Run-Time Plot - Vortex Tc-1

[Roy]

This runtime plot is for a Vortex TC-1 that is using a single 1w LS led and one Surefire CR123 Li battery.

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 40 mvDC per division which is equivalent to 40Fc @ 1Ft per division. The horizontal axis is 15 minutes per division.

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


The runeimt to 50% max brightness = 1hr 35 min.

Your battery discharge analysis looks a lot like mine.
It ran for 1 hour 40 minutes to the 50% intensity point, and ran for about two hours overall.

Equipment used for this test was a Radio Shack #22-805 charting DMM, an amorphous silicon PV cell, the "RS.EXE" software that came with the meter, and BATPLOT.EXE that was written specifically for these plots.

Thanks guys they concur. I'll link to LED Museum's plot but Roy- do you have a site with this data on for me to link to?
Thanks,
Aten

How's the beam color and throw?How does it compare to an arc-ls?
