HI, My name is John, and I\'m a Flashlight-aholic....

Currently have 27 LED flashlights in the other room to give as Xmas presents. I personally own 12-13 different LED lights, and 10-12 regular incandescent flashlights. Guess I like flashlights.
Question: The technology seems pretty equal in the SureFire and Streamlight line, ie, the Scorpion and 6P/6Z both run for about an hour with comparable light output. You can only get so much energy out of the cells used. Yet I just read about a TACM III light with 2 Lithium cells, and they claim 105 Lumens (SureFire 6P is only 65) with a 1 hour and 20 minute burn time. The 6P with the P61 claims 120 Lumens but only burns for 20 minutes. How the heck does the TACM get an hour and 20 minutes off a set of batteries at 105 Lumens, or are they full of you know what with their claims?
