Surefire E1L (KX1) true regulated runtime? Anyone?

[dealgrabber2002]

Has anyone did a runtime chart for the new E1L on primary SF123? It stated 8.5 hrs on high, but doubt it stays constant for that long. I want to know when does it drop out of regulation. Thank you.

Re: 2008 Surefire E1L runtime?

I thought someone would have this data by now..:thinking:

I only recall seeing a graph for the KX2. On high, it runs about 5.8 hours in regulation on primaries. I would guess the KX1 runs for 3 hours, maybe even 4 since it outputs only 45 lumens.

yea, I think I recall seeing the KX2 graph as well. I am surprise no one did it on the KX1.

I've been looking for the same... anyone?

Here are current draw measurements (in milliamps) I made from some of my flashlights. You can compare the E1L to other lights and perhaps extrapolate the runtime from the other lights you own.

348 - E1L Cree dual level, 45 lumen level
 46 - E1L Cree dual level, low setting
198 - E1L Cree single level, 30 lumen level

152 - E2L Cree single level, 45 lumens

306 - Inova T1 MP (2008 model), 100 lumens
675 - Inova T1    (2007 model)
630 - Inova T1    (2006 TIROS model)
229 - Inova T2 (2006 TIROS model)
350 - Inova X02
510 - Inova T3 (2006 TIROS model)

I have noticed that my E1L (30 lumen model) flickers when the battery starts to get low. This was about after 5 hours of continuous runtime.
