Evening all!

Is there a general rule that the strobe/flash mode on a flashlight will have a longer run time than the steady modes? For example - a Cree XPG LED flashlight with a listed lumens of 200 running on 3 AAA's; 2 modes low and high and an SOS strobe. Run time listed on high = 1 hr; low mode = 4 hours; no listing for the strobe. What could be a reasonable expected run time on strobe mode?

Thanks!!
