10440, It will be the brightest
Can you tell me how does the L2FX compare to the LD01 on max with nimh? and li-ion?
1000mah draw from a AAA is amazing...
Hopefully, when the LF2XT comes out in May, you will review and add that to your current selection of AAA lights.
Great roundup of AAA lights. I noticed you have a current draw which is good, but is there a further run-time test for each planned for the future? I already own the LiteFlux LF2 so I am confident it is the run-time champ out of the bunch you have there, but it would be great to see a rudimentary run-time chart like Selfbuilt uses.
I know, but I prefer to stay within specification for the lights.
GREAT WORK HKJ!
Do you mind telling me the following - please, it's hard to tell from the beamshots given white-balance effects and uneven background etc.:
Amongst the outputs of the 5 or 3mm based lights, which is
I'm especially intrigues by the new 5-die LEDs that PhotonFanatic has started using, but they don't appear to have a name!
- "whitest" (least blue/purple)?
- smoothest (fewest artifacts)?
- broadest / "floodiest"?
Thanks a lot! :twothumbs
