Maglite XL50 strobe question

[user1016]

Just bought a Maglite XL-50 which I'm very fond of, however I just wanted to know, does anyone have the runtimes for it on high, low and strobe? And in general (This may be a dumb question,) does a strobe function drain more / less battery on a flashlight?

Cheers!

Strobe functions generally draw less power than constant-on of same output, unless the driver is absolute crap.

No strobe numbers, but it will be at least the low run time of 36 hours

Ah thanks. 8 hours for high and 36 for low doesn't seem too bad.
