Back in the day before Henry went with the ridiculous(my opinion) 1 hour runtime on max setting - it used to be max brigntess for only 20 minutes. That was ok because HDS had 20 levels and one would usually use the lower setting, but the ability to have the absolute brightest level for the time was there if the need arose.
Why can't any manufacturers do the same?
Maybe I am part of the bygone era, but I keep waiting, especially in AA nimh factor. Would it not be cool to have 300+ lumens if needed from a cheap and safe single nimh, or having a 450+ lumes HDS level handy. To me having ability to run at max brightness with a shorter runtime like 20 minutes seems like a great compromise.
