Hi Guys,
This seems like the best forum to ask my "run-time/batteries" question. Perhaps there's an electronic whiz out there who can solve something that's puzzling me.
There's something that I don't understand about my new-model (2017) Petzl Tikka. The literature on both the box and the Petzl website clearly states that the projected run-time is identical for both the middle-power 100 lumen setting and the high-power 200 lumen setting. It is 60 hours for both. That doesn't seem to make sense to me, based on my mediocre knowledge of electricity and physics.
Could somebody please explain the "howcome" of this to me?
There are just the three settings, with the 5 lumen low-power setting having a projected 240-hour run time. The high setting is just a regular high setting ... not a turbo or burst mode that defaults back down after a short period of time.
Here's a link to the "New Products" section of the Petzl website that I mentioned.

Thanks in advance.
