Run time of SN2?

What is the run time of the SN2 running the 3 x 123's with 5watt lux?

What's a SN2? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

He means Space Needle II Roy.

I don't know total runtime, because I HATE to use up 123s. I have only used mine for short bursts since I got it some months ago.

Someone mentioned a few days ago that it runs for 2 hours at full brightness and then a couple of hours at reduced brightness after that.
Can't seem to find that post now.

I believe it's around 45 minutes.

Thanks guys!! So roughly 1-2 hours full brightness...roughly...?

Uh, this is from a while back and wasn't scientific, but mine ran at full brightness for around 30 minutes then started to taper off after that during the next hour. Direct drive, so it will run the batts dry, but it will become more and more dim till it's just barely visible.

1-2 full brightness hours for a space needle II--only if you have it hooked up to a bench supply /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

You are most likely right Jason. I have not yet ran the Space Needle for longer than 20 minutes as I tend to use it in 30 seconds bursts. You will be happy to know that your former Space Needle is in a good home. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The beam from my newly purchased pre-owned Tigerlight does not look at all impressive next to the Space Needle's beam. I am starting to think I might have a "broken" Tigerlight or something.
