CR123 continuous vs intermittant battery life.

[tpcollins]

The battery life for my Eagletac T10C2 is listed as 12.2 hrs to 50% on the low setting. I assume thats 12.2 hrs with the light left on continuously.

What happens at 50% - really dim or it shuts off?

If my light is on for 15 minutes at a time to go to my treestand in the morning will I only get 48-49 trips (12.2 x 4) or since the drain would be in short 15 minute usages, will I get more than 48-49 trips? Thanks.

You will get less runtime in intermittent usage when a high drive level is engaged. This is due to the heat of the running system being good for a batteries's energy discharge.

On low levels ... I don't know.
