Hi there, I tried looking on the Shoppe website but it only has efficiancies for some and then just in general. I made a quick Excel chart that can calculate the current draw at different voltages as well as needed resistance depending on LED voltage, battery voltage, etc. and one of the options of for converter efficiency, and since I primarily use converters from the Shoppe I was wondering if anybody could post some values for the various converters at a few different voltages? Thanks! BTW Here is the link if anybody is interested in checking out the chart. I found it really helpful for questions like whether a Lux III would be better powered by a stepup with NiMH or with LiIon and a stepdown.
