Eiger performance and tint with XP-G LED?

[parnass]

I read the output and runtime data sheets for the Rebel Eigers, but I'm interested in reading reports from owners of a Peak Eiger with the new XP-G emitter.

How is the tint on the XP-G version? I want to avoid a green tint.

If you have both Rebel and XP-G version Eigers how do the tint and brightness compare with each other?

I want a medium optic AAA flashlight with runtime of about 4 hours (to 50% brightness) and an overall output of 40 to 50 lumens. I will power the light using either Energizer E2 lithium primary batteries or NiMH rechargeables.

The Rebel version doesn't look up to task. Could a #6 XP-G Eiger with 2xAA battery tube provide this 40 to 50 lumens for 4 hours? With a 1xAA battery tube?

Thanks.

Hmm, I missed this post before. I have several Eigers with XP-Gs and they are not even the slightest bit green. They are "cool" but they don't look bluish to me either. I'm actually quite satisfied with them. Compared to a neutral white SSC P4 (for example), it's more obvious that it's cool - but then again, Peak is selling them as "cool" LEDs...

As far as brightness, I posted here...

For runtime, your guess is as good as mine, but with 2xAAA (remember, the Eiger doesn't use AA cells), it ought to be pretty decent...

It would be nice if Curt could do a few additional runtime tests so we could do a little more extrapolation (say with a #2 and #6 on a single alkaline, single NiMH, and two alkalines). I'm not even imagining he has the time or energy to test every power level with every battery combination- obviously that would take months and we'd never see another new or improved light.

I know the "Peak Eiger Rebel AAA?" thread has runtimes for a #2 on a single alkaline cell, but it's only a single data point, so we can't interpolate, extrapolate, or anything-else-o-late except maybe for approximate runtimes on a single alkaline AAA.

Thanks for your comments, Rider.
