im running a ROP with resistance fixes on 6 eneloops and it only lasts at the most 25 minutes, i hav a few other bulbs lying around was wanting to know what bulb will give me the longest runtime around the 500 lumens mark and below(rop low bulb).

I have some WA1111 and carley 1057 bulbs also i havent tested them all yet for runtime.

anyone got any opinions on good long running bulbs?

All you need to do to see what will have better runtime is take a current reading through the tailcap. Lower current bulbs will have more runtime.

The 25 minutes on the ROP high on eneloops is right where it should be.

The WA1111 should be closer to 30 minutes on the same cells, The ROP low bulb should be closer to 50 minutes.

To get around or over an hour you might consider a GE787.
