ROP HI won't make it. Low might, but may not be 500lm. Also, we're in the LED forum.
How is my costco HID? It's got ~3000lumens and about 2 hours runtime.
My CC has got ~5700 lumens, and will get ~90 mins with my current battery. But I'm expecting over 2 hours with my next battery.
Now now I'm not bragging(ok maybe a little) I just figured I'd throw it out there that the previous guys were thinking too small(most of us know how big the Costco HID is).
ROP Hi will get close, ~50 min @ 1000 Bulb lumens. ROP Low will get ~2 hours @ 500 bulb lumens.
Last I checked we're in the General Flashlight Discussion forum. Where are you?
36 minutes is really close to the theoretical 38 minute runtime provided by the AW C cells that can supply about [email protected]. A traditional 4D/SubC ROP high can run for about 45 minutes, while a 6D one using D NiMH should provide about 2 hours of runtime.
Since the OP has specified no limit to flashlight size, a 6D is probably about the cheapest way to get there (what with $9.99 aluminum reflectors and $3.07 for five glass lenses), and it exceeds both runtime and lumen requirements by a goodly amount.
Are you sure? :hahaha:The thread was moved AFTER you posted.
The thread was moved AFTER you posted. And you're on crack if you think you can get 50 minutes from a ROP Hi 2C. https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/168766 ....36 minutes.
I sense a great bias against incan/HID users and crack smokers in your posts!!!
