Pelican M6 \"220 hr\" lamp life
This light has become very popular very quickly, and one of its claimed features is an unusually long lamp life.
I have tried to find documentation of a specific burn life but have found conflicting claims ranging from 75 hours to 220 hours. Pelican is a reputable company, but the testing method has never been described and we have no way of knowing whether those hours are consecutive, sporadic or even if there is truth to any of those figures.
It would be useful for those who use this light to have a realistic appraisal of lamp life, especially heavy users whether professional or civilian.
I think that SureFire's bargain priced batteries will boost popularity of 123 lights, and more of us will be using them as "regular" flashlights for longer periods.
Anyone have information on Pelican's claims?
