Test and performance results of the WE Cree HO 3.7 - 13V lamp?

[cernobila]

Has anybody here done any runtime, output and regulation tests on the following combination of cells with the WE Cree HO 3.7 - 13V lamp??

1x 17670
1x 18650
2x RCR123
2x 18500
2x 18650

I have tested the above lamp with 2x RCR123 cells and found that this combination is noticeably brighter outdoors than if I use a 1x 18650 cell. This lamp seems very versatile and it would be good to know all the possible variations for future reference.

Unscientifically I get about 1 hour 6 minutes on the HO lamp running AW RCR123's before it turns completely off.

I would go by the specifications that Mike@PTS has on his website.
I also highly recommend buying from Mike@PTS.

Is there any regulation with this set up, or does the output diminish with time.

I had a look at the info but there is no mention of the 2x RCR123 or 1x 18650 etc. set-up.....and yes, I have dealt with Mike in the past with very good results.....now we have our own dealer in Oz with the same good prices and customer service, the advantage being that I can get on the phone and there is virtually little or no time difference......
