I was interested in, but never read any posts on useing rechargeables in the Light Cannon. If anyone tried it, I'ld be interesed to hear the results. What kind of "real world" run time out of alkalines? TX<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I seem to get around 2 to 3 hours out of a set of name brands. I rarely run it much longer than 30 minutes or so at a time - the time it takes me to get from the local watering hole or baseball park to home. Figure I can make 4 to 6 such trips on a set of batteries before it takes a nosedive and becomes too dim to use as a headlight.
The next night game I go to it will get used; and it will probably get a long runtime on the 4th of July when I make the nearly hour long trip to the park to watch the local fireworks show, and then make the return trip home afterward.
Then again, with Osama Butthole Laden's douche crew threatening to bomb fireworks shows and other large 4th of July gatherings (our show attracts 350,000 people to an area small enough that a "suitcase nuke", a tomahawk, or a perfume bottle full of bio-crap could wipe out 100%), I may end up just staying home and watching it on TV this year, and hope there's a south or southwest airflow that night. :[
