Last night, I performed a runtime test on the Lambda Illuminator. This test was performed using Rayovac Alks. The measuring instrument was a solar cell (using mA values) and a data-logging Fluke multimeter. Below is a table showing the data recorded. I set the meter to log a point in 15 minute increments, although I could have provided more resolution I didn't think it necessary (unless someone wants to see it).
0:00 - 4.078 mA
0:15 - 3.835 mA
0:30 - 3.526 mA
0:45 - 3.411 mA
1:00 - 3.221 mA
1:15 - 2.996 mA
1:30 - 2.792 mA
1:45 - 2.675 mA
2:00 - 0.550 mA (almost dead)
2:15 - 0.009 mA
I turned off the light this morning when I awoke. Around 15 minutes later, I was able to get light out of it agian after the batteries recovered. If anyone is curious, I can measure how much runtime you can get if you run it 15min on and 15 min off until dead.
