Howdy,
its been a while since i bought a new flashlight, i pretty much just buy Fenix lights. that said i was disappointed after picking up a HP30R, my last purchase was a ld22 from 5 years ago.
Now i am seeing these lights all thermally lower there power level after just minutes of use, yet show run times in hours. how is anyone suppose to know how long a light will run at the lumens i need for the entire time? it was very hard trying to figure which light is an actually improvement if they all lower there lumens after only a couple minutes. maybe i am a weird guy but sometimes i run my entire battery pack dead without every turning the light off.
anyone else feel like the charts are kind of useless now for runtimes in the high or turbo lines.
looking at the lanterns by fenix the cl20r has better run times then the cl25r, yet has half the size battery. it makes it very very hard.
