Runtime Index

[Illum]

Illum_the_nation,

What about including Mev's runtimes from light-reviews.com? Should ask him of course. Maybe direct links would be usefull.

Ex: Olight M20 Premium @ HIGH


Just a thought.

If your willing to generate a list feel free to post it here, its an open sticky:nana:
The forum will welcome your contribution as well:wave:

Here are the runtimes from Roy's profile, some may be repeats from post 1 [use CTRL+F to look for the runtime you want]
The graph links are gone, so its written measurements to 50% on these

Theres many more from here but the graphs are missing so I omitted the generation of the list from here. There are many links above that are now dead [no graph, no measurements, so I cannot guarantee if you can find what you need in them...I certainly do not have the time or bandwidth to look through them one by one ]

excuse the caps...

I CANNOT MONITOR THE FORUM AS CLOSELY AS I WANT TO DUE TO MY OCCUPATION, IF ANY OF THE RUNTIME MAKING MEMBERS CREATES ANY NEW THREADS FEEL FREE TO POST IT HERE!

REMEMBER, ITS NOT MY REFERENCE THREAD, ITS OUR REFERENCE THREAD!!!

[Splunk_Au]

I think the problem is not so much of these runtimes being at different places, rather there is no consistent source which use the same methods, same batteries types, so that they can be accurately compared.

 

[NightTime]

As proposed, here's my humble contribution to this thread. I'm giving links to light-reviews.com runtimes.

For each flashlight, you get links to runtime general curves (for every tested level, in hours). The last link is for precise runtimes (you need to scroll down the page to get the info).

Good job collating everything in one place, Illum. :thumbsup:

I've noticed you've listed my reviews by thread title. Since I've actually done a lot more runtimes on lights that didn't get an individual review, you might want to link to my master list sorted by actual light, found here:

good job keeping them together! :twothumbs:

some new ones from BigWaffles

For the following ones I simply used BigWaffles links as they are hosted on photobucket also...for me to put them in thumbnails would require me to rehost them after saving them to my computer...Hopefully no one will complain of too much pictures as this goes

I have been looking, but unable to find a runtime graph for the E1L. Single mode or Dual mode. :shrug:

 

[Illum]

I agree, and there are at least 5 request threads on it.
For one thing, the E1L simply do not get enough attention on the forum since there are quite a few other lights on the forum that costs less and can out perform it sometimes on size alone:candle:

Wow! I remember the days when there was the ol' CMG Infinity and--- that was it!

I've consolidated my graphs & data on this website here:

If anybody wants to know the equipment & measuring method I used, it is explained here:

I'll keep updating my thread and the above website with any new runtimes I do. Look for a 4D & 6D Maglite with a Malkoff on NiMHs in the near future.

Hey break time is over. Get back to work!

 

[Watts On]

I looked all over the site, but I can not find a runtime graph for the Maglite 3D LED, the one
that has 131 lumens and 79 hours of runtime. If anyone has that info, could you please post it here?

 

[SED]

I looked all over the site, but I can not find a runtime graph for the Maglite 3D LED, the one
that has 131 lumens and 79 hours of runtime. If anyone has that info, could you please post it here?

My interest is stock and modified D-cell MagLites. I am compiling a spreadsheet of performance data for various stock and custom D MagLite builds operating on alkaline, NiMH, and Lithium cells. With all due respects to the Mag Instrument Company, I question their published 79-hour runtime of the 131-lumen model of the 3D LED.

Here's why: The runtime for this light is way outside the pattern of data I have collected for the other lights. So I investigated a little further. This is a limited investigation, as I have neither the time nor the equipment to generate runtime curves.

Here is what I did, and what I found:

I measured the tailcap current of the 3D LED 131-lumen light I have, with new alkaline D cells installed, using a Fluke 75 multimeter. Tailcap current was 0.60 amperes initially, stabilizing at 0.55 amperes after about a minute. 0.55 amperes for 79 hours works out to 43 ampere-hours. Consulting performance charts published by Duracell company for their Coppertop - the cells I used for this test - I find that ampere-hour capacity for this cell peaks at about 14 ampere-hours at a .25 ampere rate. At 0.55 amperes, the capacity is about 12 ampere-hours. I am using the discharge-to-1.0-volts curve. Discharging to a lower voltage, e.g., 0.8 volts, will stretch this a little, but not to 43 ampere-hours. Also, I suspect that as the cell voltages drop, the LED driver will pull more current to compensate, which would decrease the runtime somewhat.

Using the Duracell curves, I estimate 12 AH effective cell capacity, and about 19 hours runtime at .55 amperes, for this light.

Perhaps there was a transcription error when the tests were run, and 19 was read as 79??? Just a thought.

The 3D LED MagLite is a good light. It would be worth the time of someone who is so equipped, to verify, modify, or refute my findings.

Regards.
