For kicks, I tested how long my non-cree SureFire L1 would run on a battery that's about 1 year old and has a few minutes of runtime already on it.

Low: 162+ hours
High: 91 minutes.

All of the above is on one battery.

However, the 162+ hour time was spread out over several days:

Low
9 hours on
13 hour 38 off

13 hours 38 min on
2 min off

23 hours 59 minutes on
1 min off

13 hours on
5 seconds off

9 hours 40 min on
7 hours 24 min off

18 hours on
2 hour 50 min off

17 hours 5 minutes on
9 hours 3 min off

39 hours 50 min on
5 hours 26 min off

19 hours 3 min on
6 hours 23 min off

34 minutes on
<5 seconds off

High
91 minutes on

Then my L1 shut off.

Towards the end of each mode, the light did dim, but it was still usable.

When I bought this L1, SureFire did not tell me I'd get this kind of runtime with a used battery.

I find all my surefires brighter than advertised, and usually with a longer runtime, dirty, filthy lying...oh wait, i love my L1 :)
