M@G ROP HI w/2 AW LiIon's C cells

ROP HI won't make it. Low might, but may not be 500lm. Also, we're in the LED forum.
Take a look at Milkyspit's project M thread. Theres plenty of 500+ lumen lights that run over TWO hours.

ROP Hi will get close, ~50 min @ 1000 Bulb lumens. ROP Low will get ~2 hours @ 500 bulb lumens.
Last I checked we're in the General Flashlight Discussion forum. Where are you?

How is my costco HID? It's got ~3000lumens and about 2 hours runtime.

My CC has got ~5700 lumens, and will get ~90 mins with my current battery. But I'm expecting over 2 hours with my next battery.
Now now I'm not bragging(ok maybe a little) I just figured I'd throw it out there that the previous guys were thinking too small(most of us know how big the Costco HID is).

It's ok to brag a little.

From Milkspits thread.
Look at the output and runtimes.
You're getting close to 900lm for over an hour.

Most of your options are either HID or multiple LED lights.

The thread was moved AFTER you posted. And you're on crack if you think you can get 50 minutes from a ROP Hi 2C. https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/168766 ....36 minutes.

36 minutes is really close to the theoretical 38 minute runtime provided by the AW C cells that can supply about [email protected]. A traditional 4D/SubC ROP high can run for about 45 minutes, while a 6D one using D NiMH should provide about 2 hours of runtime.
Since the OP has specified no limit to flashlight size, a 6D is probably about the cheapest way to get there (what with $9.99 aluminum reflectors and $3.07 for five glass lenses), and it exceeds both runtime and lumen requirements by a goodly amount.

Well golly gee, how about a 3C ROP?
I sense a great bias against incan/HID users and crack smokers in your posts!!!

Hey now... I have a ROP 2C AND crack friends. So there! lol
Back on topic...
I think the best bet for runtime and output is Milkyspit's Project M. It's scary that you can get 800+ lumens for over 2 hours in a 2C!
