This runtime plot is for an Inova X1 LED Spotlight. A single Everactive alkaline AA battery was used for this test.

Equipment used is a Extech Mdl 401021 Light Adapter into a Radio Shack 22-805 multimeter with a PC interface that is using ScopeView software (v 1.08).

The vertical axis is in mVDC and is equivalent to one footcandle per mVDC. The horizontal axis is one hour per division.

Be aware that your actual battery milage may vary from that incicated by this runtime plot.

The runtime to 50% max brightness = 5 hours and 56 minutes.

Here is the size comparison between the Inova X1, the CMG Ultra-G, and the ARC AA.

Re: Run-Time Plot - Inova X1

Thanks Roy. I am so glad I didn't pursue getting any of these. Between the large size and tight beam, the X1 has no place in my collection.
 
Re: Run-Time Plot - Inova X1

Very interesting... thanks for the info. I still kind of want to get one just to play with for a few days. (Curiosity is a good excuse for getting a new lights sometimes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Run time looks good. One hour grids make it look worse than Arc and CMG graphs.

Given that the packaging claims 'Up to 10 Hours Burntime' that runtime plot doesn't do the X1 any favours. Would be interesting to see the run time with a lithium AA in there.

Ohhh, I still have to have one for the toolbox, and glovebox, and...once again - different tools for different tasks.

I think it will be an interesting addition to the collection, seeing as it's an AA! ...and different color LEDs eh?
 
Re: Run-Time Plot - Inova X1

stuck mine in my pocket with a 1850 mah NiMH AA in it yesterday and it was still pretty close to initial brightness after 5 hours

--cell voltage was still 1.1 V at that point
