Care to show a runtime of the Draco with the regulated 350mA output?

Or any DRACO runtimes.




Thanks

Anybody?

I have a Draco with a Cree Q5. I get 20 min. on burst before the light dims. Level 5 is good for most indoor tasks, but, I have not timed it yet.

I have one of the Cree Dracos, on burst I get about 22 minutes before I can really tell the light is diming drastically. If you need more run time on at that light output level, get the extension tube. Just be prepared for how warm the light will get.

I agree that using a lower level will get you more run time with plenty of light out the front.

I don't have one of the new Q5s in mine but I do plan to upgrade soon.

Thanks for the responses guys!

I would like to see a discharge graph with the 350mA CC driver.

Also, anybody have the aaa tube?

thanks again, hopefully I'm not asking too much

There are a lot of threads regarding this light. It's hard to wade through them. What I would like to see are some comparison beam shots to other popular small EDCs. Can anyone post some or direct me to existing ones.

Thanks in advance.

here are chevrofreaks runtimes of a luxIII/flupic draco. the cree version should have similar runtimes with much more light.

I can whole-heartedly endorse the flupic draco/drake. multiple levels makes it very useful. an essential light.

here are some shots that might help olrac

Thanks a lot pumaman, that's exactly what i was looking for. Man that Draco is something else! :huh:

Thanks Pumaman.

Level 5 seems great.

AAA Draco, here I come!

Are they readily available or is there a long lead time from order?
