Just out of curiosity, what would a typical run time be for a typical 2 or 3 D cell incandescent light? Rough estimate of lumens? I'm just trying to gauge the lights I grew up with vs the LED lights available today.
Wow! That's a sad looking graph. Thanks for posting it.

typically LED lights can put out the same amount of lumens for 5-10 times as long and even have useful but dim output for even longer. I remember a minimag clone I had (brinkman) that ran about 2 hours or so before it started to dim too much off 2AAs.... I bought a cheap $1.50 rayovac light with an LED pr base dropin that is rated at 20 hours off 2AAs with I think more output but not as nice a beam.Just out of curiosity, what would a typical run time be for a typical 2 or 3 D cell incandescent light?

I just miss the cheap old box lanterns that took the 6v lantern batteries. There was just something so convenient about that form factor.
"Convenient" isn't the first word that comes to mind when I think of 6V lanterns/batteries, but a lot of those old spotlights use standard PR-base bulbs, so they'll accept some of the modest output Mag LED bulb-style drop-ins
