2D Mag5761-3D Mag85

[jugg2]

Does anybody know the bulb and torch lumens of these two hotwires? I know the 5761 in a MagCharger at 6V is 497 torch lumens, but what is it at 7.2V? Also, what are the runtimes of these two lights? I would do a search, but the search feature does not want to cooperate with me tonight.

Not to sure about runtimes Sorry

Let me edit my post and link to my destructive testing thread update about this here.

Thanks guys! With some basic math I got some rough figures on runtime. Please correct me if i'm wrong: the 5761 at 7.2V is slightly brighter than the 1185 at 10.8V. The runtime for the 5761 at 7.2V should be just over 20 minutes, and runtime for the 1185 at 10.8V should be around 30-35 minutes. Also torch lumens of the 5761 at 7.2V would be around 900ish? WOW!

Thanks Lux, I guess the answer to my initial questions is, both lights are very close in brightness. And the Mag85 will run a little longer. Thanks a lot!

At first I was going to build both lights, but to keep costs down I'm just going with the 5761 and 24 Eneloops so I can have plenty of backup runtime vs another light all together.
