Runtime Update .. Please Press "Ctrl + F5" on keyboard to get the updated Runtime chart
Alkaline 1: I have used an OLD USED AAA Battery (taken out from DX's 30 mW Laser) to do this runtime as I didn't have any new AAA cells. Runtime on depleted alkaline is about 36 minutes till 50%
NiMH: The La Crosse 700 mAH battery was charged on the La Crosse BC900, given rest for 2 hours and then put up on Extreme Tech Hyper Efficient Very Special Runtime Rig :duh2:. Runtime on NiMH is about 51 minutes till 50%
Alkaline 2: I have used New Energizer AAA Max ..Runtime is about 25 minutes till 50%, sounds kinda low, but then again current draw is about 600 mA.
Alkaline 2 Re: I have used Same Energizer AAA Max from the above test after about 2 hours of rest ..Runtime is about 15 minutes till 50%. Notice that the light runs in regulation for all battery types.
I plan to do the runtime again from the Alkaline 2 Re stage...I have just noticed that light is still bright after rest of 10 minutes. This time, I would like to give it rest for 8 hours. Lets see how far the AAA cell recovers.

Alkaline 2 Re Re: I have used Same Energizer AAA Max from the above test after about 8 hours of rest ..Runtime is about 14 minutes till 50%. Again you will see that the light runs in regulation even for highly depleted battery. what this means that under practical conditions, you should be able to get atleast an hour or so of combined runtime with Alkaline AAA Battery.
It should be noted that during practical use, it would be on exceptional occasions that you would be using light for hours at a stretch. And if Alkaline battery is given time to recover, it would be safe to say that combined runtime would last more than an hour or so with decent regulation. The above runtime chart just proves the same.

Just Posted review of LiteFlux LF2 Cree XR-E Version, a comparison and differences between the SSC P4 counterpart have been highlighted.
Runtime for Cree XR-E version of LiteFlux LF2 is very similar.
