maybe is the same thing that has happend to me!cmacclel said:I received 3 packs of ROP lamps with the High lamps dead out of the package. Even if the battery's can't drive the lamp at it's full potential it should still light.

and rop HIGH?
cdosrun said:From a little searching, the 3854-Hi lamp takes 4.3A and turns out around 1150 b-lumens.
The low lamp in the same thread was measured at 2.2A (at 7.2v). Assuming a linear relationship between lumens and current, the 3854-Lo turns out around 588 b-lumens. Around 65% of the lumens will be coming out the front of the torch, so you are probably looking at about 382 torch lumens (roughly half that of the Hi lamp). By the same calculation the Mag85 at 10.8v turns out around 800 torch lumens.
I think it is correct, but please feel free to highlight some errors.
