It'd take too long, it'd be measured by weeks.

The owners manual states that the default minimum setting of .3 lumens is 240 hours. The manual also states that every two settings lower will approximately double the runtime and vice versa.
Lowest setting of .08 lumens = around 960 hours.

Howdy tebore,
I've been thinking about doing an actual runtime test at the .33 lumen setting. According the NovaTac manual, it should last for 240 hours. If you extrapolate that..... the .08 lumen setting should give you somewhere around 960 hours, give or take a few seconds,
which I believe equates to around 40 days and 40 nights..... hmmmmmmm.

They also said it's based on the 60 lumen light.

Right you are slvoid..... I always stop reading to early, ha. So, the NovaTac manual goes on to say that the runtimes should actually be longer on the lower levels for the 85 and 120 lumen models.

That's way too long to constantly be checking it. I have a B60LE HDS that's modded with a SSC. I can set that to the lowest level and tell you in month if it's still on or not. I only use this light for biking but since it got cold I haven't done much of that.
If anyone wants to see that just speak up.

Does anyone have that chart for the run times for the old hds light?
