I have plenty of nice 1W and 3W Luxeon lights. But today when I did my dark room test (One Step: Shine it into a dark room), I noticed my 60 lumens stock Surefire E2E incandescent was quite bright. Brighter than my LED's in fact. Sure it was an ugly yellow color but you can't doubt the brightness.
With that said, how bright can a Surefire or something that size get? I want to get as bright as I can with respectable runtime. Now, I am not that familiar with what expected runtimes are, so you tell me what is considered good. Of course I'd prefer 1-2 hours but I don't think that's possible with anything over 60 lumens right?
In addition to that question, which light(s) would you guys recommend that would achieve my goal?
Thanks in advance.
