After reading another post here http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=201171
I am starting to wonder about a few of my lights and whether or not they were worth getting. Do 5mm LEDs only have a lifespan of about 6 hours of use? I always thought that lower powered LEDs would last longer than the higher powered ones, because they aren't being forced to do as much. I have a couple of minimag AAs with the nite-ize module from Walmart and like that they have been reviewed to be able to last about 11 hours on a set of alkalines. I assume these modules use 5mm LEDs. Correct me if I'm wrong about that. But should I only expect about 6 hours of total life from these things???
