I have searched and searched and cant grasp what i want. Actual regulated run time for the first gen cree e1l and e2l. And regulated run time for high on the second gen two stage e1l and e2l. That is how much time on high at a 100%. I am leaning towards a first gen e1l because i think it is 6 hours regulated? I know where their are several left, and i like the one batt format. I want a long running 1 cell surefire and i am leaning towards the e1l first gen. So thats all, the no bull regulated run time on high for both gen cree e1l and e2l. So anybody got it?

Later!! chris
 
1st gen Cree E1L: 6 hours *1
2nd gen Cree E1L: 4 hours *2
1st gen Cree E2L: 9 hours *3
2nd gen Cree E2L: 6 hours *4

*1: Deduced through current measurement, it draws the same current as the 2nd gen Cree E2L which has been measured to 6 hours.

*2: The current draw on the E2L was increased by 50%, assuming the same for E1L, something the lumen rating also suggests (45lm/30lm=1.5), the runtime should be 6 hours/1.5=4 hours.

*3: Runtime cure here.

*4: Runtime curve here.
