Hi,
Would anybody know if there is any difference between the various APEX models, except their obvious differences like battery/pack/type and colours etc. ? Do they run at different voltages is their brightness different? Or does the APEX Extreme use 2x4 AA's in parallel, to provide the same voltage as the normal APEX, but to extend the runtime, for example etc.?
One more question/thought. Princeton states that their lights don't suffer from over voltage problem as a result of using Litium Ion cells. Would it be possible or make any sense to run 5xNiHm AA cells for example to extend runtime, would this boost output? I know the APEX is regulated, but is the output completely constant or does it have a slight drop-of due to drop in voltage as a result of battery discharge, would this be improved by running a slightly higher voltage battery pack?
Cheers,
Stijn
