yeah... cromagnet is right... you really can't compare a quad to an apex... or any single piece unit headlamp to a dual piece...
if the quad had the same 4 AA batteries that the apex has i bet you'd see somebetter regulated runtime
regardless.... since I love PT, I purchased a Quad... I wanted to get the super bright version before they switch to a lower high output setting... I'll be VERY interested to see how NiMH's regulates the LEDs on high...
If its anything like the EOS (which they have almost exact regulation patterns)... we'll see a nice increase in regulated high... it won't be insaine... but considering that the medium mode is inbetween the high and med settings of the eos.. and that lasts for 6 hours on alks... i bet i'll use medium almost all the time unless i need a lot of light all of a sudden...
its like anything... if you know the weaknesses of your system, you can plan and fix it
i'll be getting a review up once I get it in the mail, with runtime charts...
