... I was trying to build a case that for this scenario you don't need a lot of brightness or run time ( I think I had said 25 lumens for 8 hours )
Great point, One time and ONE time only, I left my candle lantern at home to cut half a pound but using leds around camp at night is truly an artificial and unpleasant experience IMHO. The color balance of an incan is a beauty to behold although I have yet to use a Rebel led or one of the better balanced leds similar to the warm Malkoff and or Jetbeam, I have really started to fall back in love with my incans. Although it is a little heavier, I mnay prefer my E2d with the MNO2 bulb which to my eye is almost as bright as my 6P. I am still waiting to get a MNO1 for my Lego E1e but I think that I would prefer the throw of the E2d with it's convex lens, or throw that head on my E1e.Take an E1e..... and have plenty of extra batteries (they are light!)
BEFORE you actually go, just go into dark AND wet woods to see how bad a LED-based light actually is under these circumstances. Only when you have seen that black & white world a LED gives you, take out any decent incan, switch it on and.... WHOOWW!! NOW I can see what COLOR that tree has.... it isn't black at all, it's dark brown.... and the grass is green now!
Try it... and I'm sure even the most hardcore LED-supporter will (re)turn to an incan then
