With the rise of LED's, a long runtime Incandescent is a bit of a niche catagory in our hobby. Nonetheless, I love the idea of obtaining long runtimes in Incandescent lights. Does anyone else here as well?
I purpose built a light for this specific purpose, and thought I would share a few pics and details here. It's a Fivemega 26650 E-Series body, Tad's Bi Pin Adapter with 3712 bulb (1.2A), Vapcell 5500mah cell, and most importantly, the guts of a Lightsaver Miser Tailcap installed, which allows me to run the light at 25% brightness.
So not accounting for resistance, lost battery capacity, etc, how much runtime am I looking at here on the 25% brightness setting? FWIW, HKJ just tested these cells and they actually rated at above 5700mah. And the 25% setting is still very useful at night for tasks.
What's the longest runtime incandescent setup you guys have seen, or own here on CPF? I have some other Tad's bulbs that I could underdrive and get some insane runtimes with.
