I measured my Cree'd Elly at around 60 lumens, slightly different from kai's new version (53 lumens).
My Elly original lumens are the same as kai's (20 lumens).
I used 2,000mah nimh, kai used 2,700mah nimh.
I achieved flatter, longer RT. Virtually flat for 90 mins, then dipping.
Not the gradual decline shown in Kai's graph.
Perhaps there is an electronics, or Cree difference.
I found my Cree mod using DX parts gave a brighter, longer, more consistent output.
That makes me feel better about having spent a little more (+£2.50) and doing the mod myself.
