Pictures tell more than thousand words! Good work...which configuration has the Apex?

Compare the current and the runtime - then you will know why

Good point Szemhazai
---------------
Hubert,
Can you mod the XP to run off of 4 batteries as well.
I noticed a considerable jump in brightness with my XP when I did the same. (High was slightly brighter than the 3 cell Boost output)

It should work fine - but consider cost/runtime ratio. You can't simply put 2 14500 li-ion cells there - for buck converter you need to connect both positive and negative to power up the driver (so one more wire). Then you can connect module to the myo.
2x 14500 li-ion cell 700-900mAh = 5,76 Ah
4x 14500 NiMH cell 2500mAh = 12 Ah
2x 14500 li-ion cell 700-900mAh = 5,76 Ah
4x 14500 NiMH cell 2500mAh = 12 Ah
APEX SEOUL-P4 modification:
P4 U bin Emitters (W42180-USX0H)
with Arctic Thermal grease
original reflector
Remember: the MYO is working in BOOST-Mode maximal 20 seconds!!!

High on the APex is great for a 'mine is brighter dude!' shootout
and night hiking with just the 5mm leds is efficient for battery life.
If the Apex did not have structural issues ( hinge prone to breaking and battery
cover cracks easily if unit is dropped) I'd choose it over the Myo Xp.
but till then the Petzl is my 'go to' light.
Just wish it was as cool looking as the Apex.:wave:
