Is that it draws 840 from the battery, or delivers 840 into the load. 1.5v to 3.6v with no batt voltage sag and no loss pullin 840mA would be delivering 350mA. keep in mind you have a MadMax+, I really doubt the HK cheapies have anything like that.
I am lucky, I have a HUGE discount store 25mins from me. I just got some aluminum 8LED flashlights for $6, a few months ago I got 100UV's from HK for $15 IIRC. Simple operation, remove the whites, install the UV, add 8 SMT resistors (limit to 25mA), voula, LOTSA UV.
Ebay post of UV light I modded with 8UV
Back on track... I have found when boosting (unless HIGH END), anything over 3 LEDs from 1 battery isnt going to give you much more, someone correct me if they have noticed otherwise. I persomally like 4.5v (3xAAA) in a delta stack, or whatever the tech term is for those adaptors, for driving lots of LEDs.

I was simply saying that the single AA alkaline battery was putiing out the 840mA in current under load. As far as how much the LED is getting, dat2zip told me that probably around 500mA was actually getting to the Luxeon itself.
As far as those HK cheapies go, I have no comment on those, because of no experience with them.
BTW-I'm still enjoying one of your older mods....do you remember that little blue Dorcy 1-AAA that you shoehorned the Q3J and NX05 optic into? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif (I got it from Wildcat).
