I really love the idea of NiMHs for everyday use.
If I want an LED light running on NiMHs, which is better; Opalec or Attitude?
Opalec has the flat brightness on NiMH...highly attractive! Also has the Lithium option for cold weather emergencies.
Attitude is about half the cost (I don't own a minimag) and thoroughly waterproof. Although, since it is unregulated, safe to run on NiMHs?
Everyday I take a 20 minute walk (this time of year...in the dark!), so I'd plan to recharge either set of NiMHs about once a week. So...ultimate battery life isn't really an issue. Each week I'd use the batteries down to about 2 hrs. off their life.
At the two hour mark, Brock's chart shows the Opalec at 35 and the Attitude at 28 (on alkalines) for brightness.
